Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, the second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, JAN. 31, 1903. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The executive committee of the National Afro-American Council, with Bishop Alexander Walters as its head, is a positive quantity. Its praise of President Roosevelt and request that the United States senate confirm the appointment of Dr. W. D. Crum as collector of customs at Charleston, S. C., are timely. We sincerely regret our inability to be present at the committee's important meeting on Monday last in Washington, D. C. The Washington (D. C.) correspondent of the Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate needs to be told anent the Louisiana political situation prior to and at the St. Louis republican convention, that Senator Demas (deceased) was a consistent McKinley advocate long before that state selected its delegates and was true blue from start to finish, voting for the president's nomination at the convention in St. Louis. Demas is dead and there seems no one to defend him against the charge of being an "ingrate." We do not believe it and know to be a fact what we have stated above relative to Demas' McKinley course. President Roosevelt's greatest mistake thus far was made in following McKinley's new southern policy as long as he did. That Indianola postoffice affair was a direct result of the appointment of a democrat to the best federal position in Mississippi and making the same individual the federal appointment referee for that state. As in the case of Mississippi, so with South Carolina and other southern states where the loudest and longest howls against the appointment of Afro-Americans to prominent positions, are made. The president, it seems, has seen his mistake and is benefiting by the same. We trust that he will keep that Indianola postoffice closed longer than MoKinley did the one at Lake City, S. C., where Postmaster Baker was murdered. NO MINCING OF WORDS IN THE CAUSE OF JUSTICE. Again comes another southern outbreak, at least what seems to be, because ex-Congressman H. P. Cheatham was made the guest of President Roosevelt at his late reception. But the act becomes all hollow mockery and painfully ridiculous on the part of the intelligent white people who claim to be a God fearing people. We do not believe in mincing words when defending principle and an incontrovertable truth. The southern Bourbons who continue to make this unrighteous fight against the Afro-American as a citizen are either right or they are wrong. If they are right, then God and nature and the constitution are all wrong. But reason and the world prove to the contrary and had it so been at the time of the planting of the American colonies, that this country had been saved from the curse and iniquity of human slavery, to-day the people of these United States might have been as just, unbiased and fair dealing as the English or any other nation on the globe. The truth is, the southern whites are concerned to seem to be, what in many respects they know they are not. Many are by birth and raising, the inferiores of thousands of our people in America, yet in ignorance and shame, they make white a badge of their superiority. With them, the most depraved reprobate finds favor more readily than the purest and best of Afro-Americans. In the face of such a condition of things, it is hardly possible to find a more pititable betrayal of the cause of humanity. Douglass, Bruce, Lynch and foreign ministers have attended the receptions of former presidents. The Afro-American stands forth as an American citizen with no apology to make. He has never, like some white men under the government, forfeited his right to an equal part in the affairs of the nation. No traitor's hand has been lifted by him to despoil the noble fabric cemented by the blood of the fathers and dedicated to the cause of universal freedom. Never in all the history of the republic has he shown other in his life but the purest patriotism and the most unfaltering and uncompromising loyalty. At each and every call of his country he has shown himself only too willing to offer his life in defense of the nation. On the other hand his assailants have been tried, weighed in the balance and have been found wanting. Why now this brazen and unmatched audacity that strikes at the best men of the race and of the republic? It matters nothing that the best and noblest of the race are invited to become the guests of presidents, but it certainly reflects no high honor to brave men to be associated with those who would betray the cause of their country. HIS REAL HANDICAP Of the Afro-American Mechanic - A Thoughtful Review. H. E. Thomas, instructor in the machine and engineering department of Tuskegee institute, writes as