Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, second-class matter. ALLING PRINTING TRADE'S COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND. SATURDAY. OCT. 11. 1902. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. That was a remarkable speech that Brig. Gen. S. A. Burt (retired), late colonel of the Twenty-fifth infantry, delivered early last month in Chicago, portions of which are given on our first page to-day. Booker T. Washington is "coming in" for some pretty "hot shot" these days, and from Afro-Americans of education, ability and standing. The tide is setting in slowly but surely, and Booker T. will do well to recognize the fact, do away with some of his questionable methods, talk less for the northern Afro-American and make a few other more or less important changes. 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, tor the appalling curse was a manifestation in every passing pountenance which expressly pointed him out to the gaze of the thoughtful observer, THOU ART THE MAN. But they were known, because of their hold 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 bold THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 11. 1902. The Afro-American republicans of North Carolina who were, recently, barred out of the "lily white" state republican convention, under the lead of ex-Congressmen Cheatham and O'Hara have decided to nominate a ticket of their own in opposition to that of the "lily white" republicans and will convene at Raleigh on next Thursday for that purpose. This they announced in a statement issued to the public recently, in which they very properly almost skinned alive Jeter Pritchard (white), the traitor whom they made a United States senator. Pritchard is chairman of the state republican committee of North Carolina and presided over the recent "lily white" state republican convention referred to. With such able men as Cheatham and O'Hara leading there is no doubt but that our people of that state will do the proper thing. May success attend their efforts! The Hon. John Hay, secretary of state, has seen fit to lodge with the POWERS, in the name of the United States, a solemn protest against the terrible persecutions by the government of Roumania, of the Jews residing within its territory. It is now in order for Roumania, as suggested by one of its leading residents, to file a solemn protest with the government at Washington and secure for it the co-operation of the POWERS, against the indiscriminate lynching of American citizens of color. Last year about 135 Afro-Americans were thus murdered, only 19 of whom were even charged with criminal assault. In the last ten years between two and three thousand have lost their lives by the lynch route. The Hon. John Hay, secretary of state of the United States of America, should first clean his own doorsill before calling attention to his neighbor's and asking the latter to clean his. President Roosevelt does not say that he disapproves the "lily white" republican movements in North Carolina and Alabama which he, McKinley, Hanna and Postmaster General Payne have fostered during recent years in the south, but referred to his "actions in all matters affecting the race as to his attitude" toward it and such discrimination as Bishops Walters and Clinton complained of when they called at the White House on Tuesday. The fact of the matter is, it would not take President Roosevelt and Senator Hanna 48 hours to put a stop to the discrimination against Afro-American republicans in North Carolina, Alabama and the entire south, by "lily white" republicans, if they really disapproved such doings and meant to deal honestly and honorably in this matter with our people throughout the country. Their selection and appointment to the best federal offices in that section of rank democrats and ranker "lily white" republicans do not strengthen this late-day and indirect claim of the president's. It is now in order for Senator Hanna to try to hoodwink the Afro-Americans of the country in a similar way. Paid $1,800 for Property.

