AMERICAN TRADE-TO-COUNCI CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, FEB. 14, 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. Do you own a home? If not, why not? How many could you have purchased with the money you have paid out in rent? Give the matter careful consideration at once. It won't hurt you. For the Afro-American's side of the "race question," Booker T. Washington furnishes to white Americans the "Jim Crow" part of their discussion. Think it over and see if we are not right. What the Afro-American needs more than wealth, religion, education, better morals or anything else, is a knowledge of economy such as is practiced in the home of most of the foreign elements residing in the north. "It is not how much one makes, but how much he or she saves," is as true to-day as it was a thousand years ago. If our people kept this ever before them and practiced it, our wealth would rival that of the American Jew in a score of years. Hanna's "lily-white" republican and ex-slave pension scheme affiliations ought to convince our people in Ohio and elsewhere throughout the country as to what manner of man he is. Slowly but surely the true condition, as far as his attitude toward our people is concerned, materializes. We have a railroad in this state that carries a "Jim Crow" car, but it does so in defiance of the law.—Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. Is your governor dead or a democrat? Gov. Nash twice promptly put a stop to that sort of thing in Ohio, at our request. Punch up your governor! Senator Hanna's introduction of a bill last week Thursday granting pensions and bounty to all ex-slaves who were freed by Lincoln's proclamation is a piece of buncombe we did not think that even he would stoop to. Hanna knows there is no more chance of the passage by congress of such a bill than there is of his going to Heaven as he is, should he die. The introduction of that bill but helps scamps and scalawags, white and black, in the south to fleece thousands upon thousands of poor ignorant souls who do not know that there is absolutely no possibility of the passage of such a bill. This cheap attempt of Ohio's "lily-white" republican sympathizer to gain favor with Ohio Afro-Americans is so rediculous as to be disgusting and will fall as flat to the ground as it should. For years the ex-slave pension movement at the south has been one of the rottenest schemes in existence. Thousands upon thousands of inexpressably poor Afro-Americans in that section have been robbed by white and black scoundrels of money which was collected from the poor souls who were made to believe that they were, by the payment of this fee, securing admission into an organization (ex-Slave Pension association) which was soon going to secure them a pension along the line indicated in the senator's bill. Hanna and everybody else with a grain of sense knows that such a bill can never pass congress. Therefore, he but lends his assistance by introducing the bill, even by request, to a fraud and a robbery which the government postoffice department refuses to recognize and which it threw out of the United States mails many months ago. Ohio's "lily-white" republican senator, Marcus Alonzo Hanna's influence has caused this city's republican executive committee to adopt the "convention plan" in the face of the fact that the republicans of Cleveland twice voted in favor of the "popular vote plan" of making nominations. This is very poor judgment, to say the least—to thus slap squarely in the face so large a majority of the local republicans. It is, however, only part of the senator's plan, his idea being, it is said, as a result of his influence over the convention, to nominate candidates for positions from mayor down to and including councilmen, whom he has passed upon as being favorable to the street car corporations, in which he is one of, if not the heaviest, stockholder. The street car lines of Cleveland are sorely in need of a 25 or 50-year extension of franchise. This, therefore, will be the issue, overshadowing all other questions, in the spring campaign which is now at hand. The result will be that our party will sustain another stinging defeat. Lead- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1903. ing republicans are becoming very restless and dissatisfied with the senator's enforced leadership in local politics, because it has meant only defeat since he took the reins a couple or three years ago. Some members of the Old Folks' Home association of this city have an idea that the public's demand for the publication of the Home's report for the years 1900, 1901 and 1902 is a personal arraignment. They ought not to feel that way if the affairs of the institution were properly conducted during these years and proper records kept. If there has been "crooked" work in connection with the conduct of the Home it is no more than natural that those who yelled first, longest and loudest when the demand for the publication was first made, should be looked upon with suspicion. Therefore, it is the part of wisdom for the association to see that the public is furnished the published report desired just as soon as possible. Longer delay will only increase the feeling of distrust which has been gradually growing ever since that secret report, which was really no report at all, was furnished the Men's Auxiliary to the Old Folk's Home with a request that it be not read to the members of that organization. Where there has been nothing but honesty and proper records kept there is no need of such secretiveness and continued refusal to give the public what it is entitled to. The Old Folks' Home is a public charitable institution and not the property of individuals to do with as they may see fit, even if these latter happen to be members of the Old Folks' Home association. Many of us have the idea that the president is doing as nearly right as possible by us, because he is our friend. We do not believe that friendship has anything to do with it. In Theodore Roosevelt we have what is very seldom found in a public official—an absolutely honest man. He does not treat the Negro well because he likes him, but because he is just and honest. He is a clean man who will not soil his hands by treating any man of any nationality wrong. And that is all there is to it.