follows of our mechanics, in the Southern Workman for November. "There is perhaps no public statement made which is so harmful to the courage and aspirations of the colored youth in our industrial schools and other institutions as the oft-repeated declaration that the labor unions of the northern states are debarring colored mechanics from the various mechanical vocations. There are numerous localities, both north and south, where the union movement has never existed, and yet we find the same scarcity of colored mechanics that we find in the union cities, especially in the trades requiring considerable skill. Any great amount of work on the part of labor unions to debar colored workmen would be time lost and energy wasted, since the number of colored skilled workmen is so small in the entire country as to warrant no consideration. "To those conversant with conditions in the industrial world, it is known that the handicap of the colored mechanic in securing employment is not so much due to labor organization as it is to prejudiced foremen in control of the various lines of work—men whose ability is in the direction of bulldozing and "driving" rather than in that of skilled management. I have known a number of instances where these "fossils of former days" have objected even to a colored man passing through their departments. Fortunately, rapid improvements are being made in our industrial system, and many establishments are introducing ideas of social and industrial betterment among their employees which will call for better and broader men as foremen and superintendents, and the "rapid drivers" are being replaced by young men of training and honesty of purpose." GOD'S PUNISHMENT. The Y. 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 recently, even in part, ought to be taken as evidence by Secretary Shurtleff and his assistants that God Almighty is displeased with an alleged Christian organisation that draws a color-line. It was not long 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 it. Great Christianity this! Our only wonder is that God Almighty does not cause the entire building to be burned. In a convention 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. The daily press of the city is either under Y. M. C. A. influence or too cowardly to take up this matter. For a year or more we have tried to get it to do so. They will not give publicity to the facts stated above. SHAME!!!

MINERS' CONVENTION. Mr. Mitchell Is Re-elected President -Reports of Defense Fund and Injunction Committees-An Increase in Wages Demanded. Indianapolis, Jan. 27.—The report of the tellers on the recent election of national officers of the United Mine Workers, by the recently taken referendum vote was made Monday, showing that John Mitchell, who had no opposition for president, received 55,032 votes and W. B. Wilson, who had no opposition for secretary-treasurer, received 56,251 votes. Vice President T. L. Lewis, of Ohio, was re-elected over T. D. Nicholls, of Pennsylvania. The special committee on defense fund recommended the establishment of a large defense fund, but did not deem it advisable at this time to establish a national fund. Owing to the unorganized condition of the miners in many of the districts, it was thought best to continue the ten cents per month assessment for another year. The committee advocated that each district accumulate and maintain a fund until it becomes sufficiently large to meet any crisis. The report of the special committee on injunction went into the history of the operation of injunctions and after showing the abuses to which the injunction had contributed, recommended that President Mitchell appoint a committee of two to go to Washington and use its influence to secure the passage of the anti-injunction bill. The special committee is also instructed to get the record of every senator and representative on the bill. Indianapolis, Jan. 28.—The mine workers completed their business and adjourned yesterday. The convention has been the most harmonious ever held. Many important measures have been acted upon. Among them are the formulation of the demand for an increase of wages of $12\frac{1}{2}$ cents flat per ton on a run-of-mine basis and a flat differential of seven cents per ton between pick and machine mined coal. The conference will be held with the operators Friday. The operators have signified their willingness to grant an increase of wages in many instances. VENEZUELA'S TROUBLE. Blockade to be Raised Soon-Part of Receipts of Two Ports Will be Collected by a Joint Commission of Powers to Satisfy Claims. Washington, Jan. 27. — Minister Bowen, acting for Venezuela, in return for the raising of the blockade pledges 30 per cent. of the receipts of the ports of Porto Cabeilo and La Guaira, the same to be collected by a joint commission made up of one representative from each of the powers having claims against Venezuela. London, Jan. 27.