DEC. 27, 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 ‘ta the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. EEE eee Ex-President Cleveland has ther- oughly demonstrated in his activity ‘the fact that he is interested im the education of the southern Afro- American. His recendb address at Philadelphia was indeed a grand one. oer Evidently Americans have (as usual) given the great Italian actress, Ele- nora Duse, the wrong impression ‘as far as tle ability and general intel Jigence of the American NEGRO, or gather Afro-American, are concerned.

Senator Pritehard’s objection to him jbecause of his color or race or be- eause Mr. Vick refused to support @he senator's lost cause, ought not to fhe considerel by the president. The @enator, the “lily white” leader of Worth Carolina, has proven himself @ rank traitor to Vick’s people, the Afro-American republicans of North “wri This fully justifies the po- inaction Pritchard charges him with. Let our leading men in and mear Washington, D. C., impress thie fact upon the president. Loyal Afro-Americans will not support traitors to the race, to please any- body or anything—man or party. WHOSE OX IS GORED? The Memphis Commercial Appeal, apenking of Gor. Luke E. Wright, urmer citizen of thet city, but now ae prserpor of the Philippines, tells ‘some years ogo thet gentleman THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, @., SATURDAY, DECEMBER. 27, 1902. prevented a lynching im Memphis. The Appeal delights in the triumph wor by Gov. Wright nd congratu- lates twself that a brave and courage: ous man was at hand to avert a cagamity so dangerous to the people. It was the suppression of a mob bent on lynching a white man charged with criminal assault. Of course it was an easy matter to quell an out- break of this character, and it was as easy we have no doubt to prevent the mobbing of the Afro-Americans who were murdered in Memphis in 1892. But the poor defenseless Negroes represented a horse of another color, and although Gen. Wright was in the city, his great service and influ- ence were not enlisted to put down a terrible insurrection. It is to be regretted that Memphians were not as thoughtfully humane and law- abiding as when Mr. Wright plead the cause of Iaw and order for a trembling white culprit who had so shamefully outraged the cause of justice. a CAPERS, APOLITICAL ACROBAT. John G, Capers, United States dis- trict attorney for South Carolina, the gold democrat appointed a member of the national republican committee and retained as such for two years past by Senator Hanna, chairman of the committee, to prevent the repub- Tican executive committee of that state from electing an afro-Ameri- ‘ewn ‘to the position, is proving him- ‘self ‘a political acrobat of surpass- ingvagility and one that bears watch- img. He started out a lieutenant of Senator McLaurin (Dem.), whom Hanna and McKinley selected as fed- eral patronage dispenser of South ‘Carolina for the purpose of “lily- -whiting” the republican party of that state, When McKinley died McLaur- in’s and Capers’ political schemes along the line indicated were knock- ed in the head. Then Capers blos- somed out as a weak-kneed “lily: ;white,” and tried to run things, but President Roosevelt. took matters- political in that state into his own hands, wrote his now famous letter anent the still pending Crum appoint- ment as collector of customs at Charleston, and lo! Capers turns a back somersault and hand-spring and lands in what he considers the Roosevelt band-wagon, immediately striving to place himself en rapport with the republican organization o his state, the chairman of which is that loyal and aggressive member of the race, the Hon. E. H. Deas, known near and far as the “Duke of Darling- ton,” and a terror to lynchers like Geo. R. Koester, of South Carolina, who try to hold federal jobs. Let the the president appoint Mr. Deas col- ector, if for any reason he fins it impossible to give the place to Dr. ioe The former has had years’ ex- perience in the federal service of ‘South Carolina and is more entitled to such recognition than any other Afro-American or white republican jn that #tite. ~ x MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS FOR UNTO US A CHILD 1S BORN. Again we make welcome the return of Christmas and the merry holidays. We are glad to commemorate the day which marks the birth of the Savior of Mankind. It was in Eden that humanity forfeited its claim to a life of eternal happiness. It was there that the last hope had perished and man became a human wreck, a wanderer and a pauper, bereft of ‘the vested right of peace and light and joy. He felt the blight of the mighty fall and in the consciousness of his ruined and lost condition, were heard only the low murmurings of hopelessness and despair. But God our Father pitied fallen man and made an offering to redeem him from the curse of a broken law, Years rolled on and on the 25th of Decem- ber, 1902 years ago, Jesus "Christ came from the upper world, ‘pigad our cause, lifted the debt of wa suffered and died and qualified us for Heaven's glorious heritage. From that time till now the people of the Christian world have had their an- nual Thanksgiving and congratula- tion. We love to qnimadvert the scenes, the trials and struggles of the days of our blessed Savior, We are glad to greet our friends and share with them in the rewards in- cident to that proud Augustan age, when Christ came into the world. Unto us was born in the city of David @ Savior. Under a decree from Augustus, Joseph and Mary were turned from their home in Naz- areth to journey toward Bethlehem of Judea. They found only quarters with the animals and there in the manger of a stable was born our Christ, who was to lift up our poor and wretched humanity. Wonderful is ‘the story which records this deed of love. Wonderful indeedis the glory and splendor which hover around that sublime and transcendant event of all the ages. Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, good will toward men. All hail the glori- ous day when our blessed Lord made His appearance on earth. The work of His great mission still lives. We congratulate our friends and our neighbors and we extend happy greeting to ail men in every clime and country, that we live to behold this day. To you, dear friends, we extend our warmest, our most sin- cere and best wishes for long life and many years of unmeasured hap- piness. Let joy continue in your hearts, let gratitude to our Savior abound, and may the love and fellow- ship of men abide among the people now, henceforth and forever. A Christmas Pardon.