Lima, O.—Abraham Shaffer, a highly respected citizen, a resident here 44 years, died September 30. His wife died about two years ago. He leaves four children, Anna Morin, Mellie Collins, Clifford and Bert Shaffer. The floral tributes were beautiful. There was a lyre given by the street force, a lovely design by the Aeolian club, a pure white wreath by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Moss, beautiful tea roses by Hattie Morin (niece) and a large spray of carnations by Mr. and Mrs. Turner Freeman. Also flowers from Mr. and Mrs. Ben Shaffer and Mrs. Jackson, of Cleveland, and others from kind neighbors. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. D. White at the A. M. E. church. Dec'ines a Pension. Knoxville, Tenn.—A peculiar story comes from Kingsport of an aged Afro-American by name of Thomas Hale. He was recently given a pension of $16 per month by the government, but has refused to accept it on the grounds that he is desirous of being independent and does not want to be dependent upon the government. THE PRESIDENT'S "CON." Roosevelt Says He Doesn't Approve of Southern Republicans Ostracizing Afro-Americans. Washington, D. C.—Bishop Alexander Walters, of New Jersey; Bishop G. W. Clinton, of North Carolina, and others of New York, representing the executive committee of the Afro-American council, called upon President Roosevelt Tuesday to ascertain his attitude toward the movement among certain republicans of the south to exclude Afro-Americans from participation in the councils of the party. They were especially solicitous of ascertaining whether the president indorsed the action of the republicans in North Carolina and Alabama with this end in view. They were presented to the president by Gen. James S. Clarkson, surveyor of the port of New York. Postmaster General Payne arrived at the White House while the conference was in progress and was present part of the time. After the interview Messrs. Walters and Clinton expressed themselves as highly gratified with what the president had said to them. They announced that the president had stated to them that his actions in all matters affecting the race was his answer as to his attitude toward the colored man; that in appointments the character, intelligence and the esteem in which the applicant was held in the community in which he lived would be the first consideration, and that no man would be excluded or appointed because of his color. That he heartily disapproved of the efforts of certain republicans in the south to exclude Afro-Americans from participation in politics and that it was unwise, so they reported the president as having stated, to those in authority in the movement. If the president was sincere, however, it would not take him and Senator Hanna forty-eight hours to stop the dirty work of North Carolina and Alabama republicans, whose leaders are federal officeholders. THEY DEMAND THEIR RIGHTS. Convention Called at Raleigh to Protest Against Discrimination—To Oppose "I republican" Ticket. Raleigh, N. C.—A convention of Afro-Americans "who are republicans under all circumstances when their rights and interests are protected," and who "have ever striven to uphold the national republican party," will be held in Raleigh on October 16 to protest against the organization of the party in the state on "lily white" lines, and to nominate a ticket in opposition to that of the "lily-white" republicans. The call for the convention is signed by a number of well-known men, including former Congressmen Cheatham and O'Hara. They complain that "our most substantial colored citizens were denied a voice in a republican convention to which they had been duly elected, and were ordered from the floor even as spectators." Senator Pritchard is denounced as an "ingrate to use Afro-Americans as a stepping-stone to prominence, and then by a shameful surrender accepted as final an unjust qualification to suffrage from the men that made him." The manhood of colored republicans generally has been insulted, and they conclude with an appeal to Afro-Americans to stand for the dignity of the race, saving: "Senator Pritchard has told the president of the United States that there are 40,000 white republicans in North Carolina. We believe, with the populists added, it will not reach this figure, but it can readily be seen that he was too shrewd to nominate one white republican on the state ticket, knowing the Negroes would not support it, and thereby explode this falsity of 40,000 white republicans in North Carolina."

Bruce Grits "White Remarks." White is the magic word that produces a feeling of ecstasy among the general run of Negroes. They talk and dream of a white Jesus, white angels, and a heaven full of nice white people, some of whom have reluctantly migrated to that or some other region from white cemeteries where no Negroes are buried, and from white churches in which Negroes are not permitted to worship or to partake of the body and blood of our Redeemer. In order to successfully improve the morals of the Negro, about which we are hearing so much, we must first improve those of the white man—the Negro's preceptor in immorality. The first rapist was white. Any race can become powerful and potential when it constantly draws upon other races to sing its praises and contrioute to its greatness. That is just what is going on in this country to-day. The great composite white race, miscalled the "Anglo-Saxon," has laid all other races under tribute to it, including the Negro. Rev. Proud After Booker T. Cincinnati, O.—Rev. H. D. Proud, pastor of Union Baptist church, who returned recently from a trip through the south, and who was in Birmingham, Ala., at the time of the recent church catastrophe there, when many were trampled to death in a panic, preached a sermon Sunday morning week in which he declared Booker T. Washington to be no friend of our people. He denounced the attempt to take the colored man out of politics. The "Jim Crow" car was vigorously denounced for its iniquity. "The south is no place for our people," he concluded, "it is such men as Booker T. Washington who are making it hard for them." 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. Gatewood and Grimes, Attention!

Some of the Latest Things in Feminine Apparel for the Fall Sleeves are getting larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, reports the Chicago Daily News. Short skirts are surely growing in popularity. Linings separate from the skirt have proved unmanageable with long skirts and have added a little momentum to the movement for short skirts. For young girls' evening dresses white will be used this winter. The materials will be in most cases white net, tulle or soft silk. The latter materials may be accordion-plaited and have insertions of lace. The bodices will be made laced in the back and will have transparent sleeves. Silver tissue covered with tulle makes a pretty background for fine laces. The smartest of the fall boas will be of soft treble box-plaited tulle. They will be very wide, extending to the point of the shoulder, and will have loops and ends of velvet ribbon. Elderly women will wear collar-shaped ruffles, with rosettes on the front and cascading frills. Pelerine ruffles of black chantilly, mingled with beautiful embroidery, are the smartest of fall collarrettes. White serge and white cloth are to be in great vogue during the autumn. The favorite trimming is white wool guipure lace and black velvet ribbon. Sometimes a touch of color will be added by a pompadour vest and sash. But a white gown richly embroidered in white will have a distinction all its own. It is a wonder that the wearing of handsome white wool is not always the mode with exclusive women, since by the nature of the case it is less easily copied by the multitude. A novelty in trimming is white lace with part of the design hand-painted in black. This is more especially for evening gowns—inset, of course, like all laces in these days—but the effect is indescribable. It seems to be one of the season's fancies also to use black maltese lace as a trimming for white Irish lace—as if lace could need any decoration—but it seems to this season, as one handsome trimming is laid over another to get special effects and add richness to the gown.

