Brannigan, of Columbus, and Miss Mattie Matthews were married recently and have located here. Persons sending local items for publication must also send their names, so that we may know who the writers of the notes are. Miss Mary Vance died Saturday at Lakeside hospital, at the advanced age of 84 years. Mrs. Vance lived in the rear of No. 618 Euclid avenue. Wm. N. Alexander, formerly of this city, left New York on the steamer Araphoe Friday for Florida, where he will be chef for Mr. Carnegie until June. The Gazette has received an invitation to attend the full dress party to be given by the Eureka Social club at Ashton hall, Sharon, Pa., on December 11. Music by the American orchestra. Calvary Baptist mission will begin its regular services at 148 Scovill avenue, near Perry street. Preaching at 11 a. m. and 7 p. m. Rev. F. G. Brookins, late of Antioch Baptist church, pastor. Invitations are out announcing a reception in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Fairfax's twentieth wedding anniversary on Thursday evening. November 27, at their home, 43 Calvert street. Read the letters from Florence, S. C., and Chattanooga, Tenn., published elsewhere in this paper, and learn what Senator Hanna has done to our poor, suffering people in the southland. It is enough to make one's blood boil—even that of some of the political slaves in the little black Tammany. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Abernathy, of Detroit, lost their little girl, Helen, by death about the first of the month. The little girl had been ill in Harper's hospital with diphtheria and had recovered, but died at t.e hospital the day she was to come home from overjoy. Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy are well known here. At St. John's church to-morrow the pastor will preach morning and evening. Sunday-school at 9:30 a. m. and C. E. meeting at 6:30 p. m. The stewardess board will serve dinner at the church Thanksgiving day, and in the evening a concert will be given. Some of our best local talent will participate, including Mrs. Kittie Mitchell and Mr. Fred Hackley. The interest at St. Andrew's church is growing rapidly under the pastoral care of Rev. Edward S. Doan, who is doing excellent work. The choir has over 20 members and special music is rendered at each Sunday evening service. Miss Madah Toles sang beautifully "The Saint and Sinner" Sunday evening. Mr. Fred Hackley will sing to-morrow evening. Herbert L. Taylor and A. H. Bowman, the well-known musician, both Afro-Americans, are business agents of local No. 8, of the Building Laborers' International Union, and the Musical Mutual Protective association of Cleveland, respectively. Both are also members of the legislative committee of the United Trades and Labor Council of Cuyahoga county. Rev. F. G. Brookins has organized the Calvary Baptist church with 75 members. They will worship in the Scovill avenue wigwam until the church building on Calvert street is vacated, when, it is said, they will permanently locate there. Rev Brookins did not accept the anticipated charge in St. Louis, owing to the desire of his Cleveland friends that he remain here. Our people here should feel a certain pride in those of their race who establish businesses for themselves and should give them their united support Mr. S. Grant, custom tailor, recently went into business and is located at 490 Central avenue. He makes a specialty of ladies' tailoring. Also repairs on short notice. When having anything in the line of tailoring to do, call on Mr. Grant. Andrew D. Pratt has received an appointment as porter in the cloak room in the house of representatives. The salary is $60 a month. Congressman Beidler got the place for him. The rot in the daily press of Wednesday in connection with this appointment about the Central Republican League (no such thing exists), is ridiculous. There is no league; only a small club made up of the eight or ten members of the little black Tammany. The editor of The Gazette received last week from Shepard N. Edmonds, another of his new songs, entitled "I Was There, and I Had No Business to be There." Mr. Edmonds was a singing comedian with the Williams & Walker Co., season of 1901. The song is making a great hit in New York. Jos. W. Stern & Co., 34 E. Twenty-first street, New York, are the publishers. Mr. Edmonds is a Columbus boy, instead of a Cleveland, as was stated in a recent issue. Justice Cooney's court was filled to the doors with our people Saturday. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1902. Cassie Malone, of No. 44 Gundry alley, sued Henry Bailey .or $8.50, alleged to be due for room rent. `After lengthy and verbose testimony had been given by numerous witnesses, Justice Cooney rendered a verdict of $7 for the plaintiff. Immediately a storm of protest arose from the defendant's friends. One old man came forward and made a post-verdict oration and his eloquence in behalf of Bailey was so potent that the justice reduced the judgment from $7 to $4. Miss M. Pearl LaVan, of Toledo, was a delegate to the Kingdom conference at the Euelid Avenue Baptist church, which convened here the 17th to the 21st. She represented the Third Baptist church of her city. The conference met to discuss foreign, home, state and city missions from the view point and in terms of the Kingdom of God. Tuesday was young people's day and Thursday was ladies' day. Able speakers from this and foreign countries were present. Miss LaVan was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. James Starkey, of Sterling avenue. Williams & Walker, "In Dahomey," composed and written by Messrs. Will M. Cook, J. A. Shipp and Paul L. Dunbar, at the Lyceum theater last week, were seen at their best. The first named was funnier than ever, and Walker cleverer. Both music and book of "In Dahomey" are above the average of musical farces. All the other members of the company were exceptionally proficient. The theater was packed to the doors throughout the week's engagement. Mrs. Walker was not with the company again this season. We understand that she is in New York ill. Pete Hampton and Geo. Catlin, in the old man character and as a Chinaman respectively, and an acrobat, who was simply wonderful, as well as Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Mcintosh, were the brightest lights of the company outside of the principals. An employment agency is being conducted by Mrs. J. D. Jackson at No. 628 Central avenue. 'Phone M. 2077 (Cuyahoga). The Gazette moved into new and far better quarters on Tuesday afternoon—No. 2 Blackstone building, Seneca street, corner Frankfort. Remember the address. Elsewhere will be found the ad of Mrs. J. K. Rector, publisher of Rector's pictorial chart, "The New Negro for the New Century," with facts, theories and statistics. The price is only $1, and Mrs. Rector desires at once agents for the chart, a splendid thing. The Church Has Deteriorated. Washington, Pa.—Rev. M. F. Easton, pastor of Zion church, preached Sunday night on the burning of live human beings in a Christian land. Text, Isaiah 21:11. He said in part, "Live human beings are being burned in a Christian land, while a Christian press is apathetic and the church silent. That the nation is morally degenerating, obvious evidences are plentiful. If the church really stood for what it pretends to stand for, these conditions could not exist a single month. The church is cowardly cringing in the dust before an unrighteous public sentiment, created by the world, instead of creating a righteous public sentiment which makes for peace and good government. The church has deteriorated into a mere money machine where men are paid high salaries to talk pleasant things about a far off world, which none of them ever saw and few of them will ever enter." Doing a Good Business. Wilmington, O.—Miss Sadie Buster, of Martinsville, is visiting Mrs. Garrett Buster. The Buster Bros. have a large patronage in their restaurant and barber shop.—The Gazette's representative had a pleasant interview with Dr. Newsome and Prof. Stewart. The former is enjoying a lucrative trade and the latter is meeting with success in his school. Both enjoy the confidence and esteem of the entire populace.—Mr. Chas. Stewart will have The Gazette for sale at his barber shop each week. Anyone wishing papers or having news items can give orders to him by calling up 'phone No. 297. Patronize him. C. W. CORDIN.

Hon. David Meekison is well known not only in his own State, but throughout America. He was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of the State. Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman. Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue. He writes: "I have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly benefited thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if I use it a short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of thirty years' standing."—David Meekison, Member of Congress. 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.

