2 THE GAZETTE. One Year. 81 50 six Months. 1 00 Three Months. 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post office money order or registered letter. Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, in second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor THE GAKETTE, Wick Block, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, { 1894 to 1896. { 1896 to 1898. { 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, OCT. 25, 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. Ohio will "go" republican this fall, but Hanna's home county (this—Cuyahoga) and a republican one, too, will "go" democratic, largely as a result of his blunders and mistakes. The southern Afro-American is slowly but surely FIRING back when attacked by the mob. The most hopeful sign we can possibly have. May the number increase more rapidly. President Roosevelt recently appointed Henry L. West (white) a member of the board of commissioners of the District of Columbia, to succeed the late John W. Ross (white). Mr. West has been connected with the obnoxious Washington Daily Post for the last 20 years. He was born in Georgetown, Md., 45 years ago. West, as a writer, has been one of the bitterest enemies the race has had, according to our Washington, D. C., papers, and was appointed in spite of the protests of our people at the nation's capital. President Roosevelt knows that the Afro-Americans of that city are entitled, because of their number, wealth and intelligence, to the appointment of at least one of the three district commissioners, and yet he not only ignores their protest against West's appointment and request for recognition, but insults them with the appointment of a bitter enemy. Our people throughout the country should remember such things and act when the time arrives. EMIGRATION NOT THE THING. As wretched as conditions are in this country, yet the emigration of Afro-Americans from the United States to Liberia does not seem to be the thing best needed to be done. The Liberian Colonization society of Birmingham, Ala., has arranged for sending a colony to Liberia from Savannah on January 20 next. Rt. Rev. H. M. Turner, senior bishop of the A.M. E. church, remains loyal to the principle of his contention and in a letter to the society insists that emigration is our only alternative. But we are here, and here the masses of our people will remain for the next hundred years to come. Our duty then is to battle on for the right and elevation and make the best of the conditions which are before us. Afro-Americans are too busy making battle for their cause and will concentrate their energies, their means and all their moral forces for the uplifting of their people. We have advanced too far in the arts of government and civilization to now relinquish the effort we are making for the maintenance of our birthright freedom. For some unknown reason our foreparents have been transplanted to these shores. We have shared in the long struggle of human slavery, through trials and hardships to the present period of personal freedom. By ourselves and the help of Almighty God, we are brought to face our present hard condition. We are cast down and overwhelmed by great opposition and embarassments. But we believe in God and an overruling Providence whose mysterious ways are baffling to the comprehension of finite beings. We have the example of other struggling races who attained an equal place under a common government. None have attained against such odds what Afro-Americans have accomplished for themselves. In education, learning and wealth we stand as the marvel of the world. In every southern state of this Union Afro-Americans are possessing the lands. Their landed estates are being annually recorded as an evidence of their growing strength and their material worth to the nation. Wealth and education are the mighty factors of the race and a means of grace to be utilized in bettering the condition of the oppressed of our land. We can hardly believe that the time has come for Afro-Americans to emigrate. A mightier task is before us; we are passing through the crucible of trials and conflict, but like others who have triumphed in the end, we must labor to overcome and we must battle on and conquer hardships or we perish from the earth. TO THE RESCUE. If Afro-Americans mean to be in earnest, if they mean to be alive in regard to the immense duty which now confronts them, they will lose no opportunity to strike well directed blows against a deceitful foe, which seeks to strip them of their political strength wherever it is possible to do so. The enemy is found in our own ranks and it behooves us to organize against him and to bring THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1902. Decided Against Uncle Sam. Washington, Oct. 23.—An intimation has been received here that King Oscar, of Sweden, who is acting as the arbitrator of the issues between the United States, Germany and Great Britain growing out of the Samoan rebellion of 1899, has decided that the facts presented to him in the briefs of counsel, which have been pending for nearly a year, warrant him in proceeding to assess the damages sustained by foreign residents of Samoa as a result of the landing of a combined force of American and British sailors and marines, and the destruction of property incident to the ensuing fight with the rebels. The First and Only Rally: The First and Only Rally. Cincinnati, Oct. 23.—The first and only republican rally in this city this year was addressed last night by Senators Beveridge, Foraker and Hanna. The meeting was preceded by a parade of the Blaine, Stamina, Fleischmann and other republican clubs. Music Hall, with a seating capacity of more than 5,000, had all its standing room taken, with crowds about the doors. Annapolis, Md., Oct. 23.—In a hard fought contest here yesterday the naval cadets' football eleven defeated the University of Pennsylvania by a score of 10 to 6.