—In addition to the offer of part of the customs of La Guaira and Porto Cabello as a guarantee Mr. Bowen informed the powers that several New York banks had expressed their willingness to undertake the payment of the first claims demanded by the powers, upon the basis of such guarantee. Mr. Bowen did not say whether he had made a definite arrangement with any particular banks, but as soon as the powers hear of the consent of reliable houses to guarantee the payment of the first claims the blockade will be raised. This is expected to be within two or three days. Berlin, Jan. 27.—Only a portion of the Venezuelan revenues will be available for the payment of the claims, because of the large part already hypotheticated as security for foreign loans. Washington, Jan. 28.—The powers are yet haggling over the details of Mr. Bowen's last proposition to them regarding the lifting of the blockade and the guaranty he is prepared to offer. The first joint conference of the Venezuelan negotiators occurred Tuesday at Mr. Bowen's apartments. The question under discussion was a matter of the merest detail, the envoys wishing to know whether the monthly payments to the allies should be in proportion to the amount of the claims, or whether Great Britain, Germany and Italy would receive the same amounts each month until the indemnity was paid. PRINTING TRADES. Final Details of the National Compact Arranged. Indianapolis, Jan. 29.—At the closing session of the national conference of the representatives of the printing trades of the United States, the final details of the national compact, which has been entered into, were arranged. A joint board of appeals will be organized, which will probably consist of the presidents of the International Typographical union, of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' union, of the International Brotherhood of Bookbinders and of the International Stereotypers and Electrotypers' union Under the new agreement, each of the organizations will maintain an individual existence, but all disputes which may arise concerning the use of the union label or sympathetic strikes, will be referred to the board of appeals. No organization is bound to enter upon a sympathetic strike until called upon to do so by the executive board of its organization. Ran Into a Washout. Portland, Ore., Jan. 26.—The Atlantic express, which left here Saturday night over the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Co.'s line, was wrecked by a washout, Sunday, two miles east of Bingham Springs. Engineer Patty and Fireman Milligan, both of La Grange, were killed, and several passengers were slightly injured. Heavy rains had melted the snow in the mountains and all the rivers, and streams are rushing torrents. One hundred and fifty feet of track were washed out and the train ran into the washout in the darkness. A Killer Is Killed. Middlesboro, Ky., Jan. 26.—Henry Cummings, notorious among the highwaymen of the mountains, met death from ambush before daybreak here Sunday on one of the principal streets. James Adley Turner, who was walking with him, was shot in the arm. The assassins are unknown. It is common report that Cummings killed John Gorham, president of the United Mine Workers' union two years ago, Greenwood Ward soon afterward, and about a year ago Branham Elam, while the death of others is generally attributed to him, FAMINE. Treasury Department Asked to Deal Liberally with Vinkland Immigrants Treasury Department Asked to Deal Liberally with Finland Immigrants. Washington, Jan. 29.—The treasury department has received a letter from the management of the Christian Herald calling attention to the present destitute condition of a large part of the people of Finland and asking that immigrants from that country be given special consideration by the immigration officials at New York. The compliance with this suggestion the department has instructed the New York authorities to construe the laws as liberally as possible in the cases of these arriving Finns who are being forced out of their country to escape famine. The record shows that about 1,700 Finns arrived in this country in December. A Letter from the President. Toledo, Jan. 29.—A letter and autograph photograph was received by Mayor Jones Wednesday from President Roosevelt. The letter and photograph were for the memoers of the Stanislaus Sphschalski family in which quadruplets were born January 5. There were two girls and two boys and one of the boys was named Theodore Roosevelt for the president. It is more difficult for a man to behave well in prosperity than adversity.—Rochefoucauld. $8 A DAY easily made handling our line. Special offer closes in ten days.

