STILL SHOWING THEIR UGLY HAND. The southern whites are continually making claim that they are the Negroes' best friends. Persistently, and despite all the cruelties and persecutions which they have so long heaped upon the Afro-American, they insist that they are the friends of the colored people of the south. 'To-day the feeling of enmity and prejudice swells the volume of caste and proscription. They have no scruples in boldly declaring their friendship and good will toward those whom they wickedly seek to humiliate. By no act on the part of the colored people do they find themselves a part of the body politic. Known as citizens entitled to all the rights and privileges of a common government, yet they are goaded and hounded by the white people of the south with a viciousness that is at once appalling to say the least. Though the better impulse of humanity revolts against these outrages, still the south insists that they are the only best friends to the Negro. But the southern whites are unlike a generous, a humane and Christian people, and are incapable of dispensing a kind and magnanimuos treatment to those whom they so much despise. Blind to the nobler sentiments of humanity, they utterly fail to bestow the ordinary amenities even of a barberous race. They tell the nation and the world that they are our best friends. But in the face of present manifestations on the part of the southern press a most bitter animosity is again made palpable. Only a few years ago it was customary for the leading southern press to announce their readiness to support a southern Negro for office in preference to a northern carpet-bagger. Their attitude then would seem to indicate a feeling of partiality to the Afro-American. But the almost universal protest that is now being made against Negro governmental officials betray the basest hypocracy from that same people once professing friendship for the black man. The truth is, that the southern white man felt no sincere desire for the welfare of the Afro-American and today we need no better proof of their own bad faith than what is seen in their recent utterances and treachery dealings. Southern disfranchisement reveals the mad apostacy of these professed friends, but the argument now urged that Negroes shall not be allowed to fill official positions nor serve as jurors proves the perfidy and real intent of the southern mind. They go so far as to censure and denounce the president because he has reappointed Dr. Crum, a capable Afro-American, as collector of customs for the port of Charleston. They now impugn the motives of the president in his appointment of men of color to official trust, and they signify their purpose and intent to discourage and defeat, as far as possible, the appointment of Afro-Americans to any place of emolument under the government. The truth can no longer be disguised that the professedly fair dealing and Christian white people of the south are openly and unblushingly opposed to the Afro-American being anything more than a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. It is idle to believe that they are even willing to allow him to be what God and nature designed him to be or that he shall enjoy and improve his own possibilities. More recently the southern whites dared not avow their intentions. Today they have openly declared themselves. THE LYNCHINGS DURING THE PAST EIGHTEEN YEARS. The Chicago Tribune gives the statistics of crime for the year 1902 and enumerates the lynchings in the last eighteen years. Of these lynchings for 1902, 87 occurred in the south and nine in the north. The alleged criminal assaults were 19, attempted assault 11. The facts at hand prove beyond question that the tendency to lawlessness has been inspired through a wonton disregard for the lives of the poor and weaker class whom the law dares not defend. Crimes are as possible in the north as in the south. But it is not true that the most flagrant crimes have been committed in the north, nor that black men have been the actual assailants, as is alleged. On the contrary, this lawlessness has arisen through hatred, fury and passion, which spurred the bad element to the perpetration of mob violence and murder. We have all along inslsted that as many innocent men (if not more) have suffered through lynch law as the guilty. The spirit of the mob found its origin and growth in the south. It emanated mainly from a beastly feeling of spite and animosity toward the so-called inferior race. The mere fact that this race has aspiration and a desire to rise, at once is awakened a disposition to oppress and destroy them. Reason as we may, or adduce whatever seeming proof we may in palliation of the brutal outrages imposed upon the Negro, it cannot be denied, that in almost every city, town and village in the south there is a disposition to restrain him of his just rights and privileges as a citizen even at the sacrifice of his life. The charge that the Negro is a born criminal and brute cannot be sustained in the face of the long array of facts in his