"Self-preservation is the first law of nature," but simply because the young man was an Afro-American, he was not given this consideration, and Wm. Johnson, principal, who struck young Myers, was exonerated. It is the duty of all voters to remember this and see that this board gets no more office-holding. Messrs. Stone and Fox were the only members of the board that contended for fairness. In order to be seen in their unfairness to the "Negro," two teachers were allowed to vote, and it was nothing less than a school board meeting, where the teachers had no right whatever, but in order to keep justice from Myers, anything was right. Ex-Congressman Murray Fears Mob Violence. Sumter, S. C.—Hon.

Later his brother circulated a report that Folk was organizing a mob to lynch Murray. Afro-Americans were collected and armed to guard his house, and he sent a boy on a horse to the sheriff for help. The sheriff paid no attention to Murray's request, as Folk assured him that it was a "foolish" story. It would not have proved so "foolish" a story, however, had not the Murrays acted as they did—so promptly. Jackson-Freeman. Flushing, O.—Mr. and Mrs. E.

Twelve Men Lose Their Lives in a Chicago Fire. Flames Spread Rapidly—Men Jumped from Seventh Story of Burning Sugar Refinery and Were Dashed to Death — Fire Caused by Explosion. Chicago, Oct. 22.—By a fire which broke out shortly before midnight in the plant of the glucose sugar refinery, situated at Taylor street and the Chicago river, that factory was almost entirely destroyed, and it is said that 29 men lost their lives. The flames spread so rapidly that a man who was working on the third floor had barely time to escape with his life, and it is not thought by the employes of the concern or by the firemen that the men in the upper story could have avoided death. The plant of the refining company consisted of three buildings, the drying house, seven stories in height; the main refinery, 14 stories high, and another structure of four stories. The fire started in the drying house, being caused by an explosion. The flames spread with almost incredible rapidity, and by the time the first of the fire department had arrived the building was ablaze from foundation to roof. It was impossible for the firemen to make any effective fight against the flames, and in a short time all the walls were down. The fire was so hot that at one time it was feared that the Taylor street viaduct, across which access is had to the South Side, would be destroyed, but the firemen managed to save this after a hard struggle. They bent every effort toward saving the 14-story building of the refinery, but so intense was the fire in the drying house that this caught fire in several places, and at 12:30 a. m. it was evident that it could not be saved. The men employed in the three lower floors of the drying house ran for the doors and windows as soon as they had knowledge of the fire, and all of them succeeded in reaching the open air. The men on the seventh floor had no chance whatever for their lives. Several of them left the windows and crawled along the sills in an effort to reach a place of safety, but with the exception of two men all those who attempted to reach safety in this way made up their minds that it was certain death and went back into the burning building. The two men, however, determined to take the chances of a leap, and climbing up on the window ledge they sprang out into the air. One of them came straight down for the greater part of the way, but just after he was within a short distance of the pavement, his body swung around, and he struck the stone walk at full length. The other man turned over and over as he came whirling down. Their bodies were horribly crushed. Four other men jumped from windows on the fourth floor. These men were terribly injured. Chicago, Oct. 23.—Four of the five bodies taken to the morgue from the fire in the plant of the Glucose Sugar Refining Co. Tuesday night have been identified. They are: Otto Trapp, Edward Steinke, Andrew Woselka, Joseph Barry. drew Wosenka, Joseph Barry. It is almost certain that several more bodies are lying in the ruins, but the heat of the debris has prevented firemen from making any search and the exact number is not known. A switchman declares that he saw four men slide down a water pipe, and it is known that one man jumped into the river and made his escape. This diminishes the list to 12. RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. More than 2,800 Persons Were Killed and 39,800 Injured in This Country During One Year. Washington, Oct. 22.