Member Ohio Legislature, {1894 to 1896. {1896 to 1898. {1900 to 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. "Major" Taylor is the champion two-mile bicycle rider for 1902. A little consolation. Madam Baker is right—the pullback skirt women are wearing nowadays is disgustingly immodest and ought to go. Emboldened by the action of those who favor the "Jim Crow" cars, the Cincinnati Traction Company assumes the responsibility of prohibiting the use of certain cars to colored citizens. The law of Ohio strictly forbids any discrimination on account of race or color. Then there is wanton wilfulness on the part of those who undertake to do what the law forbids. Such action is no better than that of the mob who take the law in their own hands. Knowing better, yet as if through stealth, the company usurps unwarranted authority and imposes a rule of discrimination, which Ohio cannot afford to tolerate. It is provoking in the extreme that while this matter of race discrimination is being agitated so much to the discredit of the nation, that Ohio, one of the foremost states in the Union, should have to bear a stigma so disgraceful to her noblest pretensions. If President Kilgour did authorize such a distinction to be made, no one knew better than he that it was altogether contrary to the regulation of the state. Now, when Vice President Benson Foraker, blandly announces that President Kilgour made the rule and it is thoroughly understood, it only agravates a bad case that he should seem to countenance a thing which he must admit is an encroachment upon the rights of the people. The people have declared that no such encroachment shall be allowed, and it speaks rather badly that Senator Foraker, who is ever at the front in defense of the law and the rights of the people, is to be confronted with the fact that his son is not found giving sanction to the efforts of that father. The idea that our best and most respectable citizens must be barred from entrance to street cars where white people ride becomes at once abhorrent and ridiculous. "Oh," says Vice President Foraker, "White ladies wear white dresses and they would not hire our special cars if colored people had used them." But white ladies all over the country are incidentally and otherwise occupying places which in some way have been filled by persons of color. The matter, however, is a question of right and not of taste. The company has no power to discriminate against one race for another, and it is hoped that Senator Foraker will instruct the company accordingly. THE CURSE OF ALMIGHTY GOD. Nearly every lyncher in the city of Memphis known to the community, and the newspaper fraternity has reaped the fruits of his terrible work. Dishonest in their deeds of diabolism, the lynchers in taking the lives of Tom Moss, Calvin McDowell and Will Stewart gloated in a crime the most revolting in any age of the world. Civilization blushed to own its growth and shrunk abash in dismay that there could be found demons among living men who would violate the obligations of her plighted faith. But she entered the account against the perpetrators of the unpardonable deed and left it in its reckoning. The guilty tread of the lynchers betrayed itself in almost every subsequent dealing, for the appalling curse was a manifestation in every passing countenance which expressly pointed him out to the gaze of the thoughtful observer, THOU ART THE MAN. But they were known, because of their bold and shameless boast and within the brief space of a single decade one after another is exposed to open ignominy, the first the embezzler, then the highwayman, another a paralytic, others as bankrupts and drunkards, others called to their graves, despised and forgotten, and the one man, the brute who played the butcher and did the killing, lingers in the penitentiary for perjury, forgeries and crimes which marked him as the accused of a thousand villainies. That man is Richardson. His sins have found him out and none dare espouse his cause or vindicate his shame. This chief of lynchers, the reprobate and prince of devils, still lives and reaps the fruit of his own sowing. Knowing that this leader of the gang had played the part of a red-handed murderer, the wife determined to serve no longer as the companion of his bosom. Her aversion to the man gradually became more intense, until finally she sought a divorce as a release from her shame. The community is all agog and people crane their necks in bewilderment that a criminal judge now defendant at the bar had led the mob and the wife now sues for a divorce. Startling, indeed, that he who would administer the law should now betray the law. A remarkable instance again presented itself, when an Afro-American and plaintiff, appeared in court against a white man for destroying the peace of his home. This same judge and chief of the lynchers appeared as attorney for the defendant. Nerved with the same spirit of defiance for law, this bad man began his pleading. He spurned the idea of a Negro suing a white man. He was arrogant, imperious, threatening and violent. He addressed the plaintiff and demanded to know, "How dare you, sir, to drag this white man up here upon such a charge?" But the Negro was full of remorse, unrelenting, wrathful and the boldest of his kind. "How dare I? Ah, sir, but I say to you, I say to defendant, and I say it now to all who hear me, I would take my hatchet and cut into splinters any man who would invade the sanctity of my premises. I would hunt the villain down and there should be no parleying like this in court to determine this case. Negro men have been made victims of the mob, have been butchered, mutilated and burnt and you, sir, it is claimed, have aided in these cruelties; but I have no fears of your threats; I scorn your angry words; I tell you now, and I warn you, let that white man, or any man, beware how he attempts to break the peace of families. You may have led the mob, and even taken innocent life, and if needs be you can have another lynching frolic to-day, for I mean (God helping me) to defend my family and my home regardless of your threats and your mobs." The plaintiff is a leading Negro undertaker in the city of Memphis. He spoke with great force, addressing the attorney and mobocrat, who quailed in the presence of such boldness. PULL-BACK SKIRT IMMODEST. So Mme. Baker Tells Chicago Dress- makers and Thex Anlaud. Chicago, Ill.—According to Mme. Baker (white), who expressed the sentiment of the Dressmakers' association in a lecture on "Styles," at the convention in the Fine Arts building, the days of the pull-back skirt are numbered. "Even at the beginning the 'pull-back' was considered a vulgar garment," said Mme. Baker. "It was so tight about the hips, and almost down to the knees, that it displayed a woman's form too freely, and it could have been called anything but modest. In Paris to-day, if you see a woman walking about with a skirt that fits like an eelskin you can rest assured that she is an American woman. No Parisienne would think of wearing such a skirt now, for they have long ago gone out of fashion. "The 'pull-back' skirt is immodest, and a newer and better style has been adopted. The skirts of to-day are cut somewhat looser, and while they still preserve the general outlines, the hips are hidden by plaits. Otherwise the skirt is made with a flare at the bottom and produces a charming effect, and at the same time avoids the vulgarity of the old 'pull-back' skirt, making walking possible without an effort." This sentiment was applauded apparently unanimously, and the modistes present agreed the tight skirt was on the road to extinction. Cure for Small-Pox. I herewith append a receipt 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 conquers in every instance. It is harmless when taken by a well person. It will cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as 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. Wellsburg, W.

