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. A STARTLING CRIME. Mississippi, South Carolina and other states have borne a very bad and disgraceful record for their disloyalty, lawlessness and persecution of Afro-Americans. But alas! alas! Alabama discloses a sickening account of her hypocritical dealings with the race. The noted Afro-American some years ago sang all over the north "when slavery dies, there'll be freedom," and we felt a sort of unspeakable ecstacy that we might live to welcome that day. The immortal Lincoln has more than three decades issued his memorable edict of freedom and the world has contented itself that in America freedom prevails everywhere. But like doubting Thomas, we are led to exclaim, "My Lord and my God!" The startling truth is revealed that in Alabama a virtual slavery still exists. Negro men and women are held in servitude, a cruel bondage under the wicked regulations of the workhouse system. Long after fines are paid and the penalty paid, these helpless victims are held in slavery through the malignity and avariciousness of a master. The authorities are too busy to see after these outrages against the law, and the villainous crime is tolerated. Phyllis McCants, a colored woman, was employed at $4 a month in 1900 as a farm hand. The woman testifies in court that she received not the promised compensation, yet was held as a slave, was beaten and scourged at will. This is but a sample of the many cases of Afro-Americans held in practical slavery on several of the plantations of Alabama. Now how is it that our general government, the authorities of Alabama, President Roosevelt and even our "leader" (?) and advocate, Prof. B. T. Washington, are so absolutely remiss in regard to this crime against the nation? There can be no excuse for such neglect in bringing these bad men to book. The matter is too grave to be overlooked, and it is to be hoped that Afro-American leaders of Alabama and elsewhere will exert their efforts to have the facts brought properly before congress. LOCAL COMMITTEES OUTRAGE THE G. A. R. The G. A. R. remains to-day one of the noblest organizations known to the country. Its broad and liberal principles as they concern its members, are substantial proof of its impartial and patriotic intentions. At no time in all its history has it ever betrayed any disposition to discriminate against its members. Regardless of race or nationality, that grand old body, like the needle to the pole, has remained true to its integrity, true to its profession. But in the management of local affairs in the interest of that body, there has been gross infringement upon the cardinal principles as contained in their constitution. Local committees appointed to represent the G. A. R. have betrayed unmatched treachery in their preparation to receive its members at their annual gatherings. Without authority and with no ground of excuse, the white local committees have undertaken to dictate for the organization and proscribe Afro-American veterans simply on account of color. In utter disregard of the great principles of loyalty and patriotism, a local committee acting for that body and actuated from motives the most sordid, loathsome and mean, now and then is found engaging in some unauthorized low deviltry to degrade the Negro. Though the Afro-American has established his reputation as the bravest among the brave, and though he has won fame upon a hundred battle fields in the cause of his country, yet the demon of hate seeks him out through these little contemptible, ignorant and narrow-minded local committees to demean and humiliate him. Afro-Americans have fought side by side with the white soldier in every bloody contest and have snatched victory from defeat at the very time when defeat seemed certain. What is the matter with these little souls that the cause of patriotism must carry such a libel upon its name? They demand the expulsion of colored men from committees other than those proscribed, and they assign them to places only as to an inferior class. Too mean and undeserving to be classed with the defenders of the nation, they are assigned to ignoble duty only in downright mockery of the cause which we all serve. In this city the disgraceful act was undertaken and again in the capital of the nation the attempt was repeated with unmatched audacity. We denounced the discrimination THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1902. here as being most dastardly; we denounced it as the culmination of the most unspeakable brutal meanness, and we commend the brave act of Maj. Chas. R. Douglass, who in the pride of vigorous manhood rebuked the base intruder who gave the insult. In supreme forgetfulness of their manhood honor to degrade the Afro-American soldier they have degraded themselves and entailed disgrace upon the community and those whom they represent. Very nobly did the good people of Washington act in this matter, and we commend the conduct of Afro-Americans who stood for the right as against villainy, hate, disloyalty and inhumanity. LYNCHERS SEEK LICENSE FOR THEIR CRIMES. The most horrible crime charged to the Afro-American, David Cross, at Wynne, Ark., in the murder of the three colored girls, takes rank with the most villainous of bloody crimes. It is an act of savagery which calls for the severest