Kincardine, Ont., Oct. 9.—The schooner Anna Maria, of Alpina, Mich., loaded with coal, was wrecked here Tuesday night. Capt. Gordon and three of the crew, with Mr. Ferguson, of a rescue party, were frowned. The lost vessel was built in 1864 and measured 256 feet. She was owned by George S. Eastman, of Milwaukee, and was valued at $5,000. It was about 10 o'clock Tuesday night when noises began which were heard for a long time before it was ascertained that they were the cries of sailors in distress. A large schooner was then noticed a few hundred yards from the shore south of the south pier, apparently aground and with heavy seas breaking over her. A rescue party was at once formed and with much difficulty succeeded in reaching the boat which proved to be the schooner Ann Maria, of Alpena, bound for this port from Cleveland, in command of Capt. Alex Gordon, with a load of coal. The rescuers got the crew off and were about to start for the shore when a huge wave swept over the schooner and upset the life boat, throwing the occupants into the water. Two sailors and three townsmen succeeded in regaining the schooner. Five were lost. THIRTY BODIES. They Are Found in a Cold Storage Plant Connected With an Ice Cream Factory. Louisville, Ky., Oct. 9.—Thirty dead bodies were found last night in a cold storage plant in the rear of an ice cream factory on Eighth street. The same pipes which were used in congealing the cream for table use were connected with a small plant in a shed in the rear where they kept the bodies cool. The heads of the several colleges interested in the establishment asserted last night that the bodies were obtained legitimately from the penitentiaries, insane asylums and other institutions of the state of Kentucky. The building is a small one and is provided with numerous thermometers for maintaining the proper temperature. The bodies were found in boxes and most of them were in a good state of preservation. The establishment is maintained by several Louisville medical colleges. The head of these institutions say they are given the bodies by the state with the understanding that they are to be held 30 days for identification. In order to assist in the identification, the cold storage plant was established and an arrangement made with the ice cream plant to furnish the cooling air. Sons of Veterans. Washington, Oct. 9. At yesterday's session of the commandery in chief of the Sons of Veterans, the "Banner" was continued as the official organ of the order, with the provision that hereafter the policy of the paper will be in large measure dictaed from national headquarters. The annual report of Memorial university, located at Mason City, In., whose foundation was inspired by the Order of Sons of Veterans, showed that institution to be in a healthy condition and growing. The per capita tax of the order was continued at 36 cents per member per year. Col. Frank Martin, of Indianapolis, has no opposition for commander-in-chief. Raphael Tobias, of New York, and E. M. Wilson, of San Francisco, are candidates for senior vice commander, while James B. Adams, of New Jersey, seems to be leading for junior vice commander. The election of officers will take place to-day. Saratoga, San Francisco and Atlantic City are contesting for the honor of the next convention. A Disastrous Wreck Washington, Pa., Oct. 9.—One of the most destructive wrecks in the history of the Washington branch of the Pan Handle railroad occurred last night at Van Emens station, two miles east of Cannonsburg. The wreck resulted in five lives being blotted out and a number injured, one so badly that he may die. The killed were all foreigners and their names could not be ascertained. The bodies were horribly mangled and they will be hard to identify. The wreck occurred at a siding. An east-bound coal train sidewiped a gravel train at the opening of the switch. The engine of the coal train was turned over and completely wrecked. The engine of the gravel train was turned completely around and after the collision was facing directly east. Gov. Bliss Injured. Washington, Oct. 9.—Gov. A. T. Bliss, of Michigan, was thrown from his horse near Washington Circle yesterday during the G. A. R. parade and suffered several bruises about the body. His injuries are not regarded as serious. The governor rode with his old regiment in the Michigan division. The horse became frightened and made a bolt, throwing the governor to the pavement. Four Hurt in Wreck Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 9.—A westbound Rock Island passenger train, while running at the rate of 60 miles an hour last night, collided with a Hannibal & St. Joseph switch engine one mile east of this city, as a result of which four trainmen were hurt. The passengers were shaken up and both engines were demolished. Shot Wife and Killed Himself Shot Wife and Killed Himself. Pasadena, Cal., Oct. 9. James D. Treadwell, a young man who left Pittsburg, Pa., August 25, and who had been with his wife in this city for two weeks, shot and slightly wounded his wife yesterday afternoon and then shot and killed himself. The tragedy took place at Rubio Canyon. Suicided. St. Paul, Oct. 9.—L. C. Hayes, supposed to be a government agent in Montana, committed suicide here by shooting yesterday.