SHEA, MARVELOUS MEDIUM Gives the names of dead and living friends, tells who and when you will marry, also of business, journeys, lawsuits, absent friends or health or anything you may need in order to be happy. He asks no questions, don't ask you to write the name for him. Don't try to pump you in any way, but tells you right off. He is thoroughly endorsed 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 do your hard work. How to be successful in all your doings. In short what is best to do. He succeeds when all others fail. Positive help and satisfaction or no pay. Call and see. You will find it lucky to consult this refined Christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients, not knowing it. Thousands through him are now RICH, HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL in all their undertakings while those who neglect his advice are still laboring against poverty and adversity. Through his perfect wisdom he has been able to you a secret that will overcome your enemies and whn you friends. His aid and advice have often been solicited, the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriage and all your wishes. In love affairs he never falls. He has the secreta sex 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 $\textcircled{1}$ 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 sense of urgency to all. He understands thoroughly the diseases, spells or influences the race is subject to. He is now and always has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING; "BROOKLYN, June 3, 1892.—This is to certify I came to New York from Albany. I was a stranger in a strange city, out of work and out of money. I had no luck in anything I undertook. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see DR. SHEA. I did; he told me the cause of all my trouble; he took me in and treated me like a brother. Through him I got a good position that very week. I had been to others; they took my money and did not. I did; he met me DR. SHEA. I would advise all in bad luck, slick or in trouble, to go to him at once. Sincerely, ALBERT AYERS, 2937 Atlantic avenue. "SOUTH PLANFIELD, 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 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 month I lost the sum of £250. I am a poor woman and I was most insane. I went to 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." "I wish to state that one of my parishioners was sick and in trouble for a long time, Mrs. Brown, 37 Gay street. No one seemed to understand her case. She had several doctors, but none of them seemed to know what was the matter. None could do her any good. It was my duty as her pastor to call and see her. Hearing of the wonderful work being done by DR. SHEA, the last few years, I thought I would call to see him myself. I found him a kind, sympathetic gentleman. He gave me a wonderful test of his powers; told me to send her to preschool and preschool her daughter. He told me at once what was the matter, and in a short time cured her sound and well. Her family had seemingly been 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.

Little Harold Taylor, of Sterling avenue, is convalescing. The Robeda club gave a successful party Tuesday evening at Masonic hall. Mr. Henry Glen and Miss Belle Burfit were married on the 27th inst., at 611 Central avenue, by Rev. W. R. Wilson. On last Wednesday the Cleveland Poultry Co. was incorporated by a number of our enterprising young men. John D. Rockefeller has raised his gift to the Old Folks' Home on Osborn street to $700. It requires but $500 more to remove the indebtedness. Mrs. Henry Griffin and family wish to extend thanks to those who so kindly assisted during the illness and death of their sister and daughter, Gertrude. Mrs. Sarah Hill, of Sterling avenue, who has been very ill for a long time, was taken to Charity hospital Sunday. Her husband, Mr. Samuel Hill, and brother, Mr. N. Mason, have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends and neighbors. By mistake our last issue contained an item which announced the rumor of the prospective marriage of Mr. Harry Talbert and a Forest street young lady. It seems that Edward W. Burrell's name should have been substituted for Mr. Talbert's. The editor of The Gazette is in receipt of an invitation from Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Aa., to attend the twelfth annual session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference on February 18, and the Workers' Conference the following day. Rev. F. G. Brookins, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, will spend the next seven or eight weeks in the east. On last Monday night his church granted him a vacation. He has been ailing for some time and it is hoped his eastern trip will benefit him. Revivals at Shiloh church closed last Friday. They were held at Mt. Zlon church this week. I. A. Lawson preached an exceptionally good sermon at Shiloh, Sunday morning. Baptizing to-morrow morning at this church and communion in the evening. The trustees of the home on Osborn street need $200 more to pay the balance of $700 due on the mortgage on the home, which was originally $2,231. Until they publish their report for the last three years there are many who will not contribute a cent, and very properly, too. Walter L. Brown is again a motorman on the Central avenue line and thanks the editor of The Gazette for his return. He says that he is going to "stick" this time and "cut out" politics. "Col." Syd. Thompson says "me, too." He is employed on Col. Myron T. Herrick's private car. Last Sunday afternoon a Baptist council of five elders, two licensed preachers and six ordained deacons organized a regular Baptist church