favor during the last one hundred and fifty years or more in this country. The south is replete in scheming, and has entered into a dastardly conspiracy to humiliate and outlaw the Afro-American since he is no longer to be regarded as a slave. The idea to them is most repulsive, that a Negro shall be regarded as a citizen upon equal terms with them under the law. Hence to consummate the ends of the conspiracy, that his humiliation and worthlessness shall be assured, the worst element of the south is enlisted to affect and complete his ruin. It is quite remarkable that of the alleged criminal assaults in the north, the Negro is found to be no more involved than white men, yet in the south he is criminated and butchered without trial, judge or jury, and that, too, without the slightest evidence to confirm his guilt. Prior to the past eighteen years such criminal charges were unknown, but from 1884 down to the present time an unparalleled record is given out to blacken and anathematize the name of a race hitherto without blame or censure in this respect. In all the years of the two and a half centuries of his dark and wretched history nothing so lamentable and unnatural in his life has been charged against him as the alleged crimes during these past eighteen years. Does it not appear that something outside the order of nature has conspired against him? Having schools, colleges and churches and a growing wealth to aid in his elevation and the perfectability of a high moral nature, his place in the social compact was all the more reassuring. But designing villainy, realizing the growth of a universal and equal citizenship as well as a more exalted manhood on the part of Afro-Americans, finds in this the only approximate and absolute reason for the torturing and burning of black men. GOD'S PUNISHMENT. The V. M. C. A. of Cleveland as Conducted by Secretary Shurtleff a Sort of a Religious Farce -The Bailey Co. Grossly Insulted-Trustee Palmer's Statement. The burning of the Y. M. C. A. building on last week Wednesday evening, even in part, ought to be taken as evidence by Secretary Shurtleff and his assistants that God Almighty is displeased with an alleged Christian organization that draws a color-line. It was about ten days ago that the association, after asking the Bailey Co. to recommend five of its employees for study, refused to accept one of the five recommended, merely because of his race or color. It refuses to accept our youth as members. This, however, has been the rule only since the advent of Secretary Shurtleff. Some of our young men who were members of the institution before his coming were dropped afterward, and the others would be let out if he dared to do so. Great Christianity this! Our only wonder is that God Almighty does not cause the entire building to be burned. In a conversation some months ago with Mr. Palmer, a trustee of the institution, he quoted some of Booker Washington's talk to justify the discrimination and said, "although a church man," he too thought the word Christian should be dropped from the name of the association. What a gigantic farce from a religious standpoint is the Cleveland Y. M. C. A. under the direction of Secretary Shurtleff! If the managers of the association do not soon overrule Shurtleff's color-line nonsense, it may not be long before God Almighty will send a fire that will destroy the entire building. Who Begins Practice of the Law as Plaintiff, Not Counsel. New York City.—Doane McMahon, a law student, recovered in the supreme court last week an award for $250 against Morgan Ross (white), proprietor of the Hotel Imperial, and Joseph McMullen (white), the hotel detective, for false arrest and imprisonment. McMahon sued for $10,000. He came on here several years ago after graduating from Oberlin college to enter a law school. While studying he served as a bellboy in the Imperial to pay his expenses. A guest's watch was missed and he was arrested and locked up over night. The next morning he was discharged for lack of evidence. Here is a pointer for other Afro-American hotel employees so treated.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1903. WAS ON-THE FIRING LINE In the Spanish-American War as Well as in the Philippines. C. W. Cordin, a oright, intelligent young colored man, a former resident of Norwalk and nephew of the late Francis Cordin, of this city, was in the city Monday and paid The Reflector a pleasant call. Mr. Cordin, while a resident at the Sandusky home, also represents The Cleveland Gazette, the organ of the colored people, as collection and subscription agent. Mr. Cordin, who wears a soldier's uniform, is a veteran of both the Spanish and the Philippine wars. He was a member of Company K, Seventh U. S. colored infantry, in the Spanish war and in the Philippines, where he served for two years and ten months, he was a member of Company B, Twenty-fifth U. S. colored infantry. He was discharged from service at San Francisco, January 21 last, and has been a resident of the Sandusky home since last May. The