EQUAL TO THE OCCASION. An Invitation in Business Form That Met with an Acceptance in Kind. A Baltimore woman, the belle of her set, was much surprised not long ago, says the New York Times, to receive an invitation of which the following is the substance: "Mr. Blank presents his compliments to Miss Dash, and requests the pleasure of her company at the theater Thursday evening next. "Awaiting and hoping for an early and favorable reply, we are, yours very truly, "Blank & Co." The writer of this remarkable effusion is a young business man who is a partner in a large furniture concern. He attends to a large proportion of the correspondence of the firm, and, of course, signs the firm's name thereto. So absorbed was he in business that he concluded his invitation with the sterotyped sentence above, and, to cap the climax, signed the firm's name to it. The fair recipient, however, appreciated the situation, and the young man was thunderstruck to receive a letter addressed to him personally, but containing the following reply to his invitation: "Messrs. Blank & Co.: Your favor of recent date to hand and contents noted. In reply will say we accept the proposition therein made and hold the goods ordered subject to yr. further instructions. Very respectfully, Miss Dash & Co." Explanations and apologies followed, and the invitation was duly accepted, but the matter was too good to be kept a secret, and for some time after life was made a burden to that young man. Even the meaningless query: "How's business?" sufficed to drive him frantic. A TRADER'S SPORTY EQUINE. The Horse Was a Setter and Would Work on Fish as Well as Game. A shrewd Yankee horsetrader, after years of success of a kind to make David Harum look small, got badly cheated on a nag so feeble and spiritless that it squatted like a jack rabbit every time its ribs were touched. The new owner felt very sore, but determined to do what he could to retrieve. He invited a deacon of the village church for a ride, and himself rode the new horse, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Seeing a rabbit he jabbed the horse with his heels and the animal promptly squatted. When the deacon inquired the cause, the trader explained that the horse had the faculties of a setter and set whenever he saw game. A rise of partridges brought forth another manifestation, through the trader's heels, and then the deacon insisted on trading his own horse and $50 for the sporting equine. On the way home the deacon rode his new purchase. Fording a stream, he raised his feet to keep them dry and accidentally jabbed the horse in the ribs, whereupon the animal sat down in the water, wetting the rider from feet to chest "What's the matter, Zeke?" called the deacon. "He can't see no birds nor rabbits now!" "Fish, deacon," explained Zeke, solemnly. "That critter's sport thru' and tnur'!" "Cure the cough and save the life."

At San Francisco, on City of Para. Thousands of Indians Aphyxylated or Buried in Sand—Volcanoes Still Spontling—Robbers Murdering Refugees on the Road. San Francisco, Nov. 20.—The first of the refugees from the devastated lands of Guatemala arrived yesterday on the Pacific mail steamer City of Para. They came from the districts from the inland sea and traveled over a country laid waste by sand, ashes and pumice before reaching a railway station. From the latter places they made the journey by rail to Chambperco and there took the steamer to San Francisco. They sailed on November 7, when the volcano was still smoking and rumbling of thunder and flashes of lightning gave evidence of more eruptions to come. These people fled from their plantations in fear for their lives. They escaped to the seaside with little more than the clothing they wore, transportation being so difficult as to preclude of carrying off baggage. The refugees confirm stories of the loss of life. They say that the victims, for the most part, are Indians. They had not heard of any white people being lost. Thousands of Indians were asphyxiated or buried in the sand. Miles of plantations are under ashes and absolute ruin is the lot of many planters whose all was invested in the Fincas. One refugee comes from within a half an hour's ride of Gen. Barillos and brings the information that the general and his family are safe. The refugees say that it is not the crater of Santa Maria that is in action, but a smaller mountain rising from one of the western slopes of Santa Maria, called El Fosaio. Bands of robbers are now swarming the depopulated sections, robbing and murdering refugees on the road and looting the abandoned and desolate plantations. The people left behind on the plantations, it is said, are in danger of death from starvation, for the food supply has been cut off, and there is no way to send in supplies to the afflicted districts. The steamer City of Para met evidences of the volcanic eruption soon after leaving Odos. Great quantities of pumice were found floating on the