—Philadelphia (Pa.) Odd Fellows' Journal. That is about the correct idea—at least as we see it it. If it were not for that Scribner Magazine article and the same distressing thing in his (Roosevelt's) history of the Rough Riders, anent the Afro-American soldiers who saved the president's regiment when they were being wiped out by the Spaniards in Cuba during the Spanish-American war, we could subscribe fully to the opinion expressed above by our esteemed contemporary. President Roosevelt, undoubtedly, has the strongest backbone of any chief executive of this country, since the days of Grant. Indeed, only one president since that time approaches him in that respect, and that is President Cleveland. His stand in sending into the state of Illinois United States soldiers to protect government property during the great Chicago strike, enunciated a principle of this government so old, so long ignored and frowned upon, that it proved new at the time, and is unquestionably one of the greatest acts of later years as far as our presidents are concerned. It is wrong, however, to hug to our breast the delusive belief or idea that Presidnet Roosevelt has any special liking for or interest in us as a class, because, in our judgment, at least, nothing of the kind is true. SHALL LOYAL MEN DIE AT THE HAND OF TRAITORS? As provided under the fundamental law, no person having taken the oath to support the constitution of the United States and shall have engaged in rebellion or insurrection against the same, shall be elected to any office, civil or military, under the general government. This law has been tolerant beyond reason, in so far that a disloyal and disaffected element has long arrayed itself against the principles upon which the government was founded. That element has gradually grown defiant, bold and aggressive in its opposition to the spirit and doctrine of the constitution. Amnesty made it possible for those once in rebellion to become the recipients of the nation's benefactions. It placed them in favor with the defenders of our government and it made them to all intents and purposes beneficiary to every blessing of our country's bounty. The foreign born citizen finds it a gracious offering that he may avail himself of the advantages of our new system of government. The beauty and magnificence of this theory is made manifest in the wisdom and magnanimity of our great republican system. Charitable to a fault, it has gathered into its cosmopolitan embrace not only the wayward and disobedient, but it has received alike the people from every clime and country. It has given the right hand of fellowship and trained its children to a recognition of the great principle of the inalienable rights of all men before the law. In the light of the evidence we have in hand, we find this much favored element opposed to the doctrine of free government, opposed to those not less worthy than themselves, opposed to the truest and most loyal element of the nation, opposed to the Afro-American, the tried and trusted of the republic, and are at variance with the grand cardinal idea and sustaining principle upon which the nation was established. A more atrocious crime against republican governments has not yet been recorded in history. In a moment of mad rebellion, bad men sought the life of this nation and still they defy the government which in sheer magnanimity has become their friend and benefactor. Most revolting, too, that this rebellious element persists in their exasperation to wage a cruel and unnatural fight against those who were the nation's defenders. In time of the late civil war, the Negro was the most harmless, yet the most reliable and helpful. In time of peace he is made victim to the hand which sought the overthrow of the government which he helped to rescue and to save. Nothing can be more exasperating and nothing more despicably mean and loathsome than the fact that our great government, once so magnanimous and fearless, should surrender its power and the force of its growing manhood to a cowardly and petulant minority that vents its wicked spleen against those who claim and demand the protection of government. In our protestation against these evils, we do not hope to reach the southern heart, but we do appeal to the northern mind, we plead with the loyal masses of the government to maintain and defend every measure of right and law, hew to the line and let even-handed justice be done and let there be no compromise of the nation's honor. Y. M. C. A.'S "CHRISTIANITY!" The Universe, Organ of the Catholic Church of Northern Ohio, Speaks Out in No Uncertain Tone. It appears that colored men are excluded from membership in the Y. M. C. A. association in Cleveland. The allegation has been made that a few days ago the association, after asking a prominent business firm to recommend five of its employees for study, refused to accept one of the five proposed, because of his race and color. Furthermore, a prominent trustee of the association is quoted as justifying the discrimination by giving statements from Booker Washington, and even going to the extent of wishing that "Christian" might be stricken from the time-honored title of the association. The Christianity of the Y. M. C. A. is very broad and quite thin. By the process of elimination there is not much left of sturdy faith in the association. If broad guage indifferentism is hurtful to the faith of its individual members, Catholic young men should not attach themselves to it—and if in the association now, should detach themselves. Referring to the recent fire in the building, The Gazette, published in Cleveland in the interests of the colored people, says: "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 organization that draws a color line. * * * 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."—Catholic Universe. "IS DENIED HIS RIGHTS." Secretary Root Says We Should Des- fend Those We Held in Slavery. New York City.—Secretary of War Root spoke at the Union League club dinner last week Friday night. He referred to the problems of the day, on which the safety of the government depends, as the division of the rich and the poor, the former controlling legislation and the latter endeavoring to stir up a war of the classes. Referring to the racial problem and the recent comments on the president's attitude, he said Roosevelt had not appointed as many colored citizens to office as McKinley, but a great cry had gone out and the executive had been criticized for entertaining a colored government officer, just as had been done before by other presidents. He said: "I don't want to argue this question. I am showing that we have to face a changed state of feeling in the south, where the black man is denied the right to aspire to the highest there is in American citizenship. This right to aspire to the highest dignity, which was formerly unquestioned, is now questioned. "We can never throw off the responsibility that rests on our people for the welfare of these black people that we held in slavery for so many generations."