punishment. If David Cross is the guilty man, as will be determined by the court, then he should suffer the penalty. We cannot and should not condone crime of any kind, and the individual so adjudged, regardless of race, should be dealt with according to the law. The law is the ample and all-sufficient paladium of society and liberty and any invasion against its claims is an enroachment upon good government. We do not say that David Cross is the guilty party. We do not argue that he is not. The accounts as given through the press are against him, and there can be no doubt but that the authorities have arrested the right man. Now, while it is true that the murderer, whoever he may be, stands answerable to the people of Wynne and the state of Arkansas, yet he is answerable first and immediately to the court and the authorities who are to deal with the case. Any attempt on the part of the mob to interfere, no matter whether they be black men or white men, imposes a like infliction upon the violators of law. We dare even to declare, as we have heretofore affirmed, that all lynchers deserve to be hung. In the alieged crime of David Cross, the strongest effort was made to instigate colored men to lynch him. White men poured in from all parts of the county, seeking to enrage the blacks to take the law in their own hands. White men made the search, ransacked the woods, entered trains and assembled at the jail, leading on and urging colored men to train in the cowardly work of the mob. But we here again enter our protest against the dastardly act of lynchers. Regardless of any and all crimes, the law must be allowed to deal with every suspect and, all criminals. But if not, then there is no need of law. The Afro-American in the south is already branded as a lawless element. Why should southern white men seek to stir up Negroes against the authorities of the community? Why arouse them to the committal of highhanded and revolting crimes when, in fact, it is claimed that they are bloodthirsty, unmanageable creatures and must be treated with prompt and cruel punishment in order to subdue them? Very inconsistent, indeed, is this part of the drama which curses the Afro-American for the worst of brutalities, while at the same time he is urged on to commit them. But the southern lynch has no blush nor scruples in carrying out his own dark plans, when he wants to find a pretext for doing so. They very well see the terrible effect of mob violence upon the country. They see the folly of their own dark deeds and they fully realize that the burden of this awful guilt rests upon the white men of the nation. The war has been almost solely upon Afro-Americans, while enlightened public sentiment has denounced the practice as an outrage against our new Christian civilization. Southern white men would eliminate this evil if they could. They would shift the blackness of these hellish deeds upon the illiterate black people among them. So the opportunity is given, when black men charged with murder or a criminal assault upon one of their own race, white men seek to stir up mob law among Afro-Americans. It is all a blind, an ugly pretext to induce Negroes to share in their villainies only as a cover or as an excuse in furtherance of the most unpardonable offense ever perpetrated against any people. We again repeat that the mischief done by the mob is widespread and demoralizing and admits of no degree of allowance. Knowing the horrible effect which the practice must have upon society and the authority of government, we insist and contend that the fate of the lyncher demands capital punishment. WANT TO KEEP THEM. Southern Farmers Augry Because Labor Agents Take Afro-American Help Away. New Orleans, La.—The movement started in Mississippi against the labor agents who are said to have enticed Afro-Americans away to work on railroads and other public work and to be responsible for the present shortage in labor on the plantations has reached an exciting stage. Large meetings were held last week at Macon and Liberty comprised mainly of farmers, to discuss the best methods of suppressing the labor agents. Resolutions were adopted at Macon declaring that the labor agents must stop their work, and that if they persist after this warning, they will have to stand the consequences, whatever they may be. The social given at the A. M. E. church last Friday evening was quite a success.-The Ladies Aid society will reorganize next week.-Mrs. Dage Childs, Miss Lizzie Mashon and Miss Nellie Shorts were in Wheeling Saturday.-Mr. John Green is still sick.-Mr. Nathan Childs is able to be out.-There was a birthday party Monday evening at Mrs. John Mashon's in honor of Mr. Mashon.-Mrs. Mattie Roules is sick.

The federal grand jury at Grand Rapids, Mich., has returned indictments against Postmaster Elmer Herendon, of Baldwin, Mich., and D. H. Miller, of Chicago, who were arrested last month on a charge of running a lottery and promotion scheme through the fraudulent use of the mails. Hundreds of horrified spectators saw Thomas Baxter, an aged resident of Chariton, Ia., cremated in a fire which destroyed his dwelling. The burning body could be seen through the windows of the blazing house. There is much mystery surrounding the case and it is thought Baxter was murdered and the house set on fire to conceal the crime.