St. Louis, Dee, 24.—“Capitalists have a right to do as they please with their money so long as they do not become public charges. “A man without capital may labor or refuse to labor, so long as he keeps out of the poorhbuse. “Capitalists have the right to com- bine capital in productive enterprises and by lawful competition drive indi- vidual producers and small ones out of business. “Laborers and artisans have the right to fopm unions and fight this competition of capitalists by lawful means.” This statement of the right of combination on the part of capital and labor was handed down by Judge C.

Frederick ‘Temple, archbishop of Canterbury and primate of all Eng- land, who had been fll for somt time past, is dead BLOCKADE OF LA GUAINA. to Land All of Her Cargo. La Guaira, Venezuela, Dec. 24.—Ne attempt was made by the blockading ships to stop the steamer Caracas, from New York, when she reached the harbor yesterday. A protest from Lieut. Commander Diehl, of the American warship Mar- ietta, was responsible for the change of base on the part of the captain of the Italian cruiser Giovanni Batsan. He had announced that he would hold up the American liner, and the news was conveyed to Commander Diehl, He sent a dispatch avout it to the navy department and then hustled out to the Italian cruiser. For an hour he was closeted with the Italian commander. What he told him has not developed, but it was convincing, for soon after word was sent to the agents of the Caracas that she could enter. Lieut. Comander Diehl at 4 o'clock in the afternoon endeavored to ob- tain from the commanders of the for- eign warships ‘an extension of a few hours in the time given the steamer Caracas to remain at her dock in or- der that she might finish unloading. His request to this end was refused and he did not insist. The command- ers of the blockading warships ex- plained that they were acting on the orders of the British admiral and that the orders given to permit the Car- acas to discharge more than the mail had been given to satisfy Commander Diehl. ‘The Caracas consequently left her berth at La Guaira when she had landed not more than two-thirds of her cargo. To-day the steamer will cruise before La Guaira and take on, passengers and mail, but on no ac- count is she to enter the port. Mr. Boulton, of Boulton & Co., has en- tered a protest with the American consul and the American minister here against the action taken with regard to the Caracas.