ENGLAND'S PROTOCOL It Has Been Accepted by Mr. Bowen—Germany Goes Back on Her First Agreement. Washington, Feb. 11.—Great Britain's protocol has been formally accepted by Mr. Bowen for Venezuela. The German and Italian conventions are still undergoing revision, but assurances are given that they eventually will be made to conform in all essential respects to that of the British ambassador. Washington, Feb. 12.—Germany has ignored her previous agreement made with Mr. Bowen by Count Von Quadt, her charge d'affaires, and has insisted on a cash payment of $340,000, or a lien on the customs receipts of one of the Venezuelan ports until this amount is paid. This information was communicated to Mr. Bowen last night by Baron Von Sternburg, the German minister. Mr. Bowen immediately informed the German minister that he refused to yield the receipts of any port prior to The Hague's decision, saying that would be preferential treatment. As to the cash payment of $340,000 demanded, Mr. Bowen left the matter to the German minister to determine, saying to him that if Germany can afford to make a public confession that it does not stand by agreements signed by its duly accredited diplomats, he (Mr. Bowen) is willing that they shall receive, on the day the protocol is signed, the total amount asked in the original ultimatum. The response has been cabled to the German foreign office. Great Britain and Italy have renounced any responsibility for the action of Germany and express their regret. Through their representatives here they have informed Mr. Bowen that they will stand by all agreements they have made with him and will not be influenced by the action of Germany. Both the British and Italian protocols provide for a cash payment of £5,500 and for the submission of the question of preferential treatment to The Hague. It is stated that the action of Germany in asking for $340,000 instead of contenting herself with £5,500 is due to a misunderstanding of certain steps in the negotiations which had been passed on by Count Quadt before the arrival of Baron Von Sternburg. Mr. Bowen holds that Germany is bound by the act of its representative. COAL STRIKE COMMISSION. Arguments for and Against the Demands of the Union Anthracite Mine Workers Begun. Philadelphia, Feb. 10.—Arguments for and against the demands of the union anthracite mine workers, which will continue before the coal strike commission for the next six days, were begun Monday when the miners, through Daniel J. McCarthy, of Hazleton, made the opening argument. Mr. McCarthy was followed by ex-Congressman Brumm, of Minersville, who made a general argument, and Henry Lloyd, of Chicago, who confined his efforts to the question of recognition of the union and yearly trade agreements. Philadelphia, Feb. 11.—The United Mine Workers of America as an organization was severely scored yesterday by the counsel before the anthracite coal strike commission. The non-union men through their attorney, John T. Lenahan, presented their side of the controversy and demanded consideration at the hands of the commission, claiming the legal right to earn a livelihood as they might elect without the consent or dictation of the union. During his presentation of the case Mr. Lenahan denounced the union as a fomenter of crime and anarchy. The main feature of his argument was the claim that the union had no legal or moral right to coerce miners into membership, or to arrogate to itself the authority to fix the wages of mine workers. James H. Torrey, counsel or the Delaware & Hudson Co., claimed that the question of recognition of the union was not an issue before the commission, but he devoted considerable time to the consideration of that demand. Philadelphia, Feb. 12.—Counsel for the coal operators yesterday continued to arraign the Miners' union in their statements before the strike commission. The independent operators had the attention of the commissioners for the greater part of the day. The proceedings concluded with the presentation of the Reading Co.'s argument. In nearly every case the attorneys charged President Mitchell with responsibility for the alleged lawlessness in the coal region during the strike, and the union was characterized as an irresponsible organization whose members are beyond the control of the leaders. Agreed on a Wage Scale. Indianapolis, Feb. 9.—The miners and operators of the competitive districts have agreed upon a scale of wages for the ensuing year. The operators concede that the agreement is a victory for the miners. It grants an average increase of wages of 12% per cent. The wage scale signed directly and indirectly affects the wages of 300,000 miners. Fifty People Drowned. Lemberg, Austria, Feb. 12.—A ferryboat crossing the Visloka river sunk and 50 peasants who were aboard perished. To be Launched on St. Patrick's Day. Glasgow, Feb. 10.—Conversing with a friend yesterday Sir Thomas Lipton said he had hopes of being ahead of the cup defender in the launch of the Shamrock III. He had found it possible to definitely arrange for the launch to take place on March 17. Shooters' Bill's Dead. Indianapolis, Feb. 10. -The "shooters" bill in the legislature, which threatened to prevent an agreement between the operators and miners in their convention here, was recommitted yesterday. This means its death. A Fatal Accident.