A petition has been filed in the court of claims at Washington by the Delaware Indians claiming to reside in and to be a band or the Cherokee tribe, in Indian Territory, to recover from the government an aggregate of $439,468, with interest, as the amount which the Delaware claim the United States illegally diverted out of what belonged to them, and paid to a large number of New York Indians. Jury Acquits Molineux of the Charge of Murder. Only a Few Minutes Were Needed to Reach a Verdict—A Crowd of One Thousand People Cheered Gen. Molineux and His Son as They Left the Court Room. New York, Nov. 12.—More than a thousand men and women, and there were more women than men, crowded the corridors of the criminal court building before 9 o'clock yesterday morning and fought for admission to the room where Justice Lambert was sitting in the Molineux trial. After the usual preliminaries, Assistant District Attorney Osborne 'resumed his summing up. Mr. Osborne in his peroration pointed out again the circumstances upon which he relied for a conviction, turning at each mention of Molineux's name to point his finger at the defendant. Molineux sat unmoved at the arraignment but attentive to every word of it. Not so with his father. The old general was visibly affected by the words of the prosecuting officer and the prisoner's brother was very nervous. In his concluding words Mr. Osborne begged the jury not to let their feelings run away with their judgment and not to refuse to convict through timidity. It was past noon when Mr. Osborne was through and then Justice Lambert suspended proceedings until 1:15 o'clock. At the afternoon session Justice Lambert delivered his charge to the jury. It was an exhaustive review of the case. In exactly 13 minutes after the jury retired word was brought to the court room that a verdict had been reached. Court officers shouted for order and a hurry call was sent for Justice Lambert, who was not to be found in his chambers. It was 3:28 when the notice was received and it was 3:45 when Justice Lambert took his seat. Molineux, who had been brought into court on the first notice from the jury room, sat calm and confident as ever. As soon as Justice Lambert took his seat he notified the audience that there must be no demonstration and then instructed the clerk to put the question to the jury. "Not guilty," said the foreman, in reply to the formal inquiry, and Molineux, who had been standing to receive the verdict, sank back in his chair. Then after counsel for both sides had congratulated each other and the jury and had thanked the court, Justice Lambert ordered the formal discharge of Molineux. A crowd of at least a thousand followed cheering Gen. Molineux and his son as they left the court room with Messrs. Olcott and Weeks. Former Gov. Black, who reached the sidewalk some five minutes later, received an even greater ovation than had greeted Molineux. A COMPROMISE. Wage Dispute Between Switchmen and Railway Officials Is Amicably Settled. Chicago, Nov. 12.—The wage controversy between the railroads and the Brotherhood of Railway Trqinmen, which for a time threatened to tie up all the principal switching terminals in Chicago, was amicably adjusted last night at a conference between the railroad managers and officials of the brotherhood. The settlement was reached on the basis of a compromise. Seventeen of the officials signed the new agreement, and the Santa Fe, the other road involved, will sign to-day. The men will receive an increase of about 12 per cent. In their demands, which were submitted several weeks ago, the men asked for an increase of five cents an hour. After several conferences between the representatives of both sides, the railroads offered to compromise with an increase of two and one-half cents an hour to helpers and three cents to foremen. This was refused by the switchmen. At last night's meeting the railroads submitted a proposition offering an increase of three cents an hour to helpers and four cents to foremen. After several hours' deliberation the proposition was accepted by the men. The rates agreed upon are as follows: Day foremen 31 cents per hour, night foremen 33 cents per hour, day helpers 26 cents per hour, night helpers 30 cents per hour. A Defiant Answer. Washington, Nov. 12.—Several more of the railroads which were made defendants in the complaint made by the Kentucky railroad commission, charging merger of interests which threatened to place the entire southern territory under the domination of a single firm, filed their answers with the inter-state commerce commission yesterday. The answers in the main, like those of the Illinois Central and the Texas Pacific, filed Monday, deny the allegations. The Louisville & Nashville railroad, however, goes further and its answer styles the complainant's petition "a mere fishing bill." It disputes the jurisdiction of the inter-state commerce commission over such matters. Endorsed the Certificate Plan Denver, Col., Nov. 12. The passenger agents of the Terminal Lines association have voted unanimously for the adoption of a law requiring all invalid passengers to have certificates from physicians stating the kind of disease they have, before boarding trains. The secretary of the association was instructed to confer with the city, county and state health officials in regard to the form of certificates which are best adapted for the purpose, and as soon as this shall be done, plans will be laid for putting the new agreement into effect. Train Wrecker Sentenced Train Wrecker Sentenced. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 12.—Powell Ratherwiski, charged with attempting to wreck a passenger train on the Delaware & Hudson railroad during the miners' strike, pleaded guilty in court yesterday and was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. Forty Jailbirds Escape. Tucson, Ariz., Nov. 12.—Forty prisoners confined in the jail at Cananea overpowered the jamers and escaped in broad daylight. The men were charged with different offenses, ranging from petty larceny to murder. A HOT SKIRMISH. Colombian Rebels Fire On Government Boats, Killing One American-Revolutionists Lost Every Man in Sight, 40 or 50 in Number. Panama, Nov. 13.—The first American casualties as a result of the revolution occurred Tuesday. The Colombian fleet captured a boat having on board correspondence showing the whereabouts of two revolutionary schooners loaded with provisions. The government warships headed for the place and on arriving there the Bogota (formerly the Jessie Banning), manned by an American crew, commanded by Capt. Marmaduke, lowered two boats with armed men, but as the schooners were aground they waited until high tide to attack them In the meanwhile the revolutionists were discovered in ambush close to the beach and when the Bogota's boats pulled ahead the second time the rebels opened fire on them, killing the ship's armorer, Richard Kane, of Washington, and wounding George Walker, who was shot through the legs. A seaman named Clarke and Lieut. Vasquez were also wounded, but not seriously. The Bogota and Chucuito then opened fire on the enemy and killed every man in sight. One shot fired at a group of ten rebels who were most actively engaged in shooting at the boat's crews, killed every one of them. Gunner Cross, of the Bogota, thinks that from 40 to 50 rebels were killed. One of the schooners, the Helvetia, loaded with rice, was captured, but the first shot at the second schooner set her on fire and she was completely destroyed with her cargo. The body of Kane will be buried here with military honors. FORMALLY DISBAND. An Association of Furniture Manufacturers Goes Out of Existence. Cincinnati, Nov. 13.—The National Association of Chamber Suit Manufacturers, who manufacture all kinds of furniture, excepting chairs, upholstered parlor furniture and iron bedsteads, met here Wednesday with about 125 members present, representing about that number of manufacturing plants. After an all-day session they agreed that there could be nothing but disagreement among them regarding prices, the most important and practically the only matter that had claimed the attention of the meeting; accordingly they formally disbanded the national association. The strife over prices was caused by the determined stand taken early in the session for a sharp advance by many delegates. Other members as stubbornly opposed a marked advance just now, their chief argument for keeping prices down, notwithstanding the constant upward tendency of all materials, being that such action would be giving competitors who were not members of the association, too great an advantage. It became clearly apparent that there could be no compromise or agreement on the subject, so that an abandonment of the association was the only thing in order. THE STANDARD RAISED. Pennsylvania's Supreme Court Makes New Rules to Govern Admissions to the Bar. Philadelphia, Nov. 13.—The supreme court of Pennsylvania has promulgated new rules to govern admissions to the bar, completely revolutionizing the system in force for more than a century. A state board of law examiners composed of five members is established. Admissions on law school diplomas are abolished. Registration is required at the commencement of the course of three years' study, but a preliminary examination must first be passed in English literature, universal history, history of England and the United States, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, geography and Latin, Caesar, Virgil and Cicero. The three years of preparation after registration must be passed either in an approved law school or by the service of a bona fide clerkship in a law office. This action of the court was taken as the result of a memorial presented on behalf of the Pennsylvania Bar association by a committee representing various sections of the state, and is the culmination of an aggressive fight waged for eight years oy the best element to raise the standard for admission to the legal profession. Gave $100,000 to a College Philadelphia, Nov. 13.—Edward and Clarence H. Clark, of Philadelphia, have subscribed $100,000 to found a professorship in Assyriology at the University of Pennsylvania. The Messrs. Clark have been among the largest subscribers to the Babylonian expeditions of the University of Pennsylvania for the past 14 years, and the success of these expeditions, now known all over the world—has lead them to endow this professorship. The trustees of the university have accepted the gift, and have named the chair "The Clark Professorship of Assyriology," and Dr. H. V. Hilprecht will be the first incumbent. Convicted of Murder Erie, Pa., Nov. 13.—Ernest Howard, of Corry, was found guilty of murder in the second degree last evening for the killing, near that city on May 29, of an old soldier named Henry Haddock, whom he had enticed into the woods for the purpose of robbery. A Girl's Sentence for Manslaughter. A Girl's Sentence for Manslaughter, Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 13.