—The number of persons killed in train accidents during the months of April, May and June last, as shown by a bulletin issued yesterday by the inter-state commerce commission, giving the reports made by the railroad companies, was 140, and the injured 1,810. Accidents of other kinds, including those sustained by employees while at work and by passengers getting on or off cars, etc., swells the aggregate to 616 killed and 9,520 injured, or a total of 10,136 casualties. The total number of collisions and derailments was 2,010, of which 1,094 were collisions. Of these 157 collisions and 101 derailments affected passenger trains. The damage resulting to cars, engines and roadway by these accidents aggregated $1,813,833. The average loss by each collision was approximately $824 and by each derailment $995. The total casualties during the fiscal year ended June 30 last, including the above figures, was 2,813 killed and 39,800 injured. The number of employees killed showed a diminution of 68 per cent. since 1893, when the safety appliance act was passed, and this decrease has occurred notwithstanding the much larger number of men employed. Bank Rohbal of $6,000 St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 22.—A special to the Dispatch places the loss in the Summit, S. D., bank robbery of Sunday night at $6,000. No clew to the robbers has been found. Stole a March on Morgan. Stole a March on Morgan. London, Oct. 22.—A dramatic development in the fight for the control of London's "tube" railroads occurred Tuesday when it, transpired that Speyer Bros., who are financing Charles T. Yerkes' plans, had bought control of a large company hitherto allied with the Morgan scheme of transportation, thereby not only reducing the scope of the Morgan projected line by many miles, but actually threatening it with legal obliteration. The latest move in this Morgan-Yerkes rivalry was announced at a session of the house of commons "tubes" committee. Denies that She Is Guilty: Syracuse, N. Y., Oct. 22.-Maude Kiehl, the 18-year-old widow, who is in jail at Cortland under suspicion of causing the death of her brother-in-law, Adam Kiehl, by strychnine, talked of the case yesterday for the first time. She denied the charge, declared she was in love with her husband and cared nothing for Adam, and that she liked his brother Henry much better. Her attorney then made her stop talking. Coroner Santee reported that he found Adam Kiehl's death due to strychnine administered in tea by Mrs. Maude Kiehl.

MARVELOUS MEDIUM, Gives the names of dead and living friends, tells who and when you will marry, also of business, journeys, lawsuits, absent friends, health or health you wish to know, no matter what it is. 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 and 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—Call now 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 win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all your doings, in short what is best to do. He succeeds when all others fail. Positive help and satisfaction or no pay. Call and see. You will find it lucky to 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. Charles Miller, capitalist, 2481 Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Wm. Denmore, architect and orderer, Cleveland avenue, and Artist Sewer builder, builder (with polygon). All have known him for the past seven years. He gives a free test of his power to all. He understands thoroughly the diseases, spells or influences the race is subject to. He is now and always has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: "BROOKLYN, June 3, 1892.—This is to certify I came to New York from Albany. I was a stranger in a strange city, out of work and out of money. I had no luck in anything I undertook. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see DR. SHEA. I did; he told me the cause of all my trouble; he took me in and treated me like a brother. Through him I got a good position that very week. I had been to others; they took my money and did me no good. I bless the day I first met DR. SHEA. I would advise all in bad luck, sick or in trouble, to go to him at once. Sincerely, ALBERT AYERS, 2937 Atlantic avenue." "SOUTH PLAINFIELD, 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. He also said, "I am a poor woman and I was most insane. I went to DR. 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 mildst that can help people and tell them what to do. Sinceerely, 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 a lock of patient's hair, which I did 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 a cloak. Now, all is changely been under a cloak. And present and proud 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. ELLARSON, DR.