Twenty-fifth regiment was the command with which Lieut. William T. Schenck (a son-in-law of Gen. E. R. Kellogg) was connected as first lieutenant of Company K, being afterwards brevetted captain for gallant service at the battle of Santiago. Mr. Cordin knew Lieut. Schenck very well and speaks of him in the highest terms, saying that that he was a very brave and gallant officer, a man who knew no fear, who was always ready for duty and who was one of the most popular officers in the command. Cordin tells The Reflector that he was with a detachment of the Twenty-fifth about 20 minutes' walk from the scene of the conflict where Lieut. Schenck and his men, a detail of 20 men from each company, were attacked by a large party of Filipinos in ambush and where Mr. Schenck and a number of his men shot through the forehead. Cordin and his men reached the point of the attack and made a fierce assault on the Filipino lines, routing and driving them back several miles, with many killed and wounded. A detachment in the meantime was left in charge of Lieut. Schenck's body and those of his men who were killed. When Schenck's body was found he had nothing on but a pair of trousers. He had on, when going into the fight, Cordin says, a suit of kahki, with a sword and side arms, a silver flask and some other personal effects, and also four $20 gold pieces in his pocket. The sword and flask were returned to his relatives, the flask being sent by a Filipino general, who obtained possession of it and who wrote a letter to Mrs. Schenck, in which he spoke in the highest praise of Mr. Schenck's daring and bravery. Mr. Cordin, while in the Philippines, was in ten general engagements and many skirmishes. We are glad to be able to state that Mr. Cordin will favor The Reflector with some account of his experiences in the Philippines as a soldier in Uncle Sam's army.—Norwalk (O.) Reflector, THEY TOOK HEROIC ACTION. Citizens of Bellevue, O., Seized Seve- ral Gorceuda of Florida eral Carloads of Coal. Toledo, Jan. 14.—A special to the Times from Bellevue, Q., says: "The fuel situation in Bellevue on Tuesday reached an acute situation and a conference of the mayor, councilmen and coal dealers was held. It was learned that there were eight cars of anthracite coal in the local yards of the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad and it was decided to confiscate the coal. The fire bell was rung and the mayor and councilmen, followed by a small army of citizens armed with shovels marched to the railway yards and unloaded the cars in record-breaking time. The mayor issued orders with the village seal and the coal was distributed to citizens through the local dealers at the rate of $8 a ton. "A further search was made and several cars of soft coal were found and unloaded in a like manner. About every wagon in town was pressed into service and the work of delivering the coal was kept up until midnight." A Murder Mystery. Carbondale, Ill., Jan. 15.—Developments at West End, where the 9-year-old son of Frank Stucker is alleged to have killed his mother and then killed himself, point to a double murder and the exoneration of the boy. Notwithstanding that the mother in a statement an hour before death said her son was her slayer, the members of the coroner's jury after being discharged said that the child was not guilty. Opinion is general that an unknown third person is guilty. To Please the Best Sugar Men Washington, Jan. 15.—The senate committee on foreign relations has agreed to recommend the adoption of an amendment to the Cuban reciprocity treaty providing that the reduction of 20 per cent. in the tariff on Cuban sugar shall not be further reduced by any preferential rate given to another country. This action was taken at the instance of the beet sugar men. Dayton Shows Greatest Gain Dayton Shows Greatest Gain. Washington, Jan. 15.—The receipts of the 50 largest postoffices of the United States for December, 1902, as compared with December, 1901, show a net increase of 14 per cent., or $734,235. Dayton, O., showed the largest increase, almost 34 per cent., and Los Angeles ranks next with over 32 per cent. New York City's receipts aggregated $1,289,111 increase, or 15 per cent.; Chicago $852,186, increase 9 per cent. Fire Made Orphans Homeless. St. Louis, Jan. 15.—A defective flue in the Christian Orphan Home caused a fire yesterday that imperiled the lives of the 100 little inmates, but all were rescued. A 3-year-old child was found, unconscious from suffocation, but was later resuscitated. The fire spread rapidly and when extinguished had caused such damage that the building may have to be reconstructed. Began War on Coal Dealers. Began War on Coal Dealers. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 15.—After much investigation for a number of days, Prosecuting Attorney Hunt yesterday filed an information in the Wayne circuit court against the Detroit coal exchange, an organization of 30 local coal dealers, charging violation of the state anti-trust law of 1899 and asking for an injunction.