Mrs. Eli Lucas, of Forest street mother of Mrs. Genevra Minter, left Wednesday morning for columbus, called there by the illness of her son, Mr. Elmer Daugherty, who is a guard in the Ohio penitentiary. We are still looking for the letter which Mrs. Beulah Griffin West promised several weeks ago. Mrs. West again assured us a few days ago that she would furnish the promised communication. It promises to be a hot one. Fred Sampson, a conductor on the Central avenue line, recently recovered all the money he was bounced out of some months ago and received pay for the time he lost. He also helped to secure the conviction of the thief (white) who robbed him. Be sure to read the editorials in this issue and the Washington, D. C., letter, on that ex-slave pension bill introduced in congress the first of the week by Ohio's "lily-white" republican senator, Marcus Alonzo Hanna. Edward Banks, 611 Sterling avenue, was arrested last week Wednesday night on the charge or burglarizing Edward Vargel's tailor shop at the corner of Ontario and St. Clair streets. He was bound over by Judge Fiedler, charged with burglary and larceny. The Y. M. C. A. building caught fire a second time (last or the week previous) and there is no doubt of it in our minds God Almighty is warning Shurtleff and his color-line associates to stop so ridiculing Christianity. The Y. W. C. A. will do well to note this and benefit by it. The ordinance increasing the size of the Cleveland police force to 345 men passed the city council Monday night. It will go into effect February 15. Sixty additional patrolmen will be appointed. As only 20 names are on the eligible list another examination will be held at once. At St. Andrew's church to-morrow, morning prayer at 10:30. Evening prayer at 7:30. The rector will preach the next of his series of sermons on the Apostle's Creed. Special music by the choir. Mrs. Beaulah West sang very beautifully last Sunday evening a solo entitled "A Dream of Paradise." Walter Balsamo, 412 Erie street, was arrested on suspicion Monday night while standing in front of the Star theater. On examination at Central police station it was found that he was robed in a stylish suit recently stolen from the Misfit Clothing Parlors. In police court Balsamo was bound over to common pleas court. The fifth "Pop" concert will be given at Grays' armory to-morrow (Sunday) at 3 p. m., by the Cleveland Grand Orchestra, Johann H. Beck, conductor. Van Veachton Rogers, harpist. A program of brilliant novelties will be played, several numbers being given for the first time in Cleveland. Admision 10, 15 and 25 THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1903. The Wagner quartette elicited much applause at the saag social given by the Cleveland Elks last week Wednesday evening, a large number of friends being present. The quartette is composed of the following members: Frederick D. Hackley, first tenor; Charles Leatherman, second tenor; Walter D. Randolph, first bass; and James Lewis, second bass. Alex. O. Taylor is accompaniest and director. The vacancy created by the recent death of Philip Hurst, a porter in the railway mail service, can now only be filled by civil service methods. While the position was not in the classified service at the time of Hurst's appointment, it was so included subsequently by executive order. If there is not a sufficient number of eligibles on the civil service list another examination will no doubt be ordered. If it is, it would be to the advantage of some members of the race to take it. It is not generally known among the Negro masses that Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, is the author of the best anti-lynch law in this whole country; and that that law has practically freed Ohio from the disgraceful practice of taking life by mob violence. No other Negro elected to a state legislature has done so much for his race—for it is a question which most generally affects the Negro—and few have tried.—Chicago (Ill.) Conservator. The editor of The Gazette received the past week from Robert Pelham, jr., of Washington, D. C., general manager, an invitation to attend the commemoration of the 86th anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass, under the auspices of the Pen and Pencil club, at Gray Brothers' banquet hall, Washington, D. C., on February 14 (to-night). Besides the invitation there was also a pass quite unique passing him from "Dull Care to Happy Thought." Henry P. Slaughter is president of the club. "Shadow and Light," an illustrated biography by ex-Judge M. W. Gibbs, of Little Rock, Ark., is the cream of the latest Afro-American publications. It is authentic and up-to-date, showing what can be accomplished by an Afro-American of energy amid seemingly almost insurmountable difficulties. This book ought to find its way into every Afro-American's home and especially in those in whom the sentiment of race pride is strong enough to respond to all that this instructive work represents to the race. "Shadow and Light" is on sale at Hatch's barber shop, 544 Central avenue, and by local agents. Now comes the Cleveland theater with its color-line. Suit is soon to be instituted against that place