William Hunt, teamster, was thrown from his wagon, which was struck by a Euclid avenue car at the corner of Huntington and Prospect streets last Saturday. He sustained fracture of the skull. Little Miss Mamie Roberts, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Roberts, died recently, after a lingering illness. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, who are old and highly respected residents, have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement. In addition to the regular services at St. John's church on next Sunday the pastor, Rev. W. J. Johnson, will organize at 9:30 a.m. a Sunday class to be taught by himself, to which he extends an invitation to attend to all persons who are not already in Sunday work. Bring Bibles, please.

The contestants will be Misses Mattie Curtis, Garrett and Esther G. Irving. The money raised will go toward the grand rally to be held November 30. Each society of the church has been asked to give $50, and to this end the club is working. When a member of our race representing himself to be a missionary of the Wesleyan Methodist church asked permission to talk at Dr. W. B. Pickard's S.

Dr. Pickard said the man recently caused trouble among the Methodist churches of Ohio and Pennsylvania and that the entire brotherhood has been notified regarding him.

Therefore, when your shoes need repairing call on Mr. George H. Turner, of No. 627 Central avenue. Patronize him. My! but that Old Folks' Home report is a long time coming. It certainly begins to look as if there is something "rotten in Denmark." Mighty long time explaining what was done with that $950. Six or seven hundred for repairs is a little "raw."

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. John's Tear. Last Sunday afternoon the Men's club of Mt. Zion church convened for the purpose of listening to a discussion of disfranchisement by S. R. Locke (white), of Boston, and the editor of The Gazette, who had previously been invited for that purpose After a song by the trio, Hon. Harry C. Smith was introduced by the pastor of the church, Rev. J. S. Jackson, and he was followed by Mr. Locke. The subject was as thoroughly discussed and presented by the speakers as the short time allotted them would permit, after which came a general discussion and the asking of questions by members of the club. Hon. John P. Green, a clerk in the departments at Washington, who was present, was invited to deliver a short address and proceeded to deliver himself of an hour's harangue—the same old stereotyped "We-Freed-You" republican-stump-speech that the people of this community have heard him deliver at regular intervals for the last 20 years or more. John threshed about during the time stated and concluded with his usual liquid display—tears Abe in his eyes. No sooner had he concluded than it seemed as if almost every young man in the room leaped to his feet and wanted a verbal crack at John. The time, the place, the occasion and everything else, including the pastor's warning, were against such a political harangue and exhibition as Green had just given, but none of these things seemed to have the proper influence upon him. The first speaker took the floor and castigated John in such a way as to leave no doubt upon his mind or those of others in the audience that the time had passed when they would submit to such an infliction. The roast Joan received, as well as the criticisms of individual members of the Men's club expressed during the close of the afternoon's meeting and afterwards, were most hopeful signs for the future. The Afro-American is certainly receiving his political emancipation. It has been a long time coming, but it is coming just the same. The Wilde Welcome, Reception and Banquet. The welcome extended Mr. Geo. Wilde, of Manchester, England, secretary of the G. U. O. of O. F., and fraternal delegate to the (recent) New Haven B. M. C., proves an unqualified success. He arrived in the city shortly after noon on Sunday and was met at the depot by Ohio and Charles Sumner lodges, the Patriarchie and Households of Ruth No. 7 and No. 1375, headed by the Metropolitan band and escorted to the Forest City house. Mr. Wilde was accompanied to Cleveland from Buffalo and to Pittsburg from Cleveland by Grand Treasurer Reed. Monday the distinguished guest was shown the sights of the city, accompanied by a J. E. REED number of members of the organizations mentioned in a tally-ho and carriages. In the evening came the reception and banquet at Woodliff hall, which was indeed exceptionally successful. Caterer Norton and his able assistants had prepared and served a spread which was most creditable to him and the organizations. It was all that it could be and thoroughly enjoyed by