Too many of the kind seem to be "lighting" in Cleveland in recent months. We must help in some way to rid the city of such trash. In a letter just received from W. Y. Ransom, of Pasadena, Cal., for many years a resident of Cleveland, he writes that there is a good chance there for ladies who know how to cook and do housework. They can get from $20 to $40 a month. There is a better chance for women than men. Pasadena is also a good field, he says, for hair dressers and manicurists. Mr. Ransom lives at 134 Dayton street. Expenses are fairly high. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Rawles, citizens of Cape Town, South Africa, were in Cleveland Sunday and were entertained by Mrs. H. Wilson, at No. 1 Buckeye street.

At the Old Folks' Home association call meeting on last week Friday afternoon at the home, George Myers was requested to turn over his list of subscribers for publication in the daily papers by the association, and did so. He then brought forward a letter asking the public for more money, and said that as the people were already under the impression that Mrs. Belle Bolden was treasurer, "why not let it go so?" But this suggestion did not meet the approval of the members. Then Mrs. Belle Bol THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1903. den felt hurt, shed tears freely and said: "As there seems to be a feeling of discord, I refuse to have my name used as treasurer," Myers made another plea for her and suggested that Mrs. Bolden's name be signed to his begging letter as treasurer of the entertainment committee. This was permitted. A number of the members are getting tired of Myers' officiousness, not being a member, and are tiring of some other things, they say. Hot times are predicted in the near future.