water. Word had been received from Mazatenango, on the outskirts of the ruined territory, that Santa Maria opened a crater on the west side near its base, and not far from Helvetia, and belched forth volumes of ashes and lava over Tolhu. It was noted afterwards that several more craters in the neighborhood of the mountain had opened up and all were spouting volcanic debris over the plantations of the district. All the territory about Palmer, San ripe, Pueblo Nuevo and Retalquies were buried under ashes. Many of the plantations were buried under from five to seven feet of debris and all hope of ever reclaiming them had been given up. The entire neighborhood for miles was a burning wilderness. CORN MILLING. American Financiers Contemplate the Expenditure of Millions to Push the Industry in Ireland. Washington, Nov. 20.—Consul General H. Clay Evans, of London, has sent to the state department the following clipping in regard to the corn milling in Ireland: "A statement is made today to the effect that a group of American financiers contemplate the expenditure of a large sum of money, estimated at from one to three millions sterling, in connection with the Irish milling trade. This industry has practically succumbed to the invasion of foreign flour, the great bulk of which is imported from America. The new scheme, if successfully carried through, will stimulate the industry, as new mills, it is stated, are to be erected in all the more important centers of Ireland. The capital is, according to a well known local merchant, set down at $20,000,000. It is intended by the syndicate to turn out 5,000 tons weekly in Belfast; in Derry, Galway, Cork and Waterford, 3,000 tons each, and in Dublin 5,000 tons, making a total of 22,000 tons." Railroad President Resigns. Philadelphia, Nov. 20.—President Alfred Walter, of the Lehigh Valley railroad yesterday tendered his resignation to the board of directors at the regular monthly meeting of that body, to take effect Nov. 30. The resignation was accepted. The only explanation of President Walter's action that could be obtained from the directors was that differences of opinion existed between the president and the directors regarding the management. Mail Order Amended. Washington. Nov. 20.—The postmaster general has amended the order of March 30, 1901, so that hereafter gifts or souvenirs of a dutiable character addressed to people in the military and naval service, etc., in the Philippines, cannot be admitted into the mails for those islands without paying the usual duty thereon. Similar articles, however, addressed under similar circumstances from the Philippines will continue to be admitted to the mails whether dutiable or not. Died Very Suddenly. Toledo. O.. Nov. 20.—I. B.

THE TEST OF TIME. Mrs. Clara J. Sherbourne, Professional Nurse of 257 Cumberland St. Portland, Maine, says:— "I heartily wish those who suffer from some disturbed action of the kidneys would try Doan's Kidney Pills. They would, like me, be more than surprised. My back annoyed me for years. Physicians who diagnosed my case said it arose from my kidneys. When the grip was epidemic, I was worn out with constant nursing, and when I contracted it myself it left me in a very serious condition. I could not straighten nor do the most trivial act without being in torture. The kidneys were too active or the secretions were too copious, and I knew what was wrong, but how to right it was a mystery. It seems odd for a professional nurse, who has had a great deal of experience with medicines, to read advertisements about Doan's Kidney Pills in the newspapers, and it may appear more singular for me to go to H. H. Hay & Son's drug store for a box. But I did, however; and had anybody told me before that it was possible to get relief as quickly as I did I would have been loth to believe it. You can send anyone who wishes more minute particulars about my case to me, and I will be only too glad to tell them personally. As long as I live I will be a firm advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills." Cure Confirmed 5 Years Later. "Lapse of time has strengthened my good opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills, first expressed in the spring of 1896. I said then that had anybody told me that it was possible to get relief as quickly as I did I would have been loth to believe it. Years have passed and my continued freedom from kidney complaint has strengthened my opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills and given me a much higher appreciation of their merits." A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mrs. Sherbourne will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Custer was slain by a Sioux warrior by the name of Appearing Elk, according to Rev. Philip Daloria, of Flora, S. D., formerly a Sioux chief, but now a minister. Rev. Mr. Daloria gives the solution of the Little Big Horn mystery of 1876 in the words of Custer's slayer