Official Results of Grand Circuit- Torque Time Milliseconds New York City.—The grand circuit of the N. C. A. for 1902 is closed, the last meet being declared off for want of a track to take it. This leaves Kramer the champion, with Taylor second, Lawson third and Collett and Kimble tied for fourth place. The first three finished in the same order that they did last year, but Kramer this season has a bigger lead in points. Last year the final score was Kramer, 80; Taylor, 66; Lawson, 50. Fourteen men won points in the championship contests this season, as against 15 last year. The final score for 1902 is as follows: 1st. 2d. 3d. 4th. Pts. F. L. Kramer..18 4 1 0 128 Major Taylor ..5 6 1 1 57 Iver Lawson ..1 6 4 4 38 O. S. Kimble ..0 4 3 4 28 G. H.

There were 24 championship meets from the time the grand circuit started at Revere Beach on July 12. Kramer beat Taylor nine times and Taylor beat Kramer four times and they rode one dead heat. Taylor did not start on the circuit until after Kramer had 30 points by winning six races straight. Lawson also missed several of the early meets. HANNA RESPONSIBLE Afro-Americans Barred Out of the Alabama Republican Convention—Their Only Hope. Birmingham, Ala.—The Alabama republican state convention was held Sept. 16 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. GOT A TEACHER OF THEIR OWN Our Folks of an Indiana Town Outwit the Authorities. Indianapolis, Ind. — For several years a school for Afro-American pupils, with a white teacher, has been maintained at Tell City, but recently the silly prejudice of the whites in many southern Indiana counties has became very marked. This our people noted and at the beginning of the present school year asked the local trustees to appoint a teacher of their own class. The board refused and Leander Yarito (white) was installed as teacher. None of the pupils went to the school. County Truant Officer Malone was notified and gave each patron the five days provided by law. But our people were not to be outdone, and Miss Nannie Bell, of Cannelton, was obtained, the Baptist church opened and a private school begun on Monday week. The truancy law of the state provides for a "public, private or parochial school." Yarito opens and closes his school on time, but without pupils. Having a signed contract, he will draw his salary.

Battle Fought in the Swamps-Moros Opened Fire on Our Troops With a Brass Cannon - Twenty of Them Were Killed and Many Wounded. Manila, Oct. 2. The Maciu Moros in Mindanao have offered but slight resistance to the column under Capt. Pershing, of the Fifteenth cavalry. After a series of skirmishes on Monday and Tuesday of this week the Moros retreated into six forts on the shores of the lake. The American column reached the former camp at Maciu Sunday night. On Monday the Moros opened fire on them with a brass cannon and rifles from a series of new forts which had been erected since Capt. Pershing's first visit to the place. The battery under Capt. William S. McNair scaled a ridge commanding the position of the Moros and shelled them out. The engineers under Capt. Jay J. Morrow had constructed a trail over the swamp flanking the Moro position. The men of Capt. Pershing's column crossed the swamp by the trail and captured and destroyed three of the Moro forts. The Moros stood but a short while, and ran as soon as the artillery opened on them. Capt. Pershing has been ordered to destroy the forts unless the Moros make peace. Twenty Moros were killed and many were wounded. There were no casualties among the Americans. Washington, Oct. 2.—The war department officials are watching with great interest the operations of Capt. Pershing against the Maciu Moros, who are located near the southeast end of Lake Lanao, on the island of Mindanao. The datto at Maciu has proved to be one of the most powerful and stubborn in his resistance to the United States. He has perhaps 3,000 or 4,000 followers. It was the Maciu Moros who last spring killed a number of American soldiers and captured stock belonging to them. An unsuccessful effort was made to get them to surrender the murderers and give up the stock that had been taken, but their datto was obdurate and the war department determined on the compaign which Capt. Pershing apparently has gone far towards bringing to a successful conclusion. G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT. Official Program of the Washington Conclave Is Announced Washington, Oct. 2. The official program of the thirty-sixth encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which will be held in this city next week, was issued yesterday.