A posse of white brutes of Boent River, according to information received by the post office department, served notice on Charles Jackson, the rural delivery carrier, not to return to that town with the mails under penalty of death.

The department has ordered a post office inspector to investigate the case and will settle with the aforementioned cowardly brutes. Rearrested the Mayor.

MARVELOUS MEDIUM, Gives the names of dead and living friends, tells who and when you will marry, also of business, journeys, lawsuits, absent friends, health or anything you wish to know, no matter what it is. He asks no questions, don't ask you to write the name for him. Don't try to pump you in any way but you might. He is thoroughly enlarged by leading Spiritualists everywhere; received from them a gold medal and special license to practice his wonderful powers; credentials no one else can show; can give thousands of references to both white and colored patrons. Twenty-five years' practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell you what business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to keep your body healthy. How to be successful in all your doings. In short what is best to do. He succeeds when all others fail. Positive help and satisfaction or no pay. Call and see. You will find it lucky to consult this refined Christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients, not knowing it.

His aid and advice have often been solicited, the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriage and all your wishes. In love affairs he never fails. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there are a class of men and women who claim powers they do not possess. They have neither gifts, credentials, nor references. Surely the colored people are not so wanting in sense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR. SHEA refers to the Hon. Charles Miller, capitalist, 2481 Atlantic avenue; the Hon. Wm. Denmore, architect and builder, 47 Cleveland avenue, and Arthur Sewell, ship builder, South Brooklyn. All have known him for the past seven years. He gives a stands thoroughly the diseases, spells or influences the race is subject to. He is now and always has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: "BROOKLYN, June 1, 1892.—This is to certify I came to New York from Albany. I was a stranger in a strange city, out of work and out of money. I had no luck in anything I undertook. I had to do a job, and I advised me to go and see DK, SHEA. I did; he told me the cause of all my trouble; he took me in and treated me like a brother. Through him I got a good position that very week. I had been to others; they took my money and did me no good. I bless the day I first met DK, SHEA. I would advise all of us bad luck, old trouble, to go to him at SHEA; sincerely, ALBERT AYERS, 2937 Atlantic avenue." "SOUTH PLAINFIELD, Aug. 15, 1891.—This is to certify that my husband had gone away and been absent two years. I mourned for him, night and day. I gave him up as dead, Hearing of the wonderful things DR. SHEA was doing, I resolved to consult him. He told me my husband was alive and well and where he was; he told me he would come home and when. To my joy all of it came true. He is home now, come back like one from the dead. I also wish to say that this woman the day she was born, I was por and I was most insane. I went to DR. SHEA and he told me I would find my money and to my intense joy I found it as he told me. I thank God there is a man in our midst that can help people and tell them what to do. Sincerely, MRS. MARY MILLER, South Plainfield, N.J. A Sensation in Brooklyn—A Minister's Statement. "I wish to记住 that one of my parishioners was sick and in trouble for a long time. Ms. Brown, 37 Gay street. No one seemed to understand her case. She had several doctors, but none of them seemed to know what was the matter. None could do her any good. It was my duty as her pastor to call and see her. Hearing of the wonderful work being done by DR. SHEA, the last few years, I thought I would call to see him myself. I found him a kind, sympathetic gentleman. He gave me a wonderful test of his powers; told me to send him a lock of patient's hair, which I did by hand. He was the matter, and in a short time cured her sound and well. Her family had seemingly been under a cloud. Now, all is changed. All are well and prosperous. I can truly and heartily recommend DR. SHEA to all those in sickness or distress of any kind. REV.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured me after doctors had failed, and I want other girls to know about it. During menstruation I suffered most intense pain low in the abdomen and in my limbs. At other times I had a heavy, depressed feeling which made my work seem twice as hard, and I grew pale and thin. The medicine the doctor gave me did not do me one bit of good, and I was thoroughly discouraged. The doctor wanted me to stop work, but, of course, I could not do that. I finally began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and felt better after taking the first bottle, and after taking six bottles I was entirely cured, and am now in perfect health, and I am so grateful for it." — MISS GEORGIE MENARD, 537 E. 152nd St., New York City. — $5000 forfelt if original of above letter proofing guaniness cannot be produced.

An uptown reader tells of the "break" made by a little tot of the family who was one of a party of little girls at a recent strawberry festival in the vicinity of her home. She had been valiantly boasting of the manifold advantages of belonging to her family, and had managed to hold her own against the vainglorious and ingenious discourses of her companions, relates the Philadelphia Times. They had gone from clothes to personal appearances, then to interior furnishings, then to the number of tons of coal consumed in the home of each during the last winter, and finally brought up at parental dignity. The minister little girl boasted: "Every package that comes for my papa is marked 'D. D.!'" "An' every package that comes for my papa is marked 'M. D.!'" retorted the daughter of a physician of the neighborhood. Then came a fine snort of contempt from the heroine of this anecdote. "Huh!" she exclaimed. "Every package that comes to our house is marked 'C. O. D.!' There now!" "A lawyer and a doctor were conversing. The doctor said: 'Your profession doesn't make men angels, sir.' The lawyer answered: 'No, it is yours which does that.' The anecdote is 2,000 years old," said Dr. Keen, "and is reputed to be the parent of all the myriad of medical anecdotes that now exist."

The Chinese gunboat Kwongyuen, which was sent against the West river pirates after the attack on the junk in which Mr. Evans, a Britisher, was murdered, found a pirate steam launch towing two captured junks and sent her boats against the pirates, who drove back the boats, killing three men. The gunboat then opened fire with Gatlings, sinking both launch and junks. The pirates tried to escape to shore by small boats, but every one was sunk and the pirates drowned.

Active operations will shortly begin toward the erection of the largest gas plant in the world in the Astoria section of Long Island City. The plant will cover 300 acres, and it will probably take five years to complete its erection. At Sour Lake, Texas, a new oil gusher broke away from the drillers and is spouting a solid stream of oil. It is estimated that the well is running 75,000 barrels a day and the quality of the oil is much superior to that hitherto found in the field.