of alleged amusement by a couple of our ladies who purchased tickets and when they reached the theater were refused the seats called for. Just previous to this, relatives of theirs were treated likewise, except that they accepted poorer seats than had been purchased. The ladies in question refused to be thus placated and are very properly taking the matter into the courts, having plenty of witnesses, etc. This is the proper course to pursue. A few cases of this kind will soon break down the foolish discrimination which some of the cheap theaters and other public places have been making during recent years. It is said that Geo, Sampson, sr., A. T. Abbott, J. E. Reed and Walter L. F. Milligan are candidates-at-large for republican councilmanic nominations; that Willie Green, A. H. Martin and James R. Snyder are candidates for justice of the peace (nomination) and others still to be heard from. A delegation of residents (both colors or classes) of the Twelfth ward called upon Hon. Harry C. Smith on Monday evening and asked him to stand as a candidate in that ward or at large, pledging their active support. He is considering their request. Two of the Green family (father and son) now have government clerkships in Washington, D. C. What do they want—the earth? Afro-American republicans of this city will have none of Charles Marshall as a candidate-at-large for the council or anything else. There is no reason in the world why an attempt should be made to foist him upon the ticket, which will only be harmed by such action. This same applies to Willie Green, two of whose family are already in positions by grace of the republican party. If either or both are placed on the ticket in the convention to convene early in March, there are a sufficient number of Afro-American republicans of this community who will work against the entire city ticket to insure its defeat. Marshall and the Green family have had enough from the republican party for the present. Messrs. Hanna and Chandler will consult their own interests by heeding this warning. The True Reformers will give their first biennial reception on Monday, February 23, at G. A. R. hall, corner of Doan street and Euclid avenue. Following is the program for that evening: Invocation, Rev. E. D. Dandridge; welcome address, Rev. J. C. Turner; solo, Mr. J. Noble; "The Negro in Business," J. E. Reed; "Real Estate," W. T. Blue; selection by a quartette; "The Negro as a Physician," Dr. E. A. Dale; "An Old Issue and a New Phase," Attorney A. H. Martin, esq.; "Asleep in the Deep" (by request), Mr. A. Jones; "The Professional Negro," J. A. Rogers; "Temperance," Mr. Henry Taylor; "The Press," Hon. Harry C. Smith. Chief Griffin, of Cincinnati, will be present and set forth the work of the organization. Master of ceremonies, Mr. Geo. Brooks. The committee of arrangements, Rev. B. K. Smith, O. S. Fox and T. W. Cole, are sparing no pains to make this the grandest event of the season. Admission, 35 cents. The hall will be crowded, so come early. Confession. In charging the grand jury of Natchitoches parish, Louisiana, the judge demanded the punishment of the lawless assailants of negroes, saying: "The white people of this state now exercise all of the powers of government. Our laws are made by white men and administered by white men. To say that the courts and the laws are inadequate to the punishment of the Negro, when he deserves punishment, and to his protection, when he is entitled to protection, is to confess that our race is incapable of administering the gov- ernment. We cannot turn these helpless people over to the tender mercies of irresponsible mobs without incurring the contempt of all enlightened people and the wrath of a righteous God." There's the plain, blunt truth. Lynching of Negroes means that the white government in southern states is a failure, means that the white men who fill 99 per cent. of the offices are unable to carry out their oaths of office. Mob attacks on colored persons mean nothing else but confession that the so-called white government is lacking in some essentials of civilization. The Louisiana judge is to be congratulated upon his splendid presentation of this much discussed matter.--Youngstown (O.) Telegram. House Moving Popular Canton O.—Miss Helen Blocksom has been quite ill.—Mrs. L. C. Lacy is suffering with a very bad limb, which was broken four years ago.—Miss Cora Knox and Mr. Henry Johnson were married by Rev. Greene at Mr. Eugene Tate's Saturday evening.—Mr. Garfield Blueford recovered his overcoat which was stolen from him.—Miss Anna Wilson, of Newark, spent a few days here.—The "Yellow Four" will give a ball at Turner hall the 25th.—Miss Effie Johnson is troubled with her eyes. — Alfred Early and Mr. Webster, of Hotel McKinley, were Miss Mattie Greene's guests Friday afternoon.—Mrs. Webb, of Sekatan, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Watts.—House moving has become so popular among our people that they are even moving on Sundays. May God help them do better! Let Us Hear From You. The old reliable Gazette desires an energetic and honest agent, and a good correspondent, in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents.