every one present. The three long tables in the hall were insufficient to accommodate the crowd in attendance, with the result that one of them had to be reset. Fully four hundred people sat down to the banquet tables. The program was as follows: Prayer, Rev. J. S. Jackson; addresses of welcome by L. J. Price, who was toastmaster and introduced the speakers of the evening, and J. E. Elaborate Wint The crown of a crushed straw hat should be dampened with cold water and stuffed very lightly with old, soft paper. Then put to dry in a hot place. It will be blocked to its original shape. Reed; response, Rev. E. D. Dandridge; "The Afro-American Press," Hon. Harry C. Smith; fraternal greeting, J. C. Warrick; address, Mr. Wilde. McAfee's orchestra furnished very acceptable music and played for the ball which followed. All the addresses and responses were good, especially that of Mr. Wilde, who proved exceptionally interesting. He lert next day for Pittsburg. Grand Secretary Wilde has been in the United States since September 20. While here he has visited Philadelphia, Wilmington, Germantown, New Haven, Newport, Boston, New York, Niagara and Buffalo. From Cleveland he went to Pittsburg, where he was met by a delegation from Chicago, which will accompany him as he goes farther west. After a visit to Chicago Mr. Wilde will return to the cities of the central seaboard, taking in Washington, Baltimore, Richmond and Hampton. He will sail from New York on his return trip on November 8. The grand secretary is a man of most pleasing address and expressed himself as being extremely well impressed with what he had seen of the states. The railway systems, he said, are much better than in his own country and the comfort of traveling vastly greater. He finds our cars much more comfortable and commodious than those of England. Our hotels he finds everywhere much better than any in England saving those of London. Of our cities, he said that Philadelphia is very much like his native Manchester, while Boston reminds him of Liverpool or Bristol. New York seems to him to be destined to become the metropolis of the world. Of all the places he has seen in this country, Germantown has pleased him most, and he grew enthusiastic in speaking of the quiet beauty of that old colonial town. Purchased a Cottage.

BERNARD. 122B oliver St. Felt and Fur Toques for Winter THE HAT Elaborate Winter Coat Models THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WORLD ELT and fur are combined in many of the early winter hats that are now being seen, and the combination is at all times a charming one. Any number of at- ELT and fur are combined in many of the early winter hats that are now being seen, and the combination is at all times a charming one. Any number of attractive shapes may be found in the felt models for winter wear, and among these is what may be called the Tam-o'Shanter toques, which are made piquantly pretty by the presence of a bandeau which tilts them up in front and gives full effect to the presence of a deft drapery of soft silk through which are thrust two curving guills. A soft gray-green Tam-o'Shanter, for instance, will be contrasted with pale turquoise blue silk, and tawny brown quills; another is a study in scarlet with a relieving touch of white in the pattern of the soft silk; while again a nut-brown with trimmings of forget-me-not blue is quite charming. One model which is likely, I think, to be specially popular, repreens one of the leading and most becoming shapes for the coming season, the outer folds of soft white zibeline felt, giving place towards the center to vivid emerald green velvet, so arranged as to suggest a crown, though it is not raised at all above the level of the brim, while then the two effectively contrasted fabrics are draped low down at the back, and finished off with graceful scarf-like ends. Of course this toque can be obtained in any other desired colorings that are in vogue this season. Another that is especially notable is made in cloth, which can, of course, be arranged to match exactly any and every costume, the coloring in one case being a soft gray-blue, which makes effective background for the black velvet catching in the deftly draped folds about the crown, and then threaded through the cloth, Coats for the winter season are showing an elaborateness that has seldom been equaled, and the new models are destined to be unusually popular because of this elaborateness coming, as they do, at a time when the American woman feels that she can afford to indulge in some of Madame Mode's best offerings. But while the fashionable coats are elaborate they are in no ways loud or gaudy. For the most part they are studies in soft, hades of tan and fawn, or delicate biscuit