at 448 Broadway, known as the Tried Stone Baptist church, Rev. F. Rice, pastor. Amount raised, $32.53. He has a membership of over 60 Rev. Wilson was moderator of the council. Mr. Wm. Hardy, of Memphis, Tenn., who died recently, left some valuable property. In a letter received at this office recently from Jesse T. DeHart, of that city, he stated that there was a young man here (in Cleveland), the only heir, and desired his address. If he is still in this city it will be to his interest to communicate with Mr. DeHart at once. If you know anything of him send him word. Miss Pauline Hilker, soprano; Harry A. Williams, tenor and accompanist, and J. Gerald Tyler, pianist (of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music), assisted at Dr. Geo. Wilson's testimonial concert given in Chamber of Commerce hall Tuesday evening. Mr. Wilson read a number of dialect sketches, some his own products, and others, the works of James Whitcomb Riley and Paul Lawrence Dunbar. A fair-sized audience was in attendance and all the participants pleased greatly, especially Messrs. Williams and Wilson. It is currently rumored that Mrs. Beulah Griffin-West was obliged to order from her mother's home on Sterling avenue a committee of three (women) from the Old Folks' association who went there to see her aunt, Mrs. Louisa Cooper, and after viewing the body of Mrs. West's dead sister, Miss Gertrude Griffin, began a heated argument with Mrs. Cooper in another part of the house. Mrs. West has promised The Gazette a statement of the affair over her signature. Mrs. Cooper is an inmate of the home. St. Andrew's church was filled to its utmost capacity last Sunday evening by an appreciative audience which had gathered to witness the administration of the apostolic rite of confirmation upon six candidates by Bishop Leonard. The bishop preached an excellent sermon on "Manifest Thyself," for the benefit of the confirmants. Holy communion to-morrow at 10:30 a.m. Evening prayer at 7:30 p.m. A special unique service is promised by the rector. The funeral of Miss Gertrude Griffin occurred last Saturday at this church, Rev. Doan officiating. The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful. The family has the sym- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1903. pathy of the community in their sad loss. From a reliable source it was learned last week that the Y. W. C. A. discriminates in some of its branches. A woman of the race went to the association last summer in the interest of her daughter, whom she desired to take the domestic training course of six months. This course is FREE, those taking it living at the association till they complete the course. The lady in charge 'old her that it was impossible to admit her daughter, saying that the officials would not object, but that the girls (those taking the course) would. That was the only reason given for not admitting the woman's daughter, and to the free course, too. Thus far no discrimination against our girls has been shown in any otner department. Some have graduated, and while attending were treated nicely. None of the branches of study are free, except the one mentioned, and our girls are barred from it. Most Accomplished and Artistic Liar. Recently Rev. F. Rice baptized a number of converts in the pool of the Euclid Avenue Baptist church. The following morning one or more of the local daily papers published a report of the affair in which it was claimed that the whites in attendance upon the baptismal service laughed, jeered and otherwise made fools of themselves. One of the above mentioned newspaper accounts was clipped and forwarded to Rev. Dr. Chas. A. Eaton, pastor of the church, with a request for information relative to the correctnes of it. Dr. Eaton replied as follows: Jan. 21, 1903. "Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor of The Gazette, Dear Sir: The newspaper clipping you enclosed to me is absolute nonsense. The colored people had their baptismal service in the Euclid Avenue Baptist church by courtesy of the church. There were no white people in the galleries. All the white people present that I saw were three or four officers of the church. You had better interview Evangelist Rice, who conducted the baptismal service. I believe he has a mission on Scovill avenue. If the colored people are responsible for this report, they have grossly abused a courtesy. If they are not responsible, who ever is, is a most accomplished and artistic liar. Yours very cordially. CHARLES A. EATON." It is hardly necessary to add that our people are not responsible for the report which was originally published, as we have stated above, in some of our daily papers, and also that Evangelist Rice bears testimony as to the good conduct of all present and the good treatment he and his converts received from them.

Fashion Hints for Winter. The shirt-waist costume is essential to a perfectly appointed wardrobe, and velveteen of good quality is desirable for its development. Cape collars distinguish nearly all the new coats and jackets. Velvet has been the material par excellence of the season, and it will undoubtedly continue in favor. The cloth costume will be a prominent feature of the spring fashions, and white mohair with a silky surface is promised an unprecedented reign. Crepe de Chine is the most artistic material for evening gowns or those intended for semi-formal occasions; but many of the evening dresses are made of chiffon and lace, and show narrow borders of fur, chinchilla or mink tail. Lace becomes more and more a feature of fashionable dress, and leather has an important position in trimmings this season. Muffs have grown to a prodigious size.—From The Delineator for February.