He asks no questions, don't ask you to write the name for him. Don't try to pump you in any way, but tells you right off. He is thoroughly endorsed by leading Spiritualists everywhere; received from them a gold medal and special license to practice his wonderful powers; credentials no one else can show; can give thousands of references to both white and colored patrons. Twenty-five years' practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell you what business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to body marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all your doings. In short what is best to do. What activities help and satisfaction or no pay. Call and see. You will find it lucky. You consult this refined Christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients, not knowing it. Thousands through him are now. RICH, HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL in all their undertakings while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against poverty and adversity. Through his perfect knowledge of chemistry he can impart to you a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. His aid and advice have often been solicited, the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriage and all your wishes. In love affairs he never fails. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there are a class of men and women who claim powers they do not possess. They have neither gifts, credentials, nor references. Surely the colored people are not so wanting in sense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR. SHEA refers to the Hon.

"SOUTH PLANFIELD, Aug, 15, 1891.—This is to certify that my husband had gone away and been absent two years. I mourned for him, night and day. I gave him up as dead. Hearing of the wonderful things DR. SHEA was doing, I resolved to consult him. He told me my husband was alive and well and where he was; he told me he would come home and when. To my joy all of it came true. He is home now, come back like one from the dead. I also wish to say that this month I lost the sum of $250. I am a poor woman and I have lost my money. SHEA and he told me I would find my money and to my intense joy I found it as he told me. I thank God there is a man in our oldest that can help people and tell them what to do. Sincerely, MRS. MARY MILLER, South Plainfield, N. J." A Sensation in Brooklyn-A Minister's Statement. "I wish to state that one of my parishoners was sick and in trouble for a long time, Mrs. Brown, 37 Gay street. No one seemed to understand her case. She had several doctors, but none of them seemed to know what was the matter. None could do her any good. It was my duty as her pastor to call and see her. Hearing of the wonderful work being done by DR. SHEA, the last few years, I thought I would call to see him myself. I found him a kind, sympathetic gentleman. He gave me a wonderful test of his powers; told me to send him to the hospital, and he called by her daughter. He told me at once what was the matter, and in a short time cured her sound and well. Her family had seemingly been under a cloud. Now, all is changed. All are well and prosperous. I can truly and heartily recommend DR. SHEA to all those in sickness or distress of any kind. Rev. WILLIAM JOHNSON, Pastor of Lebanon Church, Brooklyn." DR. ELLAIRSON, DR. SHEA'S SUCCESS SHOW THOUSANDS SUCH AS THE ABOVE. DR. ELLARSON has been carefully educated in the medical schools. DR.