and ivory tones—colors, these, which can be depended upon to harmonize with any costume and to do equally decorative and useful duty for day or evening wear, while it is wonderful to note what a variety of effects are secured in these similar shades by the cleverly devised trimmings. Illustrations of two of the many attractive models are shown here. The first, a graceful three-quarter coat, made of satin soft cloth in the coloring of old ivory, the sacque shape just suggesting the lines of the figure at the sides and fastening down the front with a bordering scroll design applique in darker brown cloth, which makes background for a silken braiding in two paler shades of fawn and brown, this design giving place about the knees to a bolder and more decorative device of vine leaves, and of clustering grapes, which are wrought in string-colored lace and embroidery HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Mice are banished by laying wild mint in their haunts. Sprinkle flour on burning oil. It will quickly extinguish it, whereas water would spread the flame. Tea, coffee or cocoa stains should be removed with boiling water; if obstinate, with a weak solution of oxalic acid. SUN which, at the back, forms a curtainlike drapery over the hair. For the rest two broad brown quills, clasped by a paste buckle, are so arranged as to sweep forward from the left side of the brim. A decidedly piquant little hat displays the fashionable union of blue and green, the dark but bright blue of the felt being flecked with a green, which is repeated in the velvet drawn round the crown, and forming two ear shaped loops at the back, divided by a long slide of shining paste, while then the plumage of the bird poised so jauntily at the left side, shades from blue to green. One of the notable novelties has a crown of cream cloth, while the upturned brim is of fawn chenille, interplaited with white, this quaint and pretty fabric being caught together over the white cloth at the back by interlacings of gold and steel, and finally finishing off towards the left side in a quintly knotted bow. Quite a new effect this, while for a finishing touch there is a bird of many hued plumage poised on the crown, its dominant tawny tint merging into purple and green and black. A beaver felt has the soft fawn coloring of the felt repeated by the prettily shaded wing feathers curving out at the side from the decorative bondage of a great cut steel buckle, which also catches in a drapery of darker brown silk. One model I have seen is a smart little hat of hairy white felt, with two long and beautifully marked quills curving right across the front, while, at either side, comes a chou of turquoise tinted satin, with a striped bordering of black, this pretty ribbon being looped together at the back, so that it droops over the hair in the graceful manner demanded by fashion. er Coat Models with clever touches of black here and there. Then the wide, bell-shaped sleeves and the deep collar also bear the broidered device, and, in addition, an edging of fur which introduces the darkest brown of all, the lining of white satin brocaded with scattered roses and leaves being the last dainty detail of a charming coat. The second is of soft biscuit-colored cloth lined with ivory satin brocaded with a design in delicate turquoise-blue, while, for its outer decoration, bands of cut cloth bring the career of the gracefully hanging garment to a decorative career at the knees, and are also a distinctive feature of the bell-shaped sleeves, and the deeply pointed cape collar, which is laid about the shoulders, and so cleverly combined with a yoke and bordering flounce of ivory lace. Then the fastening in front is effected in quite a new way by means of three sets of rosettes in soft satin centered with blue enamel and gold buttons. ELLEN OSMONDE. The Wings of the Fly. The wings of a fly are used with great quickness, and probably 600 strokes are made per second. This would carry the fly about 25 feet, but a seven-fold velocity can easily be attained, making 175 feet per second so that under certain circumstances it can outstrip a race-horse. GERMAN INTERESTS German companies now have six steamers plying regularly on the river Yangtse between Shanghai and Hankow. The German peasantry have a curious instrument called the nagelgeige or nail violin. It is a circular frame of wood in which are set 60 or 70 iron pins, played with a bow. The custom of writing foolish begging letters to the emperor has become so prevalent in German schools that a warning has been sent out that it must stop or fines will be inflicted. --- 3 To introduce our goods into every home in the United States, we have decided to give away many useful and valuable presents.