—Nina K. Danforth, the deformed Framingham girl, pleaded guilty here yesterday to manslaughter in causing the death of Andrew J. Emery, whom she shot and killed at his home in South Framingham on May 17 last. It was claimed that Emery had led the young woman to believe that he was in love with her and would marry her and that she shot him upon learning that he had a wife and children. She was sentenced to serve a year and nine months in the house of correction. Will Build 20 Huge Steamhops. Duluth, Nov. 13.—In line with its expressed hope to increase the steel ore carrying fleet of the Pittsburg Steamship Co., that company has called for bids for the building of 20 steel steamships, to be 52 feet longer than anything at present on the lakes. The ships will be 550 feet long, 58 feet beam and 30 feet deep, and will carry 9,000 tons each. It is expected that when built these ships will use up about $10,000,000 of the $50,000,000 laid aside by the United States Steel Corporation for improvements. The steel corporation owns the Pittsburg Steamship Co. He—I understand your minister has made quite a little money out of lotteries. She—Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

He is thor- oughly endorse by leading Spiritualists everywhere ; received. from them a ee med- ‘al and special license to practice his won- derful powers; credentials no one else can ‘show; can give thousands of references to both ‘white and cvlored patrons. Twenty- five years’ practice—seven In Brooklyn— will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell you whet business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be | suecessiul in all your doings, In short what lis 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 drunken- ness; can be given patients, not knowing it. Thousands through him are now RICH, HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL in all their amereh ines while those who neglect his advice aré still laboring against [ate and adversity. Through his perfect nowledge of chemistry he can impart to you a secret that will overcome your ene- injes and win you friends. His aid and ad- vice haye often been solicited, the result has always been the securing of seen and happy marriage and all your wishes. In love affairs he never falls, He has the se- cret of winning the affections of the oppo- site 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 pos- | sess. They have neither gifts, credentials, hor references. Surely the colored people are not so wanting Im 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.

Kellogg Newspaper Co, 4 1807 Strand Street, Galveston, Tex., who is proprietor of a boarding house at that address, numbering among her boarders a dozen medical students, says: "I caught cold during the flood of September, 1900, and it settled in my kidneys. Despite the fact that I tried all kinds of medicine and was under the care of physicians, the excruciating twinges and dull aching across the small of my back refused to leave, and trouble with the kidney secretions began to set in. From then, ordinary Anglo-Saxon fails to describe the annoyance and suffering I endured. The fearful pain through my body, loss of appetite, loss of sleep, consequent loss of energy, and, finally, an indication of complete dissolution compelled me, from sheer agony and pain, to either lie on the floor and scream, or force me into spasms. On such occasions my husband called in a physician, whose morphine treatment relieved me temporarily. I grew weaker and thinner, and so run down physically that nothing was left but skin and bone. All my friends, acquaintances, and neighbors knew about my critical condition, and on one occasion I was reported dead and they came to see my corpse. At last the doctors attending me held a consultation and agreed that if I did not undergo an operation I could not live. Preparations were made, a room selected at the city hospital, and they even went so far as to have the carriage brought to the door to carry me there. I don't know why, but something told me not to go, and I absolutely refused. Now I want the reader to grasp every word of the following: A friend of ours, a Mr. McGaund, knowing that my kidneys were the real cause of the entire trouble, brought a box of Doan's Kidney Pills to the house, and requested me to give them a trial. I had taken so much medicine that I was more than discouraged, and had little, if any, faith in any preparation. However, I reasoned if they did not do me good they could not possibly make me worse, so I began the treatment. After the third dose, I felt something dart across me like a flash of lightning, and from that moment I began to improve. The pain in my back and kidneys positively disappeared, the kidney secretions became free and natural. At present I rest and sleep well, my appetite is good, my weight has increased from 118 to 155 pounds, and my flesh is firm and solid. My friends actually marvel at the change in my appearance. Words cannot express my own feelings. I am not putting it too strongly when I say I have been raised from the dead. I am satisfied that had it not been for Doan's Kidney Pills, taken when they were, I would have been either lying in the Lake View Cemetery, or an invalid for the balance of my life. I will be only too pleased to give minute particulars of my case to any one calling on me, not, of course, out of idle curiosity, but if they really have kidney complaint and want to know what course to pursue to get relief."