R., the Daughters of Veterans and the Women's Veterans' Relief union. RIVAL INVENTORS. They Test Their Airships in the Atmosphere Above Long Island. New York, Oct. 1.—Two airships made ascents yesterday on Long Island which surpassed the achievements of any other of their kind on this continent. The airships were the creations of rival inventors, Leo Stevens and Edward C. Boice, and their performances were very much in the nature of a competitive run, both being in the air at the same time and both faring about equally well. The wind was light. It is claimed that the Boice airship ascended to a height of about 1,000 feet and sailed a course about two miles in extent, the navigator finally alighting by means of a ladder resting against a telegraph pole near the point of starting. For the Stevens airship it is claimed that the ascent was to a height of 4,000 feet. After making a flight of about two miles the balloon in descending came in contact with telegraph wires and became disabled, but the navigator succeeded in alighting in safety and the airship was rescued without serious injury. McCullough Is Elected Governor. Montpeter, Vt., Oct. 2.—The legislature yesterday elected as governor, Gen. John G. McCullough, republican, of Bennington. At the polls Gen. McCullough failed to receive a majority of votes, although receiving the largest number of votes cast. Yesterday, however, he received his majority, having the support of 164 members of the legislature. Percival W. Clement, the high license local option candidate, received 59 votes, and Felix W. Gettrick, the democratic candidate. 45. Z. S. Stanton, republican, of Roxbury, was elected lieutenant governor. A $ 85,000,000 Land Bank A $3,000,000 Land Grant. Sault Ste Marie, Oct. 2.—The Detroit, Mackinaw & Marquette Railway Co. has sold to the Cleveland Cliffs Co. for $5,000,000 a million acres of timber and agricultural lands, located largely in Chippewa, Marquette and Luce counties, Michigan. Eight Miners are Killed. London, Oct. 2.—The breaking of a rope attached to a car which was ascending the shaft of a coal mine at Pontypool, Wales, yesterday, precipitated the car, which contained eight men. 300 yards to the bottom. All were instantly killed. COLER AND BULGER. They Head the New York Democrats' State Ticket - Mr. Devery Not Permitted to Sit as a Delegate in the Convention. Saratoga, N. Y., Oct. 2.—The following is the democratic state ticket named yesterday: For Governor—Bird S. Coler, of Brooklyn. Lieutenant Governor—Charles N. Bulger, of Oswego. Secretary of State—Frank Mott, of Chautauqua. Comptroller—Charles M. Preston, of Ulster. State Engineer and Surveyor—Richard W. Sherman, of Oneida. State Treasurer—George R. Finch, of Warren. Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals—John C. Gray, of New York. The convention was so strenuous in its final hours as to bring almost personal conflict, and yet terminated in such perfect harmony as to allow completion of the state ticket with less than 100 delegates out of 450 in the hall. A great deal of the interest in the convention centered in the attitude it would take toward the seating of William S. Devery, former head of the police department of New York, who held a regular certificate of election from the Ninth New York district. It was not an unexpected event that the convention decided to unseat him; and it was not also unexpected that his followers were vociferous in their objections. When the convention decided to adopt the report of the committee by the vote of 422 to 21. Mr. Devery walked out of the convention after being allowed to declare himself a good democrat, and proceeded to hold a mass meeting on the steps of the United States hotel. He was assisted in this by James Graham, of the Longshoremen's association of New York, and Richard Butler, of the United Bridge Workers of New York, who denounced the action of the convention in refusing to seat Devery. Perhaps the most dramatic situation during the convention was the refusal to hear the opposition that developed to Mr. Coler from the Third district and from New York City. Moses Wafer, of Kings, and one other delegate attempted to make speeches in opposition, but the objection of various delegates and the attitude of the chair in ruling them out of order at that time forbade them continuing. But when Mr. Coler's name had been placed in nomination and the nominations closed, Nathan Straus, of New York, arose and offered objections to Mr. Coler. He was allowed to go to the platform to talk. He had hardly begun to state his objections when he was roundly hissed and finally was ruled out of order. He started to leave the platform, putting the notes from which he was reading in his pocket, and when he had reached the steps leading to the auditorium he was surrounded by a number of newspaper men who desired copies of his remarks. He was attempting to determine who to give them to, when a number of Tammany delegates surrounded him and, pressing him against the wall, took the notes from him and tore them up. Luckily he had preserved a copy in his pocket and this copy he managed to hand to the newspaper men. The Straus incident ended objections to the ticket, The platform opposes trusts that injuriously affect consumer and employer and drive out small manufacturers, and especially condemns the so-called beef and coal trusts. Restriction of the amassing of wealth is advocated and the amendment of the tariff law by placing the necessities of life on the free list is demanded. The Dingley tariff law is condemned as a whole. The president is criticised for dilatory conduct and is accused of not wanting to offend the trusts. TRAGEDY IN HARLEM. The Mutilated Body of a Young Woo man Is Found in a Tenement. New York, Oct. 2.—The body of Jennie Larsen, a Danish woman, 2 years old, was found in the apartment of Louis Appleord, on the third floor of a tenement in Harlem yesterday. She had been dead for days according to a medical expert. The body was mutilated and much decomposed and gas filled the room where it was found. Despite the gas and stench which first revealed the tragedy, Appleord, in a dazed mental condition, was in the room when it was entered by the police. Dr. Donovan, who examined the body, found that the abdomen had been gashed in several places. He said he believed the woman had been dead five or six days, and it was his belief that she had been the victim of a criminal operation. Appleord was arrested as a suspicious person. It was learned from his incoherent talk that the woman was his niece. He had caused her to come from Denmark ten days ago, he said, to be his housekeeper. A search of the rooms brought to light a bundle of letters written in Danish. They were addressed to Appleord, signed with the young woman's name, and all of them were dated New York, during the month of August and September. Appleord is 53 years old and a conductor on a line of horse cars. Coroner Scholer's opinion is that the girl was strangled to death. Payne's Warning. Washington, Oct. 2.—Postmaster General Payne has addressed a letter to all employees of the postoffice department regarding the extent of the prohibition put by the department on political activity among postoffice employees. The letter says: "As to political activity, a sharp line is drawn between those in the classified and those in the unclassified service. Postmasters or others holding unclassified positions are merely prohibited from using their offices to control political movements, from neglecting their duties, or from causing public scandal by political activity."