The editor of The Gazette has received an invitation to attend the marriage of Miss Minnie Belle Jones to Charles A. Mosee Wednesday evening, October 22, at 217 Mound street, Dayton. They will be "at home" after November 1 at 219 Mound street, that city. While in this city about a year ago the bride visited her aunt, Mrs. Charles Sydes, of Maple street, and made many friends. Wm. Redmond, 505 Broadway, was shot twice in the abdomen at 11:30 p.m. Sunday, his assailant being an unknown white man. Redmond was taken to the Huron street hospital in Black & Wright's ambulance. He will recover. Redmond and his brother, Daniel, heard a white woman disputing with two men near Turk's pool room, 555 Broadway. Going to investigate, one of the men resented their interference and shot Redmond. After the shooting, the men ran away, and have not yet been apprehended. Redmond was shot by a girl three months ago, but did not prosecute her. With the assistance of a few kegs of beer, one of which was "tapped" above a saloon on Central avenue, opposite Laurel street, the "great mass meeting of colored citizens" held at Woodliff hall on Monday evening by the Central Republican club (called a "league"), of which Sam Moore and John Fulton seem to be leading spirits, attracted about a hundred men and boys. It was not a representative gathering by any means. Indeed, it could not be for several reasons, least of which is that manly and intelligent Afro-Americans are not "toiled" anywhere by a glass or more of beer or liquor. Those who drank the beer, above the saloon mentioned above, marched in a body to the hall. Wonder who collected the funds to buy the beer, and how much money they got? Blanche Moulton (white), keeper of a notorious tenderloin dive, will not be tried for killing her husband, Chas. Powell. After an investigation by the grand jury of the charges against her, "no true bill" was returned a week ago Saturday. The Moulton woman shot Powell while in her rooms one Sunday morning last May. She gave herself up to the police, saying she mistook Powell for a burglar and shot him. Later she said she and Powell quarreled, and claimed that, in self-defense, she had killed him. She was bound over to the grand jury on a second degree murder charge. The fact that the grand jury has discharged her WAS KEPT SECRET. When asked about the case Wednesday County Prosecutor Keeler said: "The grand jury voted, unanimously, to return no bill against Blanche Moulton. The jurors were convinced that she had shot Powell in self defense." This is a damnable outrage upon law and order and common decency, to say nothing about anybody or anything else. Here is a notoriously low woman who kills a man "in cold blood" and because the latter was a "Negro," is allowed to go "scott free," not even being tried for the crime she confessed committing. There is a fuller explanation due from the county prosecutor. Ruthven was treated differently. But he was given the same quarter that the poor murdered soul Powell's interests have been given. Where are all Powell's Masonic, Odd Fellow and Knights of Pythia BROTHERS that they allow such action without even a protest? From the grave their murdered brother's body cries out aloud against the Moulton decree and for JUSTICE! Will they continue to ignore, close their ears and eyes? 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 SUN 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! A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY! The old reliable Gazette desires an energetic and honest agent, and a good correspondent, in every city and town in Ohio and adjoining states having a number of Afro-American residents.

Send us the name of any good person or persons in any of the cities named above or others, to whom we can write relative to the matter. Cure for Small-Pox. I herewith append a recipe 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. What Is the Difference Between white and black fiends? Answer: White fiends "are insane;" black fiends are "burly black brutes." CRIME COMMITTED IN HENRICO COUNTY VA., JULY 19, 1902. Richmond, Va.—Charles Timberiake (white), criminally assaulted Mrs. Keziah Banks (colored) Saturday, July 19, 1902. Witnesses, both white and colored, who caught him in the act, testified to his guilt and he made no denial himself. The law provides that a person guilty of such an offense shall be hanged by the neck until dead. JURY'S VERDICT, RENDERED WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1902. "We, the jury, find the accused not guilty, as charged in the indictment, believing he was insane at the time the act was committed. "E. W. CHRISTIAN, Foreman." The "Wizzard" Rebuked. At the recent Baptist convention held in mirmingham, Ala., Booker T. Washington delivered an address and among other things said that he would advise our people to think less of the hereafter and prepare to live; that they thought too much of dying and not enough of living. He hadn't much more than gotten these words out of his mouth before 110 souls were smothered into eternity. The Bee has always said that Booker T. Washington is wrong in his theory and methods. His doctrines are wrong and indeed he is wrong. The Bee may not receive any credit for pointing out the danger into which Mr. Washington has been and is leading our people, but the time will come when the truth is bound to rise.—Washington (D. C.)

But London still provides us with some of our more elaborate toilette, and there is one costumer in New York who makes it a point to import a number of London models each season. In speaking of this fact to him a few days ago, he said he found it paid him for two reasons. First, because London designers really produced some excellent examples of fashionable modes which were in no way copies of those from Paris. Second, because there were a certain percentage of Americans who courted the favor of the English nobility, and with this element of our society folk English designed gowns were popular. Among the models which he is showing this fall are three or four taken from the gowns of Miss Ellis Jeffreys and Miss Marie Tempest, who are just now the favorites of the English theater-going public, winning a remarkable success in "The Marriage of Kitty." ATTRACTIVE NOVELTY There are wraps in every form and of every kind. From kimona cleaks to shoulder-capes the list is complete, including every kind, style and length it is possible to imagine, and making the little matter of choice a problem indeed. But the woman who knows her own style and keeps to the shape next most becoming to her can make no mistake. In many kinds of material, and especially white cloth and cloth of light tints, the three-quarter coat is a leading style and one which will no doubt become very popular both for day and evening wear. It is a most useful garment, since it can be worn with any gown, and in white cloth decorated with embroidery, pendant ornaments down the front and a deep cape collar of heavy lace, it is perfection as an evening wrap.