The Second Pie Was One That Would "Go Down" Without the Maker's Praise. A young man who spent his summer vacation on a Maine farm says that new instances of the thrift and shrewdness of his landlady are constantly thrusting themselves upon his attention, relates Youth's Companion. One day a wagon load of unexpected relatives descended on the farm, and the mistress was, as she afterward frankly said, "put to it" to provide enough food for dinner. She brought forward among other things an apple pie, which seemed to the boarder far inferior to the pies she usually made. But when she served it she spoke of her reputation as a piemaker. "They do say at the sociables that nobody's pies quite come up to mine," she remarked, with a beaming smile; "and apple pies are what you might call my specialty. I've often been asked for the receipt, but I tell 'em it's knack and judgment does it, not rule." The pie disappeared and then, when her guests were not as hungry as they had been, she brought forth a second pie, flaky of crust and luscious to the taste. "Why, Aunt Mary," said the youngest of the party, a boy of 12. "I think this pie's ever so much better than the other, and you haven't said a word about it!" His aunt looked at him without so much as a twinkle in her eyes. Without a pairing "This one will go down without praising, I reckon," she said, gravely. SURE OF APPLAUSE. Sarah Had a Nasal Twang, But She Was Going to Receive One That the theatrical claque is not confined to playhouses was demonstrated beyond all shadow of doubt to the teacher who was drilling the pupils for the exercises in one of the public schools, relates the New York Times. The unresponsive bit of femininity over whom the amateur "coach" worked rejoiced in the name of Sarah. When Sarah began to talk all her vocal organs took joyful holiday and retired in favor of her nose. In vain the teacher begged and implored. Sarah still clung to her monotone. Then the teacher threatened. "Sarah," she said, "if you don't try to do better you will fail utterly and then how will you feel?"

"I was certainly glad to find that within a week I felt much better, the terrible pains in my back and side were beginning to cease, and at the time of menstruation I did not have nearly as serious a time as heretofore, so I continued its use for two months, and at the end of that time I was like a new woman. I really have never felt better in my life, have not had a sick headache since, and weigh 20 pounds more than I ever did, so I unhesitatingly recommend Vegetable Compound."—MRS.

HAMLIN'S WIZARD OIL FOR EARACHE ALL DRUGGISTS SELL IT THE UNION BLAMED Miners Demands Replied to By President Baer. He Claims a 20 Per Cent. Increase In Wages Is Unreasonable and Unjust-Cost of Producing Coal Has Been Increased by Injury to Mines. Washington, Nov. 12.—The reply of President George F. Baer, of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal Co., to the charges of President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, which has been presented to the anthracite coal strike commission, was given to the public yesterday. Taking up the specifications in Mr. Mitchell's charges seriatim, Mr. Baer admits that his company owns 37 collieries and that before the strike it employed 26,829 people. Following is a brief summary of the response to Mr. Mitchell's other specifications: The demand for 20 per cent. increase in wages on piece work is denounced as "arbitrary, unreasonable and unjust." The company contends that after making all necessary allowance for different conditions that the rate of wages paid for the mining of anthracite coal is as high as that paid in the bituminous coal fields. The company denies that the present rate of wages is lower than is paid in other occupations in the same locality and controlled by like conditions. Mr. Baer denies that the earnings of the anthracite workers are less than average earnings for other occupations requiring skill and training and also the charge that the earnings are insufficient because of the dangerous character of work in the anthracite mines. The sixth specification made by Mr. Mitchell is referred to as too vague for specific answer, but in a general way it is stated that the anthracite regions are among the most prosperous in the United States. The company pronounces as unjust and inequitable the demand for a reduction of 20 per cent. in hours of labor without a reduction of earnings for time employees, and this demand is pronounced impracticable. In this connection the following statement is made: "Because of the injury to the mines by the strike of the United Mine Workers the cost of producing coal has been greatly increased and a temporary advance in price was made by this company, but it will be impracticable to continue such increase when mining operations become normal." Mr. Baer says that his company has no disagreement with any of its employees about the weighing of coal, because the quantity is usually determined by measurement and not by weight. Replying to the fourth demand made by Mr. Mitchell Mr. Baer says since the advent of the United Mine Workers' organization into the anthracite fields, business conditions there have been intolerable; that the output of the mines has decreased; that discipline has been destroyed; that strikes have been of almost daily occurrence; that men have worked when and as they pleased, and that the cost of mining has been greatly increased. He also takes the position that the jurisdiction of the commission is limited to the conditions named by the coal company presidents which excludes the United Mine Workers from any recognition in the proceedings. He says, however, that "when a labor organization limited to anthracite mine workers is created which shall obey the law, respect the right of every man to work and honestly cooperate with employers, trade agreements may become practicable." MURDER AND SUICIDE Pioneer Kansas City Doctor Killed by an Ex-Policeman, Who Then Shot Himself. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 12.