himself. Appearing Elk died last spring after having told his story to the minister: "I have been the means of converting an old warrior named Appearing Elk who was in the fight at Little Big Horn in which Gen. George A. Custer fell," said Mr. Daloria the other day. "Appearing Elk gave the following account of the massacre: 'We had surrounded the last cluster of soldiers. I discovered that I myself was wounded. Suddenly a man in blue loomed up in front of me. I knew that he was a chief, but I did not know who he was. He was swaying like a drunken man from exhaustion and loss of blood from many bullet and arrow wounds. I felled him with my tomahawk and then sat on his body to be sure that I should not be robbed of my rights." "In order to make doubly sure I took the revolver from the holster of the dead man and stuck it in my belt. When there were no more soldiers left alive the noise ceased and the dust lifted. I was still sitting on the body. I didn't scalp the man. Afterward I learned he was the chief of the white men." LIFE-SAVING GLOBE Novel Invention of a Norwegian Picked Up in the English Channel by a Tug. A demonstration of the efficiency of a novel life-saving invention has taken place in the English channel, cables the London correspondent of the New York Herald. About four miles off Folkestone, a tug sighted a strange object in the water. Upon coming nearer it was found to be a large globe. From a manhole on the top a man's head projected. The tug went alongside and two men emerged from the globe. They proved to be the inventor and his assistant, both Norwegians. According to their story, the globe, which is composed of aluminum, was put overboard from a steamer off Havre Tuesday and since that time it had been knocking about the channel with its two occupants. The inventor claims that it satisfied all requirements and explanations, and demonstrated its service-ability for saving lives at sea. The tug towed the curious craft to Dover, where it attracted much attention. It is about eight feet in diameter. An air shaft is provided with a water pump, sail and rudder. Its capacity is claimed to be sufficient for 16 persons, together with 850 pounds of food and 1,100 pounds or water. PRIEST'S AIRSHIP IN RACE. Rev. Felix M. Lepore's Machine, Built Like a Bird, Accepted for English Contest. Rev. Felix M. Lepore, pastor of the Mount Carmel Italian Catholic church, Denver, Col., has been notified by the committee in charge of the $250,000 prize for airship competition offered by Mettz, of London, that his machine is one of the three so far accepted for the race out of hundreds of applicants. The inventor will not divulge the details of the ship. "After looking to every detail of the matter," said Father Lepore, "I came to the conclusion that a powerful machine, one with more force than the strongest wind, must be utilized to have the desired result. "The machine will be arranged on the plan of a bird. For instance, when an eagle comes in contact with a fierce current of air he does not battle against it, but closes his wings, and with beak pointing downward cuts through the wind area. My machine will be built on the same plan as the mechanism of a bird. The propellers can be either lengthened or shortened at the will of the operator." The grace to do small things may be greater than the gift of doing great things.—Ram's Horn. A TRULY GREAT IDEA. Brilliant Suggestion for the Improvement of the Flagging Game of Football. The supporters of football are assembled in convention, says the Baltimore American. "Gentlemen," says the spokesman, "something must be done to add interest to the game. I regret to acknowledge that in recent years, despite our efforts to wound maim and kill, the sport has twindled in public favor. No doubt this is because of the increase in the number of wars, and the familiarity of the public with injuries from that cause; also because of the growth of the automobile fad. Hence, as I say, we must do something to put more ginger in the game. The point is, what snail we do?" Here a shaggy haired man arose in the rear of the hall and begged for a hearing. "Gentlemen," he said, "I represent the Russo-American society of anarchy, and am also an enthusiastic football playgr. It occurs to me that if the ball were filled with dynamite instead of air it would—" But the rest of his remarks were simply drowned in a furious explosion of mad aplause.

Tired Nervous Mothers A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and shattered nerves caused by some derangement of the uterine system with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiet with her children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she cannot do better than to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and enable her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet, will themselves become quiet. Mrs. May Brown, of Chicago, Ill., says: How Mrs. Pinkham Helped Mrs. McKinny. "DEAR MRS.