Statistics of University of Chicago Show That the Men Outnumbered the Women. In connection with the constant agitation at the University of Chicago in regard to "segregation," interest attaches to the quarterly report of Dean Alexander Smith, of the junior colleges on the work of the summer term. Preceding it, Dr. Harper made a brief statement of the present importance of summer work. "It used to be," said President Harper, "that it was considered absurd for the university to attempt to carry on work in summer. The fact that this summer 300 universities and colleges have offered summer courses proves that there is no lack of students. The university has had a large attendance this year, in spite of the great efforts at summer work carried on elsewhere, especially in the south." Although Dean Smith's report covers only the junior colleges, some of its statements are significant. The total attendance of the university this summer is approximately 1,750, of which number 925 are men and 825 are women. In the junior colleges there were 176 classified students, 101 men and 75 women. Last year there were 186 junior college students, 90 men and 96 women. Chicago & Alton Inaugurate Novelty Between Chicago and Kansas City A grill room chair car has been introduced into service by the Chicago & Alton between Chicago and Kansas City. In the fore part of the car is a small kitchen connected with a little room 10 by 8 feet. The grill room is fitted after the style of a small American dining-room. Other rooms will be finished after the English and German styles. The grill rooms of the cars put in service are finished throughout in mahogany, with small, well-stocked and ornamented sideboard and round table at which six people can be seated. The kitchen is isolated and the diners are in close touch at all times with the steward-cook. The decorations are elaborate. The tableware, including the china, is made to correspond with the general decoration, whether American, English or German, as the case may be. This innovation adds to the enjoyment of traveling, as a meal consisting of anything from a sandwich to a champagne supper can be ordered at any hour of the day or evening. Story of Yale Man.

SHOWING THE WAY. Most of our readers know all about the aches and pains of a bad back; very few people are free from sick kidneys, as the kidneys are the most overworked organs of the body and "go wrong" at times no matter how well the general health may be. The trouble is so few understand the indications of kidney trouble. You are nervous, tired out and weary, have stitches, twinges and twitches of backache pains, but lay it to other causes; finally the annoyance and suffering attendant with urinary disorders, retention of the urine, too frequent urination, makes you realize the seriousness of it. At any stage you should take a remedy that will not only relieve but cure you. Read the following and profit by the lesson it teaches: C. J. McMurray, a resident of Freeport, ill., address 47 Iroquois St., says: "I have greater faith in Doan's Kidney Pills to-day than I had in the fall of 1897 when I first took that remedy and it cured me of an acute pain across the back and imperfect action of the kidneys. Since I made a public statement of these facts and recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to my friends and acquaintances, thoroughly believing as I did both from observation and experience that they would do just as they were represented to do. I am still pleased to reendorse my statement given to the public shortly after I first began to use the remedy." A FREE TRIAL of this great Kidney medicine which cured Mr. McMurray, will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

One of the two pictured is of white crepe de chine with ivory-tinted guipure lace deftly manipulated into boilero form on the tucked and pouched bodice and threaded through with a scarf of filmy black lace, which is drawn into a long-ended bow in front. The sleeves, too, can boast of the decorative presence of other scarves and bows of black lace, and at the back of the bodice the jaunty little coat tails show the effective contrast of black lace medallions applique on the white lace, while above them cabochon centers of jet gleam out from the flower-like rosettes of white satin, finishing off the waistband. The skirt, whose tucks follow faithfully the graceful curves of the figure, has an applique of guipure in a design of clusters of grapes to trim the deep-tucked flounce. Soft white chiffon and lovely yellowish lace combine to produce the altogether novel effect in another which you can study in the illustration, noting how cunningly the lace is introduced to form a curved corselet on the bodice, and then continued as a panel on the front of the skirt, and at the back to sweep out into long sash ends, over the deeply vandyked points of the plisse chiffon with their applique edging of lace.

A cage collar of embroidery and lace is the finish. Pretty for young women are the shorter loose coats ending at the hip line, and made of silk, cloth and velvet. Double and triple collars are a feature of the coats, both on long and short, and pipings of silk are sometimes the finish. As for long coats, their name is legion, since there is no limit to the variety. They are made loose like the shorter ones, with plaits and abundant fullness, or half fitted to the figure, if you like. Others seem to have been cut circular in shape and set into a yoke at the shoulder line. In dark cloths for traveling use these coats are something on the order of a Newmarket, slashed up high at the back and sides to give opportunity for holding up the gown underneath. The finish is a stitched band, triple collars and a cord and tassel ornamentation at the front.