Caracas, Dec. 24.—The port of Coro, which is surrounded on the land side by the revolutionists, is not block- aded. In Caracas this act is believed to mean that the British and German fleets are acting in harmony with the revolutioXists and not blockading Coro in order to allow the free en- trance of Dutch schoohers from Cur- acao bringing arms and ammunition ¢o the rebels. AN IMMENSE UNDERTAKING. An Underground Traction System is Pianned for Chicago. Chicago, Dee. 24.—New York and Chicago capitalists are said to, have joined forces to launch in Chicago one of the most collossal traction ventures the city has known, accord- ing to the Daily News. The scheme is for an underground railroad com- bined with a new elevated road, the cost of the entire project to be from $51,000,000 to $55,000,000, The plan comprehends the con- struction of a tunnel under the down town streets making a complete loop of the business section, to connect wity a new elevated road which it is proposed to construct parallel with ithe existing South Side line, to be reached by means of an incline. The scheme is designed largely to benefit tthe stock yards district. The Inter- borough Rapid Transit Co., of New York, which built the big under- ground railroad in that city, is said to be really at the head of the scheme, backed up by a few wealthy men. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Heirs of a Murderer Can’t Collect In= eatin: denen wnat Washington, Dec. 23.—The question of the effect of murder upon a life in- surance policy when issued upon the life of the murderer was yesterday passed upon by the United States su- preme court. The case in which the opinion was delivered was that of 8. 'M. Burt vs. the Union Central Life Insurance Co. William E. Burt, of Travis county, Texas, was the name 6f the man insured. His policy was made ‘payable to his wife, Anna M. Burt, and in case of her death, to his executors. ' During the following year Burt's wife died and he afterwards was charged with her murder and was found guilty and executed. After- ward the heirs of the estate made an effort to collect upon the policy, but the insurance company resisted pay- ment. The lower courts sustained the protests of the company and yes- terday’s opinion holds the policy in- valid on the ground that to sanction payment under the circumstances would be contrary to public policy. It Is a Fake. Washington, Dec. 24.—Having been informed by the consul of Costa Rica at New Orleans that a lottery under the name of “Loteria de la Benefi- cienea Publica of Carrillo, Costa Ri- ea,” has been advertised as being es- tablished there, the Costa Rican lega- tion says that no such lottery exists in any part of that country.

The Brownell club opening was quite an affair. A large orchestra was present. Messrs. Lewis Buchanan and George Black are proprietors. The Bachelors' club is undoubtedly the "swellest" local social organization and a credit to our young people. It has an up-to-date official staff as well as membership. Mrs. C.

Ellarson, of Brooklyn, N. Y., has been standing in the columns of this paper for some time, thereby showing that he desires our patronage. Dr. Ellarson occupies the old stand of Dr. Shea (deceased), and can do for you all that Dr. Shea could, and even more. Mr. L. Walter Thompson is now living in Boston, Mass., where his sister, Mrs. Lettie Drummond, and mother reside, and has secured a splendid position with one of the leading glass houses there. Walter has many friends here who will be delighted to hear this. He is an expert in his line. Bishop Walters said in Richmond the other day that the Lord took McKinley away to place in his stead a better man. It is well you waited so long to say it. But then McKinley said so himself: "It is God's way, His will not ours be done," and then asked that his murderer be not hurt. Be it as it may. We have a better man—Press. Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina, is a worse man than Ben. Tillman. Tillman speaks out, while Pritchard acts under cover of the meanest hatred, and that to the people who once believed in and voted for him. Next March, when he dies as United States senator, a central bonfire should be had in honor of it. —Press. Bishop Wm. A. Davenport (M. E. connection), of Jacksonville, Fla., will spend Christmas with his son, S. A. Davenport, of 14 Allen street.

Mr. Davenport has houses to rent in several parts of the city. Call on or address him at 14 Allen street. We agree with Brother Smith, of the Cleveland Gazette, that the weakness of our newspaper men to "Judge, Col. Professor and Honororable" colored men who get a justice of the peace's place, a valet to some big white man, or professor if he can spell, by blundering through John Comley's speilers shows how silly most editors are and how light their upper stories are.

Gilmer, colored, be given a captaincy in the regular army. Gilmer, who at present has a position in the office of Recorder of Deeds Dancey (Washington, D.

The legislature has been making appropriations to the various institutions of the state. Among the many appropriations made only one of them concerned our people, and that was the amount of $8,000 given to the Georgia State Industrial college. Many persons seeing this item may think it came direct from the state, but not so; this is a part of the federal appropriation given direct for the higher education of colored youths.

Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all trouble and estrangements, unites the separated and causes speedy marriages. $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc. with description of future events. She will be in describing missing friends, enemies etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your deathy—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—pass present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUTURE will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their children; children should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Macmane is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, you should contact someone, who will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success. For advice by letter $1.00. All letters must contain stamps. SIMMONS & BASS. W. R. Gregory, Mgr. Cleveland, Ohio.