Anniston, Ala., Jan. 29.—A boiler in the malleable iron foundry of the Southern Car and Foundry Co. blew up yesterday, killing six persons and injuring probably 20 others, several of whom will die. Three of the dead are negroes and three are white. Tom Birch was on top of the engine adjusting the piping when the accident occurred and was blown 60 feet into the air. J. A. Forte, a boilermaker, was blown to the top of a neighboring shed and killed. Like Hardy was hit by a flying piece of the boiler while 70 feet away and killed. Parts of the boiler weighing a ton or more were blown over buildings a thousand feet from the place of the explosion. Collision on the Illinois Central. Collision on the Illinois Central.

FOR GRAND LARCENY. A Wealthy Farmer Begins to Serve a Term in Prison—Remarkable Case. Columbus, Jan. 29.—John Noble, a farmer of Warren county, has begun a three and one-half year sentence in the penitentiary on a charge of grand larceny. Noble was the owner of a good farm, well stocked with cattle, and was considered well-to-do. Nevertheless, in spite of the possession of some 25 steers of his own, he was covetous of his neighbor's. He sold three steers to a butcher for $80, about half of their real value, and a neighbor, John Longstreet, charged him with their theft. Noble denied the charge, but finally entered into a deal with Longstreet by which payment for the mising cattle was to end the trouble. Longstreet carried out his part of the program, but Noble had not reckoned on the Cattle Owners' Protective association, which took up the case and pushed it to a conviction.

Health Before Wealth: Nine out of ten ailments first show themselves in constipation. Medical statistics show that a greater number of people suffer from constipation than from all other diseases combined. A great talk is made about consumption, but, constipation kills more people than consumption. Within the last few years a medicine has been discovered of such merit in curing constipation and its consequences that now over ten million boxes of CASCARETS are sold every year, the greatest sale ever attained by any one medicine in the world and this is the strongest proof that it is the best and will do all and more than claimed. If you are a sufferer give CASCARETS a trial, and right here we want to warn you to get the genuine, because all great successes breed imitations.

Woman's Headgear Infested with the Rodents and She Causes a Panic on a Street Car. Sergeant Brown, of the Fourth police precinct, was the only male passenger in a Clinton avenue trolley car in Newark the other morning when the dozen women in it were frightened by a nest of mice which one of their number had unsuspectingly brought in. At Bergen street the woman who caused the commotion boarded the car. She took a seat near Brown, in the middle of the car. He noticed after a few minutes that she was acting queerly. Her hat did not seem to fit, and she shifted and twisted it until suddenly she tore it from her head, threw it on the floor of the car and screamed. When the other women in the car looked at the hat they screamed, too. Nestled in the lining were three little mice, squeaking in terror as the women passengers scrambled up on the cane seats and stood trembling. The sergeant, fearing that some of the women might try to leap from the car, ordered the conductor to hold the door closed. The sergeant killed the tiny mice, and then offered the woman her hat, but she refused to put it on, and carried it at arm's length until she alighted from the car, a few blocks farther on. Brown says she would not give her name. CHEATS DEATH WITH TONGUE. Dr. J. V. Laborde, French Physiologist, Invents a Novel Apparatus for Resuscitation. Dr. J. V. Laborde, the French physiologist, has devised a method of resuscitating persons who are nearly dead by a device called a "tongue tractor." He has found that those who have lost consciousness through narcotic poisoning, drowning, asphyxiation, suffocation or syncope may sometimes be revive if the tongue be drawn rhythmically backward and forward for a certain length of time either by the hand or by an electric motor. His apparatus consists of a mechanism driven by a small electric motor, which gives 120 tractions a minute with all the rhythmic intermittances desirable. The tongue is attached to it by a ring and is pulled out and in. If the respiratory movements fail to answer more than five or six hours after apparent death life may be pronounced extinct.