Shaw Stops False Rumor. Pittsburgh Pa. Feb. 5, 1903. Hon. H. C. Smith, Dear Sir: Somehow the word has gotten abroad that I have suffered mental trouble from overwork. In this I have gotten mixed up with one J. C. Temple, who failed in health and his mental grip and was removed from his church. So far as we know, my health is as good as usual and my mental grasp as firm as ever. Do me the favor to note this fact in The Gazette. My work is going after my usual style and I am preaching every night in our revival meeting. Send Gazette to me at 46 Enoch street, Pittsburg, Pa. Yours. DANIEL W. SHAW.

CLEVELAND, O. 3 SECTIONAL VIEW SISTERS OF CHARITY SISTER BEATRIX. A letter recently received by Dr. Hartman from Sister Beatrix, 410 W. 30th Street, New York, reads as follows: Dr. S. B.

Y., Feb. 11.—The court of appeals on Tuesday affirmed the decisions of the courts below dismissing the complaint in the celebrated case of Judge James N. Veazey against the brokerage firm of Henry Allen & Co., of New York City which grew out of the investigations of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Co., and the American Sugar Refining Co., commonly termed the whisky and sugar trusts, by a congressional committee in 1893. Veazey sued to recover half of the profits made by the stock brokerage company, which he alleged amounted to $500,000 in consequence of a decline in the price of stocks of these two corporations by reason of the congressional investigation. Veazey had, according to the evidence, entered into a contract with Allen & Co. to bring about the investigation for the purpose of depreciating the stock of the corporations. The evidence shows that Veazey and Walton, his son-in-law, received $16,937, as one-half the profit on certain stocks sold. He was non-suited on the ground that the contract made was contrary to public policy. The court of appeals sustains that decision and Judge Werner, in a lengthy opinion, says: "The investigation was intended to, and did, impair the reputation of the whisky trust and resulted in a substantial decline in the market price of its stocks. That was the end aimed at in said contract. That such a contract is one which in its object, operation and tendency, is calculated to be prejudicial to the public welfare, ought not to be doubted for a moment." IN HIS OWN BEHALF Dr. Alexander Testifies About His Dealings with Cantrell, the Grave Robber. Indianapolis, Feb. 11.—At yesterday's trial of Dr. Alexander he said he was employed to deliver 30 lectures at the Central college on osteology or descriptive anatomy of skeletons, during the school year of 1901-02, and he admitted that it was his duty to procure dissecting material for the college. "We used possibly ten or twelve bodies a season," he said. He received, all told, $60 for each body. Dr. Alexander said he hired Cantrell to clean a lot of skeletons in the old college building for $25. Cantrell, whom the defendant then knew as William Rufus, said he had worked about medical colleges and wanted employment. On one occasion, in July, 1902, Dr. Alexander talked with Cantrell about procuring bodies for dissection, the negro saying he had done that kind of work for different colleges and would like to do it again. Dr. Alexander then made arrangements to supply material of this kind and to be paid $30 for each body delivered at the college. Cantrell afterwards furnished seven bodies to the college, but the witness declared he did not know any graves had been robbed until claims were made for bodies at the college. Dr. Alexander denied having bought tools or revolvers for Cantrell, but admitted he had advanced him money, and had paid his fine in the police court. Agreed to Arbitrate. Chicago, Feb. 11.—The strike of the elevator men and janitors in the office buildings of Chicago came to an end last night. The abrupt finish of the strike was brought about by the Managers' association receding from the position it had taken in refusing to submit its case to the Chicago board of arbitration. It was claimed by the managers that a majority of the men on this board are friendly to the teamsters, who have been allies of the elevator men in the strike, and that their cases would be prejudiced. They wished a different set of arbitrators. They announced last night that they had become convinced that they would receive fair treatment by the board and agreed to submit the case. Shot His Sweethcart and Himself. Pittsburg, Feb. 11.—Maggie Hill, a domestic, was fatally injured in her employer's house on Atwood street last night and her escort, Nicholas Glasner, a motorman, was found lying near her in an unconscious condition.