The reply to the Bolden sequal in last Sunday's Plain Dealer will be found on Page 1 of this paper. Read it carefully. The Gazette compiled a partial report and will force out the rest ere long. It is said that the few Afro-Americans who attended the republican campaign opening in Akron last Saturday were nearly "starved" when they reached home. Many loud complaints were heard. They were advised not to go. Memorial services for A. J. Cooley, who died at the pest house recently, were held at Shiloh church Sunday afternoon. It was crowded. It was the deceased's dying wish that the pastor preach his funeral sermon, and he did. Rev. B. K. Smith is now in full charge of the Baptist church in Oberlin and has moved his family there. His oldest son, Roy, has entered High school, and his daughter, Pearl, the eighth grade. Both are getting along nicely. J. W. Crawford, of $100_{1/2}$ Prospect street, has repainted and repaired his restaurant and will keep open nights until after the theaters. Anyone wishing oysters in any style should call on him. His prices are reasonable and he has the best. Mr. and Mrs. A. I. Williams gave an enjoyable reception in honor of Mrs. Rhodes, of Detroit, last week Thursday evening. Mrs. Rhodes, who has been the guest of her sister, Mrs. Walter Brown, the past four weeks, returned home last Sunday. Chas. Johnson and Bertha Lee were arrested by Patrolmen Martinee and Dempsey Tuesday night on Lake street, charged with holding up Isaac Parker the night before. As the man was being put in the wagon he threw $18 on the pavement. This is the sum Parker lost. But 53 Afro-Americans, eight of whom were boys, headed by the Metropolitan band, were in the parade that was supposed to go to Akron last Saturday. Hardly half of the number were coaxed by free tickets to go after reaching the depot. Good! There were to have been 250 or 350, according to the daily newspapers. Rev. Charles Bundy will preach his farewell sermon at St. John's church to-morrow evening. Special music will be rendered by the quartette choir: Mrs. Anna Smith, Mrs. Grace Brown, J. W. Noble and Mr. Carroll Scott. Rev. Bundy leaves for conference Tuesday night. He attended the Ohio conference in Zanesville the past week. Mr. S. Grant, the tailor, has opened an establishment at No. 490 Central avenue, where he remodels garments and makes a specialty of ladies' tailoring. Here is another opportunity for our people to patronize one of our own class. He does only the best work and at rates as reasonable as any. Let our men and women take their work to Mr. Grant. Miss Lulu Trent, of St. Joseph, Mo., who visited Cleveland a few weeks ago with her father, J. M. Trent, at stopping at Mrs. Wise's, on Central avenue, writes that she admired the Forest City. The Trents are among the best and most highly respected of our people in St. Joseph. Miss Louise THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O., SATURDAY. OCTOBER 4. 1902. is a teacher in the public schools there. Her school opened on September 15 with 40 pupils. Alex. O. Taylor, after ten years' service as organist of St. John's church, formally tendered his resignation last Monday evening to accept a similar position with St. Andrew's Episcopal church, same to take effect October 6. He will also have charge of the choir and the musical interests of the church. Dr. Edwardina Grant, as organist, and Turner J. Hicks as choir master, were highly recommended by Mr. Taylor to the music committee to succeed him. Both were unanimously elected. Mr. Hicks directed St. Paul's choir in Columbus for 17 years. Miss Allie Wood, of Indianapolis, one of that city's cleverest and talented young ladies, was married to Mr. George Jones, of this city, Wednesday evening at Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Montgomery's, of Lincoln avenue, Rev. J. C. Turner, of the Second A. M. E. church, officiating. The marriage was private. On Monday afternoon a linen shower was tendered her. The house was decorated in red and green. Many handsome pieces of linen were received. Mrs. Jones desires to return thanks to Mrs. Montgomery's friends for the many beautiful presents received. Mr. Jones is well and favorably known here. The Gazette, as well as their many friends, wish Mr. and Mrs. Jones long life, success and happiness. 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 'disfranching' 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!