Twenty Lives Lost by Collision on New Jersey Central. Royal Blue Express Crashes Into a Local Train Near Westfield, N. J. - Three Shattered Coaches Take Fire - Passengers Burned to Cinders. New York, Jan. 28.—One of the most appalling railroad wrecks that has occurred in the vicinity of New York for many years, the estimated loss of life ranging from 12 to 30 persons, took place last night at Graceland, on the Central railway of New Jersey, near Westfield, N. J., when the Royal Blue Line express plowed at top speed into the rear of a local train. Immediately after the crash three of the shattered cars of the local train took fire, rendering impossible the rescue of many of the wounded, who were pinned fast in the wreck. Many bodies are believed to have been consumed. On board the flyer the passengers, although badly shaken up, escaped uninjured, except for trifling bruises. The train left New York at 5:45 and runs express to Bound Brook, making stops at Elizabeth, Westfield and Plainfield. Beyond Bound Brook it runs as a local. The Royal Blue train left 15 minutes later, but travels at a higher speed and makes no stop except Elizabeth and is scheduled to overtake the slower train just beyond Graceland, where the latter switches from track No. 3 onto track No. 4 to permit the Royal Blue to pass. Last evening a freight train was blocked on track No. 4 and the local received orders to proceed on the express track to Dunellen and there take the outside or No. 4 track. Shortly after receiving orders the train had to stop for a hot box, which delayed her so that when she got under way again she was due at Dunellen. She had just started and was going slowly when the Royal Blue, traveling apparently at full speed, which at that point usually approxiamtes 65 miles an hour, crashed into the rear end. The heavy engine of the Royal Blue tore its way into the rear car and at the same time drove the forward end of that car into the rear end of the car ahead, which in turn was driven into the third car, and this in turn was driven into the fourth car from the rear. The fourth car was only partly wrecked, but the last three were torn to pieces. The engine of the Royal Blue left the rails and turned over on her side, the engineer and fireman sticking to their posts and going down in the wreck. They are now in the Muhlenberg hospital at Plainfield. The engine and the three worst wrecked cars were piled into an awful heap, containing at least 100 dead and injured. From the mass came fearful cries for aid. A minute later the wreck caught fire from the firebox of the locomotive. The screams of the injured in the heap were intensified as they found themselves hemmed in by the flames. The passengers in the two forward cars of the first train and all the men from the express and every one in the neighborhood started at once to get out the injured before the flames could reach them. At times while toiling in the wreckage the flames reached the rescuers and their clothing took fire, but they worked on though in constant danger of being killed themselves. The firemen from Westfield were summoned by telephone, but arrived too late to save many lives. Doctors were called for from Elizabeth, Westfield and Plainfield and there were a score on hand. The firemen after a time mastered the flames. Then the wreckage was attacked again and the work of recovering the bodies was begun. Out of the first car eight bodies were taken. The sight while the wreck was burning was horrifying. Men could be seen in the wreckage pinned fast amid the timbers of the cars and struggling to be free while the flames roared around them. The rescuers were helpless to aid them, as they already had been driven from the wreck by the flames. New York, Jan. 29.—The total loss of life by Tuesday night's fearful collision on the Central Railroad of New Jersey at Graceland, N. J., is up to last night 20. In addition to these, Engineer Davis and Fireman McCarthy, of the Philadelphia & Reading express who are in the hospital at Plainfield, may die at any moment and it is believed that several of the injured passengers cannot recover. The number of those known to be injured is upward of 50, of whom 13 remain in the hospital. The blame for the disaster is placed by the officials on engineer Davis, who, according to a policeman who took him from the shattered cab of his engine, admitted that he had seen the red and green danger lights displayed but, expecting to see them suddenly change to white, rushed on until it was too late to check speed before he plunged into the rear of the train ahead. No statement has been obtained from Davis in the hospital, but in intervals of semi-consciousness and delirium he moans "I saw nothing." A Terrific Explosion: Scranton, Pa., Jan. 28.—Thirteen men were being taken to their work in the Bellevue mine of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Co. on an electric engine yesterday.