Bill for Their Sale to the United States is Hejected by the Lands« thing. Copenhagen, Oct, 23.—The lands- thing yesterday rejected the second reading of the bill providing for the ratification of the treaty between Denmark and the United States in regard to the cession of the Danish West Indies to the latter country. The vote stood 32 to 32, a tie. ‘The announcement caused the greatest excitement in the house. The result of the vote was doubts ‘ful until the last moment. One mem, ber had not taken a definite stand and it was uncertain whether two sick members would be able to attend. ‘The ages of these men, Thygsen and Raben, are 97 and 87 years, respective- ly. Both had been expected to die for several weeks past; they were both bedridden at their homes, 150 miles from Copenhagen, but they were brought to the city. Prominent anti-sale political leaders were sent to transport them here. The suffer- ers, who were accompanied by physi- cians, were carried into a car, which was roiled onto a ferryboat, on which it crossed from Jutland. On their ar- rival at Copenhagen they were met by leading anti-salers and were driv- en in carriages to a hotel. ‘Washington, Oct. 23.—It is probable in view of the closeness of the vote in the landsthing that the Danish government will decide to make an- other attempt to secure the approval of the treaty at a more peapistons time. This may be accomplished by the simple device of negotiating with the United States an amendment to the treaty extending the time allowed for the exchange of ratitications of the original treaty. This could be done by Denmark without reference to the rigsdag. But as the treaty has been ratified by the United States senate the amendment in our case necessarily would take the shape of a separate treaty and would require ap. proval by the senate, as in the case of the petelned nanean iting CIGARETTES DOOMED. ST eee re me hth ay of “Coffin Natis.’? Portland, Me., Oct. 23.—In the W. C. T. U. convention yesterday Mrs. E. B. Ingalls, superintendent of the depart- ment of anti-narcotics, submitted a report which was in part as follows: “In a circular sent out at the be- ginning of the year I said if we work quietly, easily and keep at it, the cigarette will be driven out of exist- ence in ten years, A large number of the members of the W. C. T. U. took up the study of this question ‘and the results are marvelous. Teagues have been formed, lectures ‘given, sermons preached and this country aroused as never before. “A careful statistical examination ‘has been made by educators of boys drawn by lot. This table shows the average efficiency of non-smokers is 95. per cent., that is 95 per cent. out of 100 would probably acquire a good education. On the other hand only six out of 100 cigarette smokers could hope to battle successfully against the mental inefficiency pro- duced by the cigarette habit. Of smokers, 60 per cent. had poor memo- ries, 40 per cent. were untruthful, 60 per cent. had bad manners, 90 per cent. were slow thinkers. “Our rallying ery is five million ‘boys pledged against the tobacco habit before November, 1903. This year we have pledged 40,932 boys and ‘many girls.” With the hymn “God Be With You ‘Till We Meet Again,” and the bene- diction, the great convention of the National Women’s Christian Temper- ance Union came to an end last night. ‘The meeting place for next year has not been decided, but the belief i general that it will be in some city o. the middle’ west. DECLARED ILLEGAL. enue Laws In Handling Whisky: Keokuk, Ta., Oct. 23.-The federal grand jury has returned to the United States district court an indictment of the Adams Express Co. for an alleged yiolation of the internal revenue laws. Persons at Birmingham, Ia., received C. 0. D, packages of whisky from con- signors in Illinois and paid collections and charges to the express agent. ‘The grand jury and District Attor- ney Miles held that the C. 0. D. method constituted a sale of goods by the express company to the con- signee and, hence, requires a retail liquor dealer’s license. The express company was indicted as a corpora- tion under a California precedent. The ‘case grows’ out of efforts of people in many Iowa communities to prevent the sale of liquor, and the ef- forts of dealers to circumvent the Yowa prohibitory law. he latter is badly crippled by a decision of the United States supreme court that in- ter-state traffic in origin] packages cannot be stopped by a state law. eres Seametan ae. Meastowes.. Detroit, Mich., Oct. 23.—ihe Ameri. ean Railway association closed its semi-annual session yesterday at the Hotel Cadillac. The next meeting will be held in New York City in April next.