Washington, Oct. 2.—Bids for the construction of the battleship Louisiana were opened at the navy department yesterday. The lowest bid was that of the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., of Newport News, Va., which offered to build the battleship within 41 months from date of contract for $3,990,000. Intense interest was felt in the bidding at the navy department, for it was desired to know just how the recent combine of shipbuilders would affect the bidding for government work. The Newport News Co., which is outside of the organization, heavily undercut the syndicate members in the bidding. Held to the Grand Jury New York, Oct. 2.—The coroner's jury in the case of the murder of Capt. James B. Craft returned a verdict yesterday that Craft came to his death by violence at the hands of Thomas Tobin, Alexander McNerney and Robert S. Kelly. The three accused men were committed to the Tombs without bail to await the action of the grand jury. The headless body and the partly burned head of the captain were found last Saturday in this city in the basement of a building occupied by a resort known as the Empire Garden. Would Bar the Naughty Dances. St. Louis, Oct. 2. Mrs. James Blair, of St. Louis, was yesterday elected president of the board of lady managers of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. Miss Helen M. Gould offered a set of resolutions which express the sentiment of the board in favor of a high moral tone in the exposition and against anything savoring of the objectionable dances performed on the Midway of the Chicago fair. Policemen Guard White House Coal Washington, Oct. 2.—The first carload of anthracite coal received in Washington since the beginning of the coal strike arrived here Wednesday. It is held for the use of the White House and on its arrival several policemen were detailed to guard it. Later two carloads arrived under consignment to the District of Columbia government and were distributed to school houses. Refused to be Ambushed. Seranton, Pa., Oct. 2.—Four men from the Thirteenth regiment, who were sent out to guard a reservoir were informed on their way back that a big crowd of armed strikers were waiting for them in ambush. They decided that discretion was the better part of valor and, descending into the mine through the famous Archbald glacial pot hole, walked two miles underground and were taken to the surface at the Raymond shaft. Castro's Victory. Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Oct. 2.—President Castro, of Venezuela, after leaving Valencia, at the head of an army of 6,000 men, with 17 guns, with the announced intention of attacking the insurgent force at Toçuyito commanded by Gen. Mendoza, reached San Juan de Los Moros, believing that Mendoza was there. But the president found only 1,500 guerillas at that place and after a sharp fight the latter were routed. Sues Importers for a Million. New York, Oct. 2.—Gen. Burnett, the United States district attorney, commenced suit in the United States district court yesterday against A. S Rosenthal & Cohn, silk importers, to recover $1,035,899. This sum, it is alleged, represents the amount, together with penalties, lost by the government in connection with the alleged fraudulent entries of Japanese silks, with which Rosenthal & Cohn are charged. Miles Is at Sea: San Francisco, Oct. 2.—Lieut. Gen. Miles sailed for the Philippines yesterday on the transport Thomas, which will call at Honolulu and Guam. With Gen. Miles are Lieut. Col.

The general order governing the instruction under army officers at schools and colleges throughout the country will cause a good deal of consternation at the institutions to which these new regulations, published from the war department, apply. The order is a result of reports made by the inspectors general of the army, who have been visiting the different schools, colleges and universities where the government maintains an army officer at public expense as a professor of military science and tactics, and to which the war department sends each year a quantity of quartermasters' supplies and ordnance equipment for the use of the students in the military department. It has been reported to the Washington authorities that at hardly any of these institutions is the military department regarded as of any importance. The army officers detailed as instructors usually have to find time for their labors outside of the college day, and there are numerous annoyances and inconveniences placed in the path of the officer who is sent to do this important work. Some colleges receive under an old law an annual sum of $24,000, with the idea that they shall maintain among other features a military department. Few colleges pay any attention to this branch of the work, and at some of them the drilling and pictures on the art of war are conducted so as to discourage students taking any active part in that work. The war department has decided that it shall establish certain requirements and compel educational institutions to observe certain rules, and failure to live up to these regulations will result in the army officer being withdrawn from the college as an instructor. The order will arouse a good deal of opposition and some remonstrances from a few of the colleges which have not taken kindly to the detail of army professors, and who only have accepted the presence of army officers in the capacity of professors in military science because the service of such an instructor costs the college nothing and was an ostensible compliance with the law. WORLD'S RECORD BROKEN. Connecticut Horseman Does a Mile in a Road Wagon in Two Minutes, Fifteen and One-Half Seconds. The world's wagon record on a half-mile track was broken at the fair grounds at South Norwalk, Conn., by a pair of horses driven by their owner, E. T. Bedford, of Green's Farms. The time made for the mile was $2:15\frac{1}{2}$. Mr. Bedford personally drove the pair, Bemay, black mare, $2:13\frac{1}{4}$, and York Boy, bay gelding, $2:08\frac{3}{4}$. Mr. Bedford's intention was to break the state record, $2:20\frac{1}{2}$, but succeeded in breaking the record for the world. The time by quarters was: First quarter, 0:35; half mile, 1:08; three-quarters, 1:43; mile, $2:15\frac{1}{2}$. The previous record was $2:16\frac{1}{4}$, made in Toledo. Must Keep Spendthrift Wife. Justice Spring, of the New York supreme court, sitting in the appellate division, has handed down a decision in which he holds that gross extravagance and forgery committed by a wife to raise money do not in New York state constitute a cause of action for a limited divorce, and he therefore refuses to reverse the action of the lower court, which dismissed the complaint, in a suit brought on the grounds mentioned. In discussing the case Justice Spring is quoted as having said: A husband takes a wife for better or worse, and because she does not conform her expenditures to his notions of economy is not a ground for casting her from him. A gentleman, accompanied by his son, has just selected a picture representing a group of four peaches and a cut melon. "How much?" he inquires. "Fifty dollars."