Philadelphia, Jan. 27.—The attention of the anthracite coal strike commission was yesterday directed to the claims of the independent operators, the first case presented being that of G. B. Markle & Co., whose collieries are located in and about Jeddo, in the Lehigh region. Ten witnesses for the company were examined, the more important being Sidney Williams, general superintendent of the firm; Gertrude Martin, a professional nurse in the employ of the company, and Frank Walk, general storekeeper at Jeddo. Superintendent Williams' testimony was based upon the companies' answer to the miners' demands. He was subjected to a rigid cross-examination by Attorney Darrow, for the Miners' union, and was compelled to admit that, although 13 men were refused re-employment by the company for alleged criminal acts during the strike, he had no knowledge that any one of them had ever been guilty of a criminal action. Miss Martin told of the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Markle to properly care for the sick employees and stated that where cases of necessity were discovered, patients were furnished with medicine and nourishing food free of charge. Frank Walk described the operations of the company store system. The prices of articles, he said, were about the same as those charged by other dealers, but he admitted that none other than employees of the company were given credit. He stated also that after the company store system had been abolished and he had resorted to the cash basis he lost two-thirds of his custom. Philadelphia, Jan. 28.—Considerable progress was made Tuesday by the anthracite coal strike commission. The testimony presented yesterday was varied and interesting, an important witness being Albert C. Leisenring, superintendent of the Upper Lehigh Coal Co. Mr. Leisenring said he believed the meeting of employer and employee to be beneficial to both parties, and when asked if he preferred to allow his mine to fill with water rather than grant his men an eight-hour working day, he said he would rather not. Another witness who aroused the interest of the commissioners was H. K. Christ, a coal breaker builder, who said he was refused "permission" by the district officers of the United Mine Workers to build two breakers while the strike was in progress. Edward Ross, a professional accountant who was called to testify concerning the wages paid by the G. B. Markle Co., was compelled to change many of the figures that appeared in the companies' answer to the miners' demands, recently published. In every case the amounts were higher than the men had received, the figures ranging from ten cents to $20. Chairman Gray became impatient with the witness and expressed his displeasure in pointed terms. At the afternoon session there occurred a spirited interchange between Attorney McCarthy, for the miners, and Willard Young, who had acted as a special coal and iron policeman during the strike. Mr. Young insisted that a reign of terror existed in the Lehigh regions, but under cross-examination several times contradicted himself regarding the nature of the disturbances which he said had occurred. Philadelphia, Jan. 29.—The mooted question of responsibility for the limitation of the hard coal production was again an issue before the anthracite coal strike commission yesterday. The matter was brought up by Attorney Darrow, counsel for the miners, who requested the committee to summon the presidents of the coal carrying railroads as witnesses. The demand resulted in a lengthy discussion between Chairman Gray, Lawyer Dickson, counsel for the independent operators, and Mr. Darrow. Chairman Gray said the commission would consider the matter. The Lehigh Coal and Navigation Co.yesterday began the presentation of its case to the commission. Thomas Whilden, general inside foreman, was the principal witness. He was examined at length regarding the physical condition of the companies' mines. During the course of his testimony he said the men did not appear to be anxious to produce as much coal as the company desired, although they are now working ten hours a day instead of nine.

Long was elected United States senator yesterday by both houses of the Kansas legislature. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 28.—George Alstadt was arrested last night, charged with the murder of Charlie Thomas, an 8-year-old boy. Alstadt, who had served as a policeman for 20 years, but was recently made a quarantine officer, was passing along Prospect street at Mt. Washington, where some boys were having a snowball fight. The officer was made a mark of by the boys and it is said became enraged after being hit several times. He drew his revolver and fired three shots into the crowd, one bullet hitting the boy Thomas in the head. Drew a Ten-Year Sentence. Mount Holly, N. J., Jan. 28.