Wonderful Richness of the Soil of Western Canada Has Turned the Tide of Immigration. The great strides which Western Canada is making, and the wonderful richness of the soil, is creating considerable excitement, not only in Canada, but in the United States and Great Britain. The large crops of the past two years, with phenomenal yields, have enacted a movement towards the west, which will not be checked until every available homestead is taken. The Edmonton Bulletin, one of the "farthest north" newspapers, in a recent article on the Northwest as a wide and open field, says: "There must be fertile soil, there must be a suitable climate, there must be the possibility of building up a modern civilization; and the conditions must be such that labor can reach the land; or in other words, land must be cheap. The Canadian Northwest contains the largest unbroken area of country on the continent, or in the world fulfilling these conditions. In its thousand miles of plain which stretches from the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky Mountains Canada is able to offer land to the landless of the continent, and of the world. This year (1902), the only complaint, over all the vast stretch of territory, of the farmers and ranchers, is that the railways have not sufficient rolling stock to move to market the returns of the past season. The area under crop in Western Canada in 1902 was 1,987,330 acres. Yield 1902, 117,922,754 bushels. Wealth waits on industry in Canada. There is Plenty of Room. Prices have advanced in Western Canada 50 per cent. in the last two years, and the upward movement seems still on. The migration into Canada is becoming notable. Somebody has estimated that 25,000 acres of Canadian land are sold a day to people from the United States. Whatever doubts there have been as to the suitability of the Canadian Northwest for settlement, those doubts have been set at rest by the successive yields of previous years, and by the crowning glory of the past year (1902), which gives solid assurance as to possibilities that would not otherwise have been believed. The fact of the grain production of the past season in Manitoba and the Northwest, 117,922,754 bushels from 1,987,330 acres, and that a certain number of farmers have produced a greater value of wheat, oats, and cattle for sale than any other equal number anywhere else in the known world, is the best possible answer to the question: "Is there wealth in the Northwest?" Not only in the Northwest but in the whole country has there been prosperity. The Canadian Northwest is not all alike in its production. Wheat growing is the specialty of one part, cattle ranching of another, and mixed farming—the growth of grain and live stock together—of still another. Speaking roughly, the southeastern parts of the Territories and Manitoba are wheat growing; the southwestern part of the Territories is ranching, and the northern part of the Territories is mixed farming. Differences of soil, climate, and other conditions are the causes of these differences in agriculture in the various sections. But it is safe to say that in no other area of the world is there an equal possibility of the production of wealth from the soil, whether by one branch of agriculture or another.

"I felt so weak and sick that I felt sure that I could not survive the ordeal. The following week I read an advertisement in the paper of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in such an emergency, and so I decided to try it. Great was my joy to find that I actually improved after taking two bottles, and in the end I was cured by it.