A Wreek on the Pennsy. Pittsburg, Oct. 23.—The dense fog yesterday was the cause of a west: bound passenger train on the Penn- sylvania railroad crashing into a freight wreck near New Florence, re- sulting in the death of Fireman H. D. Corl, None of the passengers were hurt. The freight wreck completely blockaded both eastbound and west- bound tracks and before warning could be given the passenger train came along. The engineer being un- able to see the wreck on account, of the fog a collision resulted, derailing the engine and two cars. ‘The Indian Conference. Mohonk Lake, N, Y., Oct. 23.—The twentieth annual Lake Mohonk in- dian conference opened here Wednes- day. Bishop Potter, of New York, made the opening address. Gen. Whit- flessey read a paper reviewing the work of the Indian bureau for the present year. It was shown by this report that the Indian service cost $700,000 less than last year. Of the @mount “expended 38 per cent. had been for school purposes. Ip the mat- ter of education it was shown that there are 28,610 Indians attenging Schools, an increase of 1,000 over the year 1901, TROUBLE BEGINS. ‘Trouble begins with the first back- ache. Backache comes in many | forms. Sudden twinges of pain, sharp stitches, slow exhaustive aches. Most backache pains are kidney ‘pains, ne The Kidneys fail to perform the duties nature intends them to do and the warning of trouble comes through the back. Neglect the kidney warning, grave complications will surely follow. Urinary disorders — Diabetes— Bright’s Disease—are the downward steps of neglected kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure every kid- ney, and bladder sickness and the curé lasts. Read this proof of it: Mrs. Adam Guntle, residing at, 701 South Plum St. Crawfordsville, Ind., | says: “I made a public statement in 1897 saying that Doan’s Kidney Pills had cured a member of our family after he had suffered for years with te weak back and kidney troubles. He took three boxes of this remedy | and was completely cured. Now three years have elapsed since 1 made this statement and I am only too pleased to reendorse it. I have also used Doan’s Kidney Pills myself, obtaining the best results, T have recommended this remedy to my friends and neighbors as one which ean always be depended upon.” A free trial of this great Kidney medicine which cnred Mrs. Guntle will be mailed on application to any ae of the United States.

Sally Kept All That Was Left Over to Use When a Doctor Wasn't at Hand, Up in a little Vermont town they tell a story of an old nurse. She was the kind of an “old nurse” to be found in small towns, ‘who comes, after much urging, to “tend” a gase and whe has many Seirey Gamp pecu Karities, relates the New York Herald. “Miss Sally,” as she was called, was in- duced to come to the house of the sick wom- an and take charge. | She moved in—cob pipe, batch of starched aprons, knitting and all, After the good creature had seen the case through, she said to the doctor, “Doc, kin I take my toll?” ssiihat’s that, Sally?” aaked the visting physician, who had come from the capital city and was amused and a little irritated by, the old woman's ways, “I mean the medicine?” said the vurse complacently. “The medicine!” exclaimed the doctor. “What on earth de you want with the medi- cine?” No fifth wheel to a wagon was ever more redundant than left over medicines, “ pute it jn me jug,” replied the old wom- an slowly, “and then I gives it out, occa- sionally when there ain’t no doctor nigh.” ‘The visiting physician roared with laugh. ter, but aobered down when the story of “Ola Sally's” “Jug” medicine was explained to him.