—Dr. W. H. Kimberlin, a pioneer citizen, was shot and killed in his office in this city Tuesday by John Scanlon, formerly a policeman, who then shot and killed himself. The bodies of both men were found in the doctor's office. Dr. Kimberlin was shot three times and both men must have died almost instantly. Scanlon left a note on the dresser, in which he had written: "Notify my brother at city hall I did this because he destroyed my eyes. Scanlon had been receiving treatment from Dr. Kimberlin for about two weeks. He entered the physician's office unseen, and it is not known how long he had been there. Another patient, who was waiting in an outside office said: "I heard Scanlon go into the doctor's private office and I heard him and the doctor talking. There was no quarrel or loud words, however, until Dr. Kimberlin cried out: "'Oh, don't, John.' "The shots followed immediately. A bullet came through the wan and passed over the chair, from which I had jumped when the shooting began." Dr. Kimberlin was 58 years old and had practiced in Kansas City for 30 years. Scanlon was 37 years old and unmarried. He had worked as fireman on the Burlington railroad and later on the Kansas City police force. Steamship Trust Chicago, Nov. 12. The Chronicle says: That Lake Michigan will next year be the scene of the operations of a ship trust is generally accepted as a fact among vessels of Chicago. Three months have passed since the first step toward consolidation of the lake lines was taken, and yesterday it was declared on good authority that all the lines have submitted schedules of their properites to the promoters. J. H. Graham, president of the Graham & Morton Transportation Co., with headquarters in Chicago, probably will be president of the consolidated companies. Solitary Believed.

Washington, Nov. 12.—The statistics of the gross postal receipts of the government for last month as compared with October, 1901, at 50 of the largest postoffices in the country, show a total of $5,580,499, an increase of 13 per cent. BRITISH ARE SAFER. Mr. Walker, an English Expert, Says Human Life Receives Less Consideration Here Than in His Country. The report of H. A. Walker, the expert sent by the London & Northwestern railroad to America in order to investigate railroad conditions here, has been published. Mr. Walker sums up as follows: "It will be seen from the figures before you that the American companies have nothing to boast of in the safety either of their passengers or employees. On the contrary, human life seems to be considered of much less importance there than here and I am of the opinion that in this respect the British railway officials have nothing whatever to learn from their American conferees." Mr. Walker gives figures showing that twice as many passengers are carried on the United Kingdom lines as on the American, though the latter have a nine times greater mileage, while American figures show a much larger proportion of accidents and fatalities to passengers and employees. The large number of accidents at crossings receives considerable mention. Mr. Walker attributes the larger proportion of accidents in America to "almost general absence of block working, and to the fact that the permanent way is neither laid nor maintained in the efficient manner usually adopted by the British railways." He says that in the generality of cases there is no protection at all at the level crossings. The English expert believes that the agitation going on in Great Britain for the adoption of the automatic couplings used in America is not justified by statistics, the old-fashioned screw couplings showing a smaller percentage of accidents to emplores. Curiously enough, the same day that this justification of the British railroad system appears the London Times' Saturday Review prints a letter from a well-known engineer in which the writer makes an urgent plea for the adoption of automatic couplings and quotes the interstate commerce commission's figures as showing that a decrease in the number of accidents had resulted therefrom. The engineer declares that millions are lost to British shareholders by the failure of the roads in Great Britain to adopt up-to-date safety appliances, and concludes with saying: "It is the system in the United Kingdom which is at fault," and urges the government to take action to compel the roads to do what the Americans have done. "In that way alone," he says, "can railway shareholders ever hope for years to reap the undoubted advantages and pecuniary benefits which long ago should have been their portion." A Surprised Physician A dying patient recovers through the interposition of a humble German. Chicago, Nov. 15. Some weeks ago Dr. G.—, a very reputable and widely-known physician, living on C— Street, was called to attend a very complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon arriving at the house he found a man about forty years of age, lying in a prostrated and serious condition, with his whole, frame dangerously affected with the painful disease. He prescribed for the patient, but the man continued to grow worse, and on Sunday evening he was found to be in a very alarming condition. The knees and elbows and larger joints were greatly inflamed, and could not be moved. It was only with extreme difficulty that the patient could be turned in bed, with the aid of three or four persons. The weight of the clothing was so painful that means had to be adopted to keep it from the patient's body. The doctor saw that his assistance would be of no avail, and left the house, the members of the family following him to the door, weeping. Almost immediately the grief-stricken ones were addressed by an humble German. He had heard of the despair of the family, and now asked them to try his remedy, and accordingly brought forth a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. The poor wife applied this remedy. The first application eased the patient very much; after a few hours they used it again, and, wonder of wonders, the pain vanished entirely! Every subsequent application improved the patient, and in two days he was well and out. When the doctor called a few days after, he was indeed surprised. He—"I would die for you!"