The symptoms of inflammation and disease of the ovaries are a dull throbbing pain, accompanied by a sense of tenderness and heat low down in the side, with occasional shooting pains. The region of pain sometimes shows some swelling. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1902. SHORT NEWS NOTES They Come From Many Parts of the World. Information of Recent Date Collected in Various Ways and Condensed for the Convenience of Our Busy Readers. CONGRESS. On the 18th the house passed the bill to reduce the customs duties on Philippine products coming into the United States from 75 per cent. of the present rates to 25 per cent. of those rates. Consideration of the pure food bill was begun. The senate was not in session. By a vote of 72 to 21 the house on the 19th passed the pure food bill, which prevents the adulteration of foods or drugs in the territories and regulating the inter-state traffic in all adulterated foodstuffs or medicines. The senate was not in session. On the 20th both houses of congress adjourned until January 5. No business of importance was transacted in either branch. The dead letter office at Washington is just now overwhelmed with work. In addition to an avalanche of improperly directed Christmas packages, which come in by every mail, there are being received thousands upon thousands of letters written by children in all parts of the country and addressed to Santa Claus. Wall street brokers are discussing the story of a lucky stroke by a careless trader on the stock exchange during the recent slump. The trader had an order to buy 1,000 shares of a stock at 70. Instead he sold the stock by mistake, and after it had had a drop of five points he discovered his error. He thereupon executed the order for his client five points below the price named, covered his 1,000 short shares and made $5,000. The custom clothing manufacturers of Chicago have issued an ultimatum that all their employees will be locked out December 26 unless the cutters consent to sign or arbitrate a working agreement framed by the firms. Owen McCarton, a rich reeluse of Oceanic, N. J., 70 years old, is dead. For 30 years he had not crossed the threshold of his dwelling between sunrise and sunset because of an election bet. During the presidential campaign of 1872 between Grant and Greeley, McCartoon was one of the latter's supporters. He made a bet with a friend that if Grant was elected he would not leave his house except during the night, as long as he lived. McCartoon lived up to his wager. More than $50,000 worth of bronzes, ivory carvings, bric-a-brac, old silver and rare old glass, belonging to some of the most famous collectors of New York City, is now held up at the seizure bureau of the New York custom house because of alleged undervaluations by the shipper, a collector of Baden Baden. Judge Lewis and his wife, an aged couple, have been found murdered in their home on a lonely road six miles south of Almira, Wash. The motive was robbery, as the safe, in which Lewis was known to have kept a large sum of money, had been broken into and emptied. They were killed with an axe, which was found nearby. Oil has been discovered oozing from the banks of the Coon river near Grant City, Ia. A quart bottle of the oil sent to Ames college for analysis is said to have been found to be 80 per cent. pure. A jury in the superior court at Brockton, Mass., has awarded Frank J. Cashin, of Springfield, $37,000 in his suit against the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co. for injuries received as a passenger in the Avon railroad wreck in 1901. He brought suit for $75,000. Six miners whose names are unknown were crushed to death in a mine at Inman, Va., while pulling down some pillars. Three women were perhaps fatally injured and 57 other passengers were bruised or shaken up in a trolley car accident in Weehawken, N. J. A jury at Elizabethtown, N. J., has rendered a verdict of $5,000 damages against David Flemming, who while playing on the Lake Placid links last summer threw his golf stick at his caddie, causing the loss of sight of one eye. The caddie brought suit for $10,000. In the Englewood, N. J., hospital, is an old woman who was thought to be penniless, but who turns out to be worth $40,000. She is Mary Ganagher, 65 years old. She was taken from an old barnlike structure on the outskirts of Fort Lee, which she had made her home for eight years. For a month Miss Anna Peck has been unconscious at Phelps, N. Y., and her physicians think that if she weer regains consciousness her mind will be a blank. Miss Peck and her sister, Mrs. Van Husen, were struck by a New York Central train, last month, and the girl's condition is the result of the injury she received. The monthly statement of the collections of internal revenue shows that the amount for November was $19,285,357, a decrease as compared with November, 1901, of $3,823,593. Fifty passengers on train No. 302, on the Burlington road, running from Denver to Deadwood, S. D., who had been buried beneath ten feet of snow for 24 hours, were rescued the other night. It took a relief force of 50 men from Sidney, Neo., 15 miles away, ten hours to make it possible to move the train. The Retail Cigar and Tobacco Dealers' Association of Greater New York has decided to begin its active campaign against the American Tobacco Co. The members of the association pledged themselves not to purchase any new brand of tobacco from the company after January 1, 1903. At Reading, Pa., Antonio Taddai, an Italian, aged 17 years, who on July 4 last shot John Trayer, Edward Hartman and Samuel Stitzel, young men who had assaulted him after having tried to pick a fight with him, while he was playing a street piano, and all three of whom subsequently died from their injuries, has been acquitted