New Orleans, La., Oct. 9.—The attempt yesterday morning of the New Orleans Railway Co. to start cars on its lines, which have been completely tied up for 11 days, precipitated a long impending conflict between the strikers and those who wanted to fill their places. Although a hundred shots were fired, nobody was killed. Among those seriously injured were several policemen and strike breakers. One car started from the Canal street barn yesterday morning with ten Chicago strike breakers and ten policemen aboard. Two blocks from the barn, strikers pulled up the wooden crossings and made of them a barricade on the track. The car stopped and Robert D. Koonz, one of the non-union men, got off to remove the obstructions. He succeeded, though set upon by the crowd. The strikers then made a rush for the car and a lively fight ensued. There was a regular fusilade, fully a hundred shots being exchanged by the men and police on the car and the strikers. At the first volley from the car, the strikers ran and a stampede followed. Then the police arrested the non-union men for carrying concealed weapons. Three non-union men were put in a patrol wagon and on the way to the station the wagon was overturned and all the occupants were more or less injured. Officer Fordyce had several ribs broken and got a scalp wound. Gov. Heard was reached during the afternoon, and after a telephonic communication with Mayor Capdevielle, ordered the commander of the First military district, to report to the mayor, and adequate protection will be afforded the company in its efforts to run cars. All the arrested strikers were charged with carrying concealed weapons, and Christensen, Jones and Jensen, the Chicago strike breakers, were charged with inciting a riot. TROUBLE FOR COAL TRUST. A Pennsylvanian Seeks to Have the Anthracite Combine Declared Illegal Philadelphia, Oct. 8.—Counsel for Frank H. Thompson, a citizen of this commonwealth, will file in the United States circuit court a bill in equity against the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Co., the Central Railroad of New Jersey, the Lehigh Valley railroad, the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad and the New York, Ontario & Western Railroad Co. The bill charges these companies with having formed an illegal combination for the purpose of fixing the price of coal and controlling the coal market, and asks the court to declare such combination illegal and to restrain and prohibit the respondents from meeting together for the purpose of fixing the rate at which coal shall be sold. Application will also be made in behalf of Mr. Thompson to the attorney general of the state, for a revocation of the charter of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Co. for alleged violation of the state constitution. The bill in equity avers that the companies mentioned formed a combination under which the respondents were not to compete with each other; and which regulated the price to be charged for coal at tidewater. It is charged that the respondents refuse to operate their mines, greatly to the loss of the complainant and in violation of the duties which the respondents owe to the public. OIL FIELDS ABLAZE. Great Fire Near Beaumont, Texas—Property Loss is Heavy. Beaumont, Tex., Oct. 8.—Another great fire, more disastrous than the conflagration of a few weeks ago, swept over the oil fields here last night, causing a loss of 12 or more lives and entailing a property loss of several hundred thousand dollars. The fire was discovered shortly before 11 o'clock and with remarkable rapidity it spread to the many derricks in the Hogg-Swayne tract. The encroachment of the flames was so ripid that many people were caught in the fiery path. The entire Hogg-Swayne tract, comprising one of the largest sections in the oil fields, in all probability, will be burned. Forty or more of the large derricks have been destroyed by the flames. Beaumont, Tex., Oct. 9.—Reports received yesterday estimate the loss by Tuesday night's fire in the oil fields from $100,000 to $250,000. Rumors of loss of life have proved untrue, although one man was probably fatally burned while working at the top of a derrick. Attacked by Ladrones. Manila, Oct. 8.-Gen. Jesse M. Lee telegraphs from Tacloban, island of Leyte, that ladrones have twice attacked the town of Carigara, province of Leyte, where they killed a number of native constabulary and levied contributions. The population of Carigara wendrew to the mountains. Voted Aid to Strikers: London, Oct. 8.—The Miners' Federation of Great Britain, in session at Southport yesterday, voted $5,000 for the relief of the striking American miners and adopted a resolution in favor of the executive board and the different districts making further donations. They Congratulate Gov. Stone. Detroit, Mich., Oct. 8. The Detroit Metal Trades and Founders' association, an organization representing 35 manufacturers of this city, has sent to Gov. Stone, of Pennsylvania, a telegram congratulating him on calling out all the national guard of the state. The telegram says: "No clear thinking man questions the right of any set of men to organize for any lawful purpose, but it is intolerable and will undermine the whole structure upon which the United States of America was founded and now exists, if any men be denied the right to work." Earned $101,000,000 in Nine Months. New York, Oct. 8.—The directors of the United States Steel Corporation on Tuesday issued a statement of net earnings for the nine months ending September 30. Earnings for July, August and September, with the last month estimated, aggregate $36,764.643; total net earnings deducting each month's expenses for ordinary repairs, rentals and maintenance of plant, also interest on bonds and fixed charges of the subsidiary companies, aggregate $101,142.158.

FACTS ABOUT CUBA. Only Three Per Cent. of Area of Island and Only Ten Per Cent. of Farms Under Cultivation. From a recent bulletin issued by the United States geological survey, entitled, "A Gazetteer of Cuba," compiled by Henry Gannett, geographer, the following suggestive facts regarding the island are taken: With an acreage of 44,000 square miles and a population in 1899 of 1,572,797, only 3 per cent. of the area of the island and only 10 per cent. of the area in farms was under cultivation. The most highly cultivated portions of the island were in Manantzas and Havanna provinces, which lie adjoining in its western part, while in Puerto Principe, the large central province, was comparatively slight and the land was used mostly for cattle ranches. The crops, in the order of areas cultivated, were; first, sugar cane, occupying somewhat less than half of the cultivated area; next, sweet potatoes, occupying 11 per cent. of the area; tobacco, 9 per cent. and bananas a trifle less than 9 per cent. Tobacco and sugar were grown in all the provinces. In 1899 there were in Cuba 207 sugar mills, with a daily production of 61,467 bags. Light is thrown on the depopulating effect of war in Cuba by the comparison of the census of 1899 with that of 1877. In the latter year it was 1,631,687, or 59,000 more than 12 years later, in 1899. Allowing for the probable increase in the population between 1887 and 1895, the year in which the insurrection broke out, the loss of life, as indicated by the two censuses, may be estimated at nearly 200,000, a loss to be attributed to the war and the accompanying reconcentration. The bulletin is accompanied by maps and charts, and contains nearly 4,000 geographic names. MAY SEND MAILS BY WIRE. Italy Investigates a New System for Electric Transmission at a High Speed. The Italian Minister of posts and telegraphs, Sig. Galimberti, and the leading officials of his department have examined a plan submitted by an engineer named Piscicelli for the establishment of a system of electrical delivery of the mails, by which letters are to be transmitted in aluminum boxes along overhead wires at the rate of 248 miles an hour. A commission has been appointed to report upon this system before instituting experiments between Rome and Naples. Between these two points the inventor claims that he can deliver letters in 25 minutes, while the time to send mail from Rome to Paris by this system, Sig. Piscicelli says, could be reduced to five hours. Money Dug Up: Two young men who gave their names to a local constable at Toledo, O., as George R. Miller, of Philadelphia, and Henry Armstrong, of New York, dug up a package containing a little over $11,000 near Alexis, a small railway crossing town north of here. The money is believed to be a portion of large sums taken in a couple of recent bank robberies. The men declined to make a statement, only saying to inquirers that it was treasure buried by an old miser some years ago. The money looked fresh and crisp, however. Child Insurance Forbidden.

PE-RU-NA IS A HOUSEHOLD SAFEGUARD. No Family Should Be Without It. PERUNA is a great family medicine. The women praise it as well as the men; it is just the thing for the many little catarrhal ailments of childhood. The following testimonials from thankful men and women tell in direct, sincere language what their success has been in the use of Peruna in their families: Louis J. Scherrinsky, 103 Locust street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes: "I will tell you briefly what Peruna has done for me. I took a severe cold which gave me a hard cough. All doctors' medicines failed to cure it. I took one bottle of Peruna and was well. "Then my two children had bad coughs accompanied by gagging. My wife had stomach trouble for years. She took Peruna and now she is well. "I cannot express my thanks in words, but I recommend your remedy at every opportunity, for I can conscientiously say that there is no medicine like Peruna. Nearly everyone in this town knew about the sickness of myself and family, and they have seen with astonishment what Peruna has done for us. Many followed our example, and the result was health. Thanking you heartily, I am."—L. J. Scherrinsky. Mrs. Nannie Wallace, Tulare, Cal., President of the Western Baptist Missionary Society, writes: "I consider Peruna an indispensable article in my medicine chest. It is twenty medicines in one, and has so far cured every sickness that has been in my home for five years. I consider it of special value to weakly women, as it builds up the general health, drives out disease and keeps you in the best of health."—Mrs. Nannie Wallace. Peruna protects the family against coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, catarrh of the stomach, liver and kidneys. It is just as sure to cure a case of catarrh of the bowels as it is a case of catarrh of the head. A Fatal Mistake. She was from Philadelphia, and he was from New York.

I have used it in my family and they all join me in recommending it as an excellent remedy." Very respectfully, George H. White Peruna is an internal, scientific, systematic remedy for catarrh. It is no palliative or temporary remedy; it is thorough in its work, and in cleansing the diseased mucous membranes cures the catarrh. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