There are many medicines that relieve these conditions, but you want a remedy—a cure. Read this statement; it tells of a cure that lasted. Veteran Josiah Heller, place of residence 706 South Walnut St., Urbana, Ill., says: "In the fall of 1889 I procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Cunningham's drug store in Champaign and after taking the remedy conscientiously I made a public statement of the results. I told how Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me of kidney trouble, disposed of my lame back and the pains across my loins beneath the shoulder blades, etc. During the interval which has elapsed I have had occasion at times to resort to Doan's Kidney Pills when I noticed warnings of another attack and on each and every occasion the result obtained was just as satisfactory as when the Pills were first brought to my notice. At this time I just as emphatically endorse the preparation as I did several years ago.

THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Some Peculiarities in Fall Hats This year, thanks be to the freaks and frigidity of the clerk of the weather, we have been positively looking forward in the appearance of the new furs and felts of autumn for the reign of fragile and filmy fabrics has been of the briefest, and on many a day of July, calendared as summer, we should have been glad of the cosy warmth of becoming fur ties and boas. The charming coloring and marking of chinchilla fur is shown off to excellent advantage by the wide flat shape of that first tie, which at the back, is so shaped as to suggest a collar, while then the tapering fronts are finally finished off with a couple of tail-like ends. That always favorite and fashionable fur, mink, is represented by the tie, where, at either side, a little furry head peers out above a couple of tails, THE LADY'S DRESS Promenade costumes have become as much a necessity to fashionable society as are evening gowns or house gowns. Anyone can thoroughly understand this if they will but visit the section of New York where are located the more noted restaurants, or visit the corridors of the fashionable hotels during the afternoon or evening. On Fifth avenue, almost anywhere above Washington square, and on al- Some Peculiar The flat hat with a broad straight brim is the popular form for autumn wear, but it is by no means the only form. Every changing season brings with it its novelties and monstrosities that are looked at, wondered over, bought and worn by a few, and pass away to make room for the best the season's modes offer. So it is with hats this season. Every milliner's windows are filled with a display of these novelties, some of them pretty in their quaintness and others actual monstrosities so hideous that it seems impossible that they should appeal to any sensible woman. One wonders what becomes of these monstrosities in hats, the great turbans with crowns formed of such things as a big rooster's head, or a flopping picture hat of emerald green, loaded with half ripe apples. They eventually find their way to the row of millinery shops on Division street on the East side, and from there are sold to the visitors whose curiosity attracts them to that part of the city. BEFORE THE FOOTLIGHTS. It is said that Hamlin Garland is at work on a play of Colorado life. The first American performance of Hall Caine's dramatization of his "The Eternal City" is set down for September 29, in Washington. Frau Karoline Brahms, the stepmother of the composer, died a short time ago near Hamburg at the advanced age of 78 years. Brahms was devoted to her and by his will secured her comfort in her declining years. Dore Davidson is negotiating for a and again a fringe of tails finishes off the tie far below the waist. Nor must you think that the fox ties, which usurped so much of fashion's favor last season, are to be forgotten this year—far otherwise; a muff to match, as those pictured, the popularity of this particular and pretty fur is not in the least likely to wane. There are a number of notable changes to be seen in the early models, though the changes seldom go to such extremes as to make it necessary for the woman with a fur garment to either replace it or have it made over so long as she confines herself to collars, boas, muffs and capes. It is only when she gets into coats that the changing styles necessitate the expenditure of large sums if her garments are not to become notable because of their lack of seasonable modishness. most any pleasant afternoon or evening will be found countless numbers of these promenade gowns. But not only are they a necessity in New York, but they have penetrated to every part of our land. The less fashionable of womankind—and by that I mean the less wealthy—class them as street gowns, and the same may answer for church wear or afternoon calling. Here is one pictured that is typical of the elegance of this class of gowns. The model is the creation of a famous Paris costumer, and this is one of the recent importations. The gown is exceedingly simple and it is suitable for all weathers, as there is nothing on it to get out of condition. The material used is royal blue cloth, and the skirt is ornamented with plaits, which are stitched down to within a few inches of the hem, where they are allowed to spring open, which arrangement makes the skirt more becoming, and more comfortable for walking wear. The coat is cunningly cut so that it forms plaits on the shoulders, the lower one wrapping over on to the sleeve and folding over on to these is a broad collar faced with velvet, from underneath which revers of embroidered cloth, which are held together on the chest with a cord and tassels. The outer sleeves are in keeping with the skirt, and underneath these are puffed sleeves of embroidered cloth to match the revers, and these are gathered into cuffs of cloth with a lattice-work of narrow black velvet ribbon on them. The en-tont-cas is of plain blue silk to match the gown. ies in Fall Hats as well as to the East side belles. But they do not sell for the prices that are shown on them in the windows of the Fifth avenue milliners. A striking feature of all autumn hats is the brilliant plumaged birds and wings. No pretense at original colorings is made. In every shop one may find long counters filled with birds with bright green wings, the tips of the feathers tipped with brilliant scarlet, and the head of the bird of the same scarlet shade. Some of them show changeable colors that are much more beautiful than lifelike in effect. They are certainly an odd feature of our millinery modes, but a very popular one. Turban shapes are attaining a popularity that was hardly to be expected. There are the heavy Spanish box turbans that are favorites among the class of women who can wear them to advantage. There is a demand for smaller turbans that has not yet been entirely met in the new models but the milliners tell me that it will be... ELLEN OSMONDE.