in court. Taddai claimed self-defense. The worst snow blockade for years is being experienced on railroads in northwestern Nebraska. All over that part of the state a storm raged incessantly for two days and snow is piled many feet deep. Henry Clay Frick is to succeed Charles M. Schwab as president of the steel trust in January, according to a report in Wall street. It is said that this is a part of the price the trust paid Mr. Frick for his interest in the Union Steel Co. Four of the Reading company's collieries in the Schuylkill region are flooded. The Knickerbocker, Elangowan and Maple Hill workings near Shenandoah and the Good Springs colliery at Minersville, Pa., are idle as a result of the recent heavy rains. The best record of long sustained speed on the Pennsylvania lips west of Pittsburgh was made recently by the Pennsylvania's New York-Chicago special in a run from Crestline, O., to Fort Wayne, Ind. The distance of 131 miles was made in 123 minutes, including four full stops. A dispatch from New Marghelan, Russian Turkestan, reports that the earthquake at Andijan killed 2,500 people in and near that city and destroyed 16,000 houses. The rumblings continue. The authorities so far have not been able to cope with the destitution of the starving populace. Unknown parties attempted to dynamite a Slavish boarding house at Springfield, Pa., the other evening. The building was partially wrecked, but the 14 occupants escaped unhurt. The men are employed at the American glue works and it is alleged the motive that inspired the throwing of the dynamite was revenge for a number of the foreigners having taken the places of other workmen at lower wages. Rev. E. M. Mills, of Rochester, N. Y., corresponding secretary of the Methodist Episcopal thank offering fund, says that every dollar of the $20,000,000 called for three years ago has been raised in cash and pledged. "It is time to organize," is the keynote of circulars to manufacturers sent throughout the country by D. M. Parry, of Indianapolis, president of the National Association of Manufacturers. He has found his text in various resolutions of the recent American Federation of Labor convention at New Orleans. The circulars are directed more against organized labor in general than against the eight-hour law bill which Mr. Parry has attacked in circulars recently. The pope has signed the appointments of Bishop James E. Quigley, of Buffalo, N. Y., as archbishop of Chicago, and Rev. J. F. Canevin, rector of St. Paul's cathedral, of Pittsburg, as coadjutor bishop of Pittsburg. An advance in the price of window glass to the trade has been announced by the jobbers' association. Just why the advance is made when the recent order for glass was placed at a fraction below prices ruling last season, is not known. The jobbers under the last contract secured a $2\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. reduction. United States Commissioner Benedict, of New York City, has ordered the deportation of 1,200 Chinamen who had not been registered under the exclusion act. Four masked men made a daring attempt to rob the White River bank at Loogoootie, Ind. They robbed a hardware store of arms, ammunition and explosives, captured and bound two restaurant clerks who had attacked them with knives, and then proceeded to the bank. They had knocked the knob off the bank safe and were about to insert a charge of dynamite when they were frightened away. At Valley Junction, Ia., burglars dynamited the safe in Miller's drug store, securing $3,000 in money and checks. Persons living above the store were not awakened. A material increase in the number of cases of pneumonia among the people of Washington is attributed to the coal famine, according to a number of physicians. They say that in most of the houses they visit only a few of the rooms are heated. Even in many of the houses of the well-to-do residents furnaces have had to be abandoned. Jacob Buthern, 67 years old, has been removed to a hospital in Brooklyn, N. Y., from his old home, where he was found lying alongside the dead body of his brother Michael, 73 years old, who is supposed to have died from starvation. Fire at Beatrice, Neb., destroyed the Masonic temple, causing a loss of $125,000. Gen. Francis Vinton Greene has been appointed police commissioner of New York City in succession to Col. Partridge, whose resignation takes effect January 1. Within a few days Miss Mary O'Brien, aged about 30, living in East Longmeadow, Mass., has suddenly recovered the power of speech, after being dumb for 14 years. She has since talked almost incessantly while awake and her mind seems disordered. Negotiations have practically been consummated whereby an eastern syndicate, of which J. Pierpont Morgan is a director, has obtained control of all the coal mines and coal property west of Green river in Kentucky, except that owned by the St. Bernard Coal Co. The consideration is $8,000,000. The statistics of the patent office for the year ending December 31 show that more patents have been issued to residents of England than to people in any other country of Europe. The patents issued to English inventors during the year numbered 399, with Germany next in rank with 143 letters patent. While A. W. Williams, of Hartford, Conn., and his wife were at dinner in the Westminster hotel at Los Angeles, Cal., the lock of one of the doors leading into their apartments was picked, their trunks broken open and $3,000 worth of jewelry stolen. At Fort Smith, Ark., Miss Agnes Frizzel, plaintiff in a slander case, suddenly interrupted the court proceedings by firing a revolver. The bullet barely missed Col. Brizzolara, counsel for the defense. A. C. Root, the defendaut, fled from the court room and at his own request was imprisoned for safety. The butter fish factory and warehouses of the Escanaba (Mich.) Wooden Ware Co. have been totally destroyed by fire. Loss estimated at $150,000. Several hundred men, boys and girls were employed in the factory. The association of boot and shoe manufacturers of France, representing extensive industries of Paris, Lyons, Marseilles, Limages, and other places, has decided to immediately advance the scale of prices for footwear. This was made necessary by the gradual monopoly of the raw material by Americans. A Drunken Keeper At Coney Island Causes Much Excitement With His Bad Elephant. Frederic Alt, keeper of Topsy, a bad elephant borrowed from Barnum & Bailey, terrorized Coney Island the other day by running amuck. Alt had been drinking, and, mounting the beast, he sped through the resort, brandishing a pitchfork. Crowds poured from all the resorts along the line and followed the elephant and her wild driver. The police were notified, and soon half a dozen, afoot and on horseback, led the pursuit. Topsy outfooted even the horses, and Alt laughed mockingly at his pursuers. Down near Sea Gate, however, the elephant stopped and the driver jumped from her neck. Man and beast faced the on-coming crowd, the man saving his pitchfork and the elephant slowly swinging her trunk. "You are under arrest," said Policeman Conlon, as the crowd halted in front of the big animal. "Get out!" said Alt, with a laugh. "If you don't go away I'll sie the elephant on you." Conlon's pistol was out in a flash and leveled at the head of the animal trainer. "If you say a word to that brute I'll blow your brains out," he said. "Come along now." Alt looked at the elephant and then at the pistol, and said: "All right." At the station Alt spoke to the elephant. In an instant Topsy was in motion, and the court house shook as the pachyderm mounted the five steps and stuck her trunk and head through the door. "Stop her!" simultaneously yelled Sergt. Levis and Capt. Knine. "Halt!" shouted Alt, just as the door jambs began to give under the strain. Topsy stopped. She looked inquiringly at her master. Alt stood in front of the desk grinning. Capt. Knipe and the sergeants held a council of war. They decided to compromise. Alt was asked to take the elephant back to her proper place and the police promised to call the arrest off. FIGHT TO DEATH IN MIDAIR. A Desperate Battle Between a Hawk and Snake Costs the Lives of Both and Snake Costs the Lives of Both. Mack Ball, a keeper of the poorhouse in Grantsville, W. Va., witnessed a thrilling fight in midair between a blacksnake and a chicken hawk. The hawk fluttered down from the top of a mountain acting as if it had been wounded, and when it came in range he could see that it was fighting with a snake which was wrapped about its body and gradually squeezing the life out of it. The snake would poke its head up as if to bite the hawk in the head, and the hawk would peck at the snake with its sharp bill. The fight was continued until the life was almost crushed from the hawk, which then fell to the ground. Mr. Ball examined and found the snake wrapped three time around the hawk's body, the bones of which were crushed and broken. Both bird and reptile were in the throes of death. Each had killed the other in their mid-air battle. It is supposed the hawk had attempted to carry the snake away in its talons, and that the snake coiled about the hawk and began its fight for life. NOBLE SCION ABANDONED. New Born Babe and 14,000 France Dropped from Automobile in a Village in France. An automobile stopped the other day at a village near Fontaine-le-Louvet, in the department of Eure, France. A traveler got down, bearing a voluminous packet, which he deposited at the side of the road. Some farm laborers stopped to examine the packet, when the automobile went off at full speed in the direction of Paris. The packet contained a new born babe, together with fourteen bank notes for 1,000 francs each and a sheet of paper containing the words: "Whoever takes care of this child till its majority will have his happiness assured for life on condition that he never seeks to penetrate the secret of its birth. It belongs to one of the most noble families of England." There are plenty of people who have become depressed and discouraged, because that dry, hacking cough hangs to them continually. They have taken much medicine, mostly of the advertised quick sort, nothing like Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, the discovery of a noted German physician. We do not say that this will cure a case where the lungs are badly diseased, for it will not, and up to this date, there is nothing that will cure under these conditions; but on the other hand, if the lungs are not hard hit, the patient should take Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, a cup full every night on going to bed, have it hot, drink slowly, then every other night, rub the throat and top portion of the lungs with St. Jacobs Oil, cover with oil silk, let it remain an hour, then remove. Eat good, plain, nourishing food, live in the open air as much as possible. By all means sleep as near out of doors as possible, that is, windows wide open, except in the very severe weather. Take a cold sponge bath every morning; then immediately take the body vigorously with a coarse towel! Take Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Drops every other day according to directions. One can buy the three remedies for $1.25 of any reliable druggist. Begin the treatment at once, and see how much better you will be almost within a week's time.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is—Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.—is printed on the front of every package. In order to get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine only.