Rockefeller, in purchasing nearly all the land in Pocantico Hills, East View and Hawthorne for a series of parks, is planning a chain of artificial lakes, to be formed by the historic Sleepy Hollow brook, which runs through his large estates near Tarrytown, N. Y. Several waterfalls have been constructed along the brook. Mr. Rockefeller intends to spend more than $200,000 on this work. The railways in St. Louis have set aside about $85,000,000 to be expended in improvements in that city. Many of the extensions are already under way and the great bulk of the enormous sum will be paid out before the opening of the world's fair. William Shepherd, a carpenter of Lynn, Mass., while dredging for stray pieces of coal along the water front, is reported to have come across a lump of ambergris valued at nearly $2,500. A remarkable revelation of child labor in New York City is about to be made, which will show that more child labor exists in New York than in all the states of the south combined. The facts on which this revelation is based have been gathered in the last six months by the child labor committee of New York. Two new Cumarders have been ordered. Each of them will cost $6250,000. It is stipulated that they shall be ready for their maiden voyage in June, 1905. The vessels must do 26 knots for six hours and 25 knots for two days continuous steaming.

The other 21 lodgers escaped, saving only their night clothes. Managers of all the western railroads have agreed upon a plan to effect a great reduction in operating expenses. The plan is to reduce the speed of freight trains about 20 per cent., so fewer but longer trains can be hauled, thereby reducing the cost of transportation.

The increase of wages granted is estimated at $180,000 a year by the company and at $250,000 by the men. Ten per cent. is the average advance provided for. After two years' experimentation with nickled steel rails, the Pennsylvania railroad has decided to place them on the heavy curves through the Allegheny mountains. An order for 5,000 tons has been given at a cost of $370,000. The nickled steel rails cost nearly three times as much as rails of standard steel.

Y., for stealing coal, was found by the warden to have strapped around his legs over $220 in bills. Asked why he did not buy coal with his money, he said the dealers refused to sell to him and so he stole it, and that, as he did not believe in banks and had to carry the money, he thought he might as well use it to protect himself from freezing. The senate on the 14th passed the bill abolishing the tariff duty on coal for one year. The house also passed the coal duty bill. the coal duty bill. HEALTHY WOMEN MISS. ELIZABETH UBER MISS.: SYBYL A. HADLER A. MRS. M.J. BRINK FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH A Serious Mistake Which Thousands Are Making. The first stage of catarrh is what is commonly known as "catching cold." It may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes so severe as to cause a chill and considerable fever, or it may be so slight as to not hinder a person from his usual business. In perhaps a majority of cases little or no attention is paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence it is that nearly one-half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form. To neglect a cold is to invite chronic catarrh. As soon as any one discovers Insurance Haa Ita Humor. An enterprising insurance agent induced an Irishman to take out an accident policy for his wife. A few days later, while conversing with a friend in his office, he was startled to see the Irishman rush in, brandishing fiercely a stout cane. "Ye rascall" he yelled, springing toward the agent, "ye wanter cheat me?" Fortunately the enraged man was disarmed and held fast by the agent's friend, who was a powerfully built man. The Irishman, struggling to get free, shouted: "Let me git at the spalpeen.

Unless this is done the cold is almost sure to end in the second stage of catarrh, which is making so many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has a cold or cough, chronic catarrh would be practically an unknown disease. Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. 67 Bassett street Albany, N. Y., writes: street, Albany, N.

"I have always dreaded unsettled weather because of my extreme liability to catch cold, when a catarrhal trouble would quickly develop through my entire system, which it would take weeks to drive away. I am thankful to say that since I have taken PERUNA I do not have any reason to dread this anymore.

Constipation Mull's Grape Tonic Cures Con When the sewer of a city becomes stopped up into the streets where it decays and rots, s creating germs through Constipation Will Undermine Your Health. Mull's Grape Tonic Cures Constipation. When the sewer of a city becomes stopped up, the refuse backs into the streets where it decays and rots, spreading disease-creating germs throughout the entire city. An epidemic of sickness follows. It is the same way when the bowels fail to work. The undigested food backs into the system and there it rots and decays. From this festering mess the blood saps up all the disease germs, and at every heart beat carries them to every tissue, just as the water works of a city forces impure water into every house. The only way to cure a condition like this is to cure the constipation. Pills and the ordinary cathartics will do no good. MULL'S GRAPE TONIC is a crushed fruit tonic-laxative which permanently cures the affliction.