SHORT NEWS NOTES They Come From Many Parts of the Earth. nformation of Recent Date Collected in Various Ways and Condensed For the Convenience of Our Busy Readers. With the expectation of being ready to present to congress at the opening of its next session a fabric of treaties between the United States and Cuba, negotiations are pending between Mr. Quesada, the Cuban minister, and the state department with regard to a commercial treaty, an extradition treaty and a treaty to adjust the title to the Isle of Pines. As a result of a revolt of peasants in the district of Bedadeny, Hungary, the military were called upon to suppress the disorder and fired a volley, killing four persons and wounding others. Boston coal dealers have further advanced the price of soft coal $1 per ton to $8.50. With this advance soft coal has appreciated in price $2.50 ton in a week. The price of hard coal remains at $15 a ton, but there is little to be had. Two freight trains were wrecked on the Norfolk & Western railroad at Montgomery, Tenn. Two firemen were killed. Engineer Thomas Keister was badly scalded. Two of the hard coal roads have issued reports of earnings in recent months. They show enormous losses as a result of the strike. Since July 1, the Central of New Jersey has earned $842,685 less than last year. The net earnings of the New York, Ontario & Western showed a decrease of more than 50 per cent., just $128,-607 less than in the preceding August. Peat, cut from the swamps near South Chicago and dried until fit for fuel, may be placed on the market as a rival of high priced coal, if experiments now being made are successful. Twenty-six persons have been killed and a score of people have been injured as the result of an accident to an express train running from Lille to Paris, France. The train left the rails while crossing a switch. The large extract plant of the United States Leather Co. at Big Stone Gap, Va., has been destroyed by fire. The loss will reach $150,000. The plant was built three years ago. The fire originated from friction of a wooden pulley. The Window Glass Workers' association, L. A. 300, K. of L., has won a victory for its members by securing a sharp wage advance from the manufacturers. The advance granted is 12 per cent. over the wages recently secured by the rival organization headed by John L. Denny. While Thomas Ward, of Chicago, was beating his mother and threatening to kill her, his brother Michael shot him through the head, inflicting a wound from which he died a few minutes later. Many barges loaded with anthracite have been wrecked in Long Island sound. A company has been organized to recover this coal by means of "sweep" boats which will be used to locate the wrecks. A diver will be sent down to each wreck and if the outlook is satisfactory, powerful pumps will be put to work, the coal will be sucked up and run over screens into the dredges. Structural iron workers of Chicago to the number of 300 or more have struck and as a result work on three large skyscrapers and the new post-office building is at a standstill. Plans are being perfected for a combination of a number of the largest jewelry manufacturing firms in New England. The plans of the combination include merging large plants in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Half a hundred members of the North Hudson club, at West Hoboken, N. J., witnessed the death of their steward, William Wiebach, who was killed by a live electric wire on the roof of the club house, while they stood powerless to save him. Commander Robert E. Peary, the Arctic explorer, says he believes that the Arctic region is one of the best places on earth for persons afflicted with pulmonary diseases. Ending his days as an inmate of the almshouse on Blackwell's island, N. Y., there has been identified in Adolph Boedesch, a one-time banker of Vienna, whom the Austrian police have been hunting for years. In Vienna, Boedesch is said to have been known as Adolph Bettelheim, a banker, and he is alleged to have disappeared with upward of $250,000. Giving as an excuse that they could not work without meat, 20 inmates of the state prison at Trenton, N. J., struck work in the brush shop and most of them are now in chains in the dungeons. Before the present high rates were charged it was the custom to give the prisoners who worked liberal supplies of meat, but lately rice has been substituted. The Wabash Railroad Co. has contracted for the purchase of the Marietta, Columbus & Cleveland railroad, running from Marietta, O., to Palos, O., at a figure approximating $400,000. The road will be a part of the Gould system and will require but a short branch to be built to connect with recent purchases in West Virginia and their seaboard line. This will give the Wabash system valuable connections and large coal areas. A temporary injunction has been secured by a resident of Scranton, Pa., restraining his daughter from marrying a clerk in a dry goods store. The father declares the girl is not yet 21 years old and that he will not give his consent to the proposed marriage. The license already had been taken out when the injunction was served. A severe cyclone swept over Catania, a city on the east coast of Sicily. Catania is flooded with many houses were damaged. The railroads suffered seriously. The cyclone also wrought havoc at Modica, a town of Sicily, where several persons were killed. As a result of a riotous diversion by students of the University of California, one of their number, Winfield Reed, of Santa Barbara, Cal., is in jail on a charge of felony and others are likely to be incarcerated. During a big rally to the football team about 500 students took possession of a train, put out the lights, turned on the hand brakes and demolished the entire furnishings. Baldwin & Leveridge's department store at Marshall, Minn., has been burned. Several firemen were injured by an explosion and falling walls. The loss to the firm and to tenants of the building is $100,000. The steamer Pennsylvania, from New York, has landed the crew of the Norwegian bark Bothnia at Plymouth, England. The crew of the Bothnia were rescued in an exhausted condition, after having worked at the pumps for 17 days and nights. The bark was on the verge of sinking when the Pennsylvania sighted her. A strike of 1,000 glass bevelers has been ordered at New York City to enforce