THOUSANDS OF WOMEN ARE SLOWLY DYING FROM CATARRH THE CHILDREN ENJOY HAS BEEN THE FARMER'S FRIEND AND A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY. PAIN LEAVES WHEN MUSTANG LINIMENT ARRIVES FOR MAN OR BEAST "I am glad to recommend Peruna as it has done so much for me. I had been a great sufferer from catarral colds until I was urged to try Peruna, and I am happy to say that it has entirely cured me. I shall never be without it and most cheerfully recommend it to others who are afflicted as I have been."—Katherine Dauter, 239 13th St., Milwaukee, Wis. Most people think the success of Peruna depends upon the use of advertisements. Undoubtedly the advertisements help some. But by far the greatest number of people who hear of Peruna, have their attention called to it by a friend. Some one gets cured of chronic catarrh by Peruna. After he is certain of his cure, he is sure to recommend it to his friends. Friend recommends it to friend and the news spreads from tongue to tongue. All the advertisements in the world could not make Peruna as popular as it is. Peruna cures. That is the reason people like it. Peruna cures a very stubborn disease. That is why everyone recommends it. Peruna cures chronic catarrh after all other remedies fail, which explains why Thoughtfulness of a Survivor. Thoughtfulness of a Survivor. Representative Southard, of Ohio, who admits that he does not know many stories, and that those which he tells are generally ancient, recalled the other day an incident which happened up on Lake Erie near his home. An excursion steamer was wrecked, and it was supposed that everybody had been drowned. About midnight Mr. Southard received this telegram from one of the survivors: "I am saved, but please break the news gently to my wife."—Washington Post. "My dear," said the young husband, "did you speak to the milkman about there being no cream on the milk?" "Yes, I told him about it this morning, and he has explained it satisfactorily; and I think it is quite a credit to him, too." "What did he say?" "He said he always filled the bottles so full that there was no room on the top for the cream."—Indianapolis News. All the Advertisements in the World Could Not Make Pe-ru-na as Popular as It Is. Miss Margaret Donnelly, 21 Webster Place, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "Peruna was recommended to me about a year ago for catarrh with which I had been troubled nearly all my life, but which had given me serious trouble a few months before I took Peruna. In two weeks my head cleared up, I did not have headaches, and in a short time felt perfectly well."—Margaret Donnelly. Margaret Donnelly. neighbor recommends it to neigh bor. Peruna cures catarrh permanently, and this way has gained a life-long friend. People who have been cured by Peruna many years ago have been eager to recommend Peruna to their friends ever since. This is the way Peruna is advertised. It advertises itself. Its merits are its chief advertisement. Once cured of so distressing and exasperating a malady as catarrh, it becomes the duty of every one to pass it along; to call the attention of those who are still victims, to a remedy that rarely fails to cure. Beware of Cheap Imitations of Peeru-na—Be Sure That You Get Peeru-na. There are no substitutes for Peruna. Allow no one to persuade you that there is something just as good. The success of Peruna has tempted many people to devise cheap imitations. Beware of them. Be sure that you get Peruna. MissJennieDriscoll, 870Putnamave., Brooklyn, N.

And my convictions were not wrong, for in a few weeks after using Peruna systematically I was entirely rid of this aggravating and distressing disease, catarrh. "If people knew how efficient Peruna was for this trouble they would not hesitate to try it. I have all the faith in the world in it, and have never known of a case where the person was not cured in a short time."—Jennie Driscoll.