Chicago, Ill.-The "at home" reception given Sunday afternoon, February 1, by Mr. and Mrs. David Manson at their home, 4609 Vincennes avenue, in honor of their friend, Mrs. Charles Berry, of Youngstown, O., was one of the most brilliant affairs of the season. From 2 until 5 p. m. streams of our social elite were coming and going. Mr. and Mrs. Manson were assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Julius N. Avendorph, Misses Estelle Arnold, Blanch Wright and Gertrude Palmer. Miss Palmer played two violin solos and Miss Wright sang "Robert." Among those who called were Mr. and Mrs. Carrie Dennie French, J. N. Avendorph, Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Williams, Messrs. Lloyd C. Wheeler. sr., Dr. Daniel H. Williams, Editor D. R. Wilkins, J.

Mr. Manson, Mrs. French and Mrs. Clara Henderson Jones were former Clevelanders. Colored American Cooper Roasted. Bro. C. A. Franklin, who runs one of the best Negro newspapers in this country, is nothing if not plain and cutting when once aroused. Commenting on the Conservator's lavish and perhaps extravagant praise of Bro. Cooper's great paper, the Colored American, Bro. Franklin says in his Statesman of Denver, Col: "It takes gall of the type that Ed. Cooper (of the Washington, D.C., Colored American) has to comment upon shortcomings of anyone in the newspaper business. As a fakir and dead beat Cooper is IT. But if he would put on his specs and look at the abominations run in his sheet under the pretense that they are superior copper alloy type, also take a squint at his own makeup, cuts, and even at his made-to-order thinklets, he will find that he has plenty to do attending to his own business. Washington has more colored people than all the mountain states combined, yet Cooper's sheet is not the leading, largest nor greatest in the country, as he claims, nor even a good second. He has been distanced in the running and deserves it." Bro. Cooper must owe Bro. Franklin a few dollars, too. We had thought that there was at least one Negro newspaper editor Bro. Cooper had not buncoed.—Chicago (Ill.) Conservator. Death of Samuel S. Howard. Wellsburg, W.

Mr. Gosney suffered very severely with Kidney Complaint and some ten years ago made up his mind to find a cure if one was to be had. He has tried and tried and experimented with every kidney medicine he could hear of. Although he was always disappointed he kept on trying till at last his perseverance was rewarded and he found a complete cure. He is a well man to-day and explains it as follows: "Everything failed to cure me and I was growing worse and worse till I tried a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills and I had not taken many of them before I knew that I had at last found the right thing. I am entirely cured and I cannot say too much for Dodd's Kidney Pills." "Do you think she really loves him?" "Well, she's begun to call him 'Foolish boy'!" —Philadelphia Bulletin.