demands for the nine-hour work-day and a new scale of wages, ranging from $12 to $18 a week. The strike affects 25 factories. One hundred and twenty houses out of 129, comprising the village of Vosnik, Russian Poland, have been burned to the ground. The fire was caused by children playing with fire. Two children perished in the flames. "Genuine black diamond stickpins' have been placed on sale in Chicago at 15 cents each. The "black diamonds" are lumps of antracite coal fastened to gold washed pins, and they find a ready sale on the streets and in some of the stores. W. H. Truesdale, president of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad, who resides at Greenwich, Conn., is himself a sufferer from the coal famine. He is said to have offered a wholesaler in New York $1,500 cash for 100 tons, and was refused. The coal situation in New York City is to-day more serious than at any time since the strike of the anthracite miners began. Instead of 150,000 tons, usually in stock at this time of the year, there are but 2,000 tons of hard coal. In tenement districts the price is 75 cents a bushel, which is at the rate of $25 a ton. Dealers who were selling half tons have cut the allowance to customers to quarter tons. Coal and coal dust by the pail of 20 pounds is selling at 25 cents. A petition in bankruptcy has been filed by Walter Stanton, of New York City, to purge himself of liability for the indebtedness of Coffin & Stanton, bankers, of which he was junior partner. The firm failed in 1899. Stanton's showing is accounted in bankruptcy courts as establishing what is akin to a financial record. It shows liabilities of $4,156,942 in one column and $25 as an asset offset in the other. Not a ton of anthracite coal can be had at Rochester, N. Y., at any price. Sidewalk inspectors report that in the outlying districts residents are tearing up the sidewalks and using them for fuel. Altogether several miles of plank walks have been pried up with crowbars and carried off. In some sections canal bridges have been stripped of planking. An attempt was made the other night to wreck a Philadelphia & Reading express train at Brooke's Crossing, a short distance below Pottstown, Pa. A fish plate had been spiked to the rail in such a manner that the wheels would strike it when the train came along. The wheels of the engine did strike the obstruction, but the plate broke and the train was not derailed. At Missoula, Mont., William Johnson, a section foreman, met his death by being struck by the engine of a Northern Pacific passenger train while endeavoring to flag the train to save it from being wrecked. He discovered a broken rail but a few minutes before the passenger train was due. Johnson saved the train, but was hurled high into the air and into a ditch. According to the latest advices from Venezuela, Gen. Matos, the revolutionary leader, is gradually mobilizing his forces for an advance on Caracas. His army will consist of about 16,000 men. One of the most extensive fires in the history of Stockton, Cal., started in the agricultural pavilion. That structure with all its contents and two residence blocks were burned. The approximate loss is $500,000, less than half insured. At Mahanoy City, Pa., the home of Michael Weldon was dynamited at midnight. The front of the house was shattered and the windows of all the other houses in the block were broken. Weldon was not at home when the explosion occurred. His family escaped without injury. Weldon has been doing non-union work at Schuylkill colliery. At Connellsville, Pa., the entire force of yard clerks of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad went out on a strike for higher wages. The men have been receiving $50 per month and demand an increase of $5. The leader of the movement was discharged some days ago and the men went out when the company refused to reinstate him. After traversing a wilderness where white men have never before ventured, the United States geological survey has completed a preliminary examination of the country lying between Cook Inlet and the Tanana river in Alaska. Several Australian vessels have been lost during gales in the South sea. The schooner Sibyl, of Sidney, a recruiting vessel, left the Solomon Islands in April with 110 persons on board for Queensland and was never heard of again. The steamer Quirang, of Sydney, was lost off the Australian coast with all hands, numbering 30, never having been heard of after leaving Sydney. The monthly circulation statement shows that at the close of business September 30, 1902, the total circulation of national bank notes was $366,993,598, an increase for the year of 163,050, and an increase for the month of $5,710,907. Efforts are being made to form a $40,000,000 combination of manufacturers and sellers of patented railway supplies. The proposed company is to include the manufacturers of car roofs, springs, doors, brake shoes and beams. A combine is proposed of 40 concerns throughout the country engaged in the manufacture of toys, games and novelties. The combination is understood to involve a capitalization of from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000. While Engineer F. P. Hoffman was on a Lehigh Valley locomotive at Mt. Carmel, Pa., he was stoned by a mob because he was running a car full of supplies into the soldiers' encampment. The cab was almost totally wrecked. Hoffman escaped injury by lying down. Before the mob could jump onto the engine a detail of soldiers drove them away. Memoers of the Coal Teamsters' union, of Chicago, have decided not to haul coal to any public school building until the board of education induces the Anthracite-Bituminous Coal Co., which has the school contract for the North Side, to pay its men the union wage. The teamsters employed by the company are out on a strike. The Jewish World publishes an estimate of the number of Jews in Greater New York based on the number of Jewish burials as recorded by the board of health. These amounted in 1901 to 7,997, and as the death rate in the most congested Jewish districts is little over 15 per thousand this implies a population of 533,133 in the middle of 1901. Since that time no less than 39,225 have arrived at New York and staid there, while by natural increase of births over deaths another 21,400 would be added up to August 1 of this year, making a grand total of 584,788.