No. 2, Reading, Mich. Use a good, penetrating line bruise, pain in your body MUS LINI worms its way down th muscles to the very heart BEAUTY A Ancient and Modern Time and Disease of Beauty. What to Restore the Lil Socrates called beauty a short-lived tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature, Theocritus a delightful prejudice, Theophrastus a silent cheat, Carneades a solitary kingdom, Homer a glorious gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty was better than all the letters of recommendation in the world, and yet none of these distinguished authorities has left us even a hint of how beauty is to be perpetuated, or the ravages of age and disease defied. Time soon blends the lily and the rose into the pallor of age, disease dots the fair face with cutaneous disfigurations and crimsons the Roman nose with unsightly flushes, moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory of eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautiful by defacing the complexion, and fills the sensitive soul with agony unspeakable. If such be the unhappy condition of one afflicted with slight skin blemishes, what must be the feelings of those in whom torturing humors have for years run riot, covering the skin with scales and sores and charging the blood with poisonous elements to become a part of the system until death? It is vain to attempt to portray such suffering. Death in many cases might be considered a blessing. The blood and fluids seem to be impregnated with a fiery element which, when discharged through the pores upon the surface of the body, inflames and burns until, in his efforts for relief, the patient tears the skin with his nails, and not until the blood flows does sufficient relief come to cause him to desist. Thus do complexional defects merge into torturing disease, and piqued vanity give place to real suffering. A little wart on the nose or cheek grows to the all-devouring lupus, a patch of tetter on the palm of the hand or on the limbs suddenly envelops the body in its flery embrace, a bruise on the leg expands into a guawing ulcer, which reaches out its fangs to the sufferer's heart in every paroxysm of pain, a small kernel in the neck multiplies into a dozen, which eat away the vitality, great pearl-like scales grow from little rash-like inflammations in such abundance as to pass credulity; and so on may we depict the sufferings to which poor human nature is subject, all of which involve great mental distress because of personal disfigurements. If there were not another external disease known, eczema alone would be a sufficient infliction on mankind. It pervades all classes, and descends impartially through generations. While some are constantly enveloped in it, others have it confined to small patches in the ears, on the scalp, on the breast, on the palms of the hands, on the limbs, etc., but everywhere its distinctive feature is a small watery blister, which discharges an acrid fluid, causing heat, inflammation, and intense itching. Ring-worm, tetter, scalled head, dandruff, belong to this scaly and itching order of diseases. Psoriasis, our modern leprosy, with its mother-o-pearl scale, situated on a reddened base, which bleeds upon the removal of the scale, is to be dreaded and avoided, as of old. Impetigo, barber's itch, erysipelas, and a score of minor disorders make up in part the catalogue of external diseases of the skin. Thus far we have made no allusion to those afflictions which are manifestly impurities of the blood, viz.: swelling of the glands of the throat, ulcers on the neck and limbs, tumors, abscesses, and mercurial poisons, with loss of hair, because the whole list can be comprehended in the one word scrofula. It is in the treatment of torturing, disfiguring humors and affections of the skin, scalp, and blood, with loss of hair, that the Cuticura remedies have achieved their greatest success. Original in composition, scientifically compounded, absolutely pure, unchangeable in any climate, always ready, and agreeable to the most delicate and sensitive, they present to young and old the most successful curatives of modern times. This will be considered strong language by those acquainted with the character and obstinacy of blood and skin humors but it is justified by innumerable successes where all the remedies and methods in vogue have failed to cure, and, in many cases, to retrieve, even. The Cuticura treatment is at once agreeable, speedy, economical, and comprehensive.

TANGEMENT through the swollen, fevered out of pain and drives it out. ND PURITY Ideas on the Subject. the Effacing Agents Has Science Done ly and the Rose? to allay itching, irritation, and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent, to cool and cleanse the blood. This treatment affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest forms of eczema and other itching, burning, and scaly humors, and points to a speedy, permanent, and economical cure of torturing, disfiguring humors, eczemas, rashes, and inflammations, from infancy to age, when all other remedies and the best physicians fail. The remedies constituting the Cuticura system will repay an individual scrutiny of their remarkable properties. Cuticura Soap contains in a modified form the medicinal properties of Cuticura Ointment, the great skin cure and purest and sweetest of emollients, combined with the most delicate and refreshing of flower odors. It purifies and invigorates the pores of the skin, and imparts activity to the oil glands and tubes, thus furnishing an outlet for unwholesome matter, which if retained would cause pimples, blackheads, rashes, oily, mothy skin, and other complexional disfigurations, as well as scalp affections and irritations, falling hair, and baby rashes. Its gentle and continuous action on the natural lubricators of the skin keeps the latter transparent, soft, flexible, and healthy. Hence its constant use, assisted by an occasional use of Cuticura Ointment, realizes the fairest complexion, the softest, whitest hands, and the most luxuriant, glossy hair within the domain of the most advanced scientific knowledge to supply. Cuticura Ointment is the most successful external curative for torturing, disfiguring humors of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, in proof of which a single anointing with it, preceded by a hot bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed in the severer cases by a full dose of Cuticura Resolvent, is sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burning, and scaly humors, permit rest and sleep, and point to a speedy cure when all other remedies fail. It is especially so in the treatment of infants and children, cleansing, soothing, and healing the most distressing of infantile humors, and preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, and hair. Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the same time, the charm of satisfying the simple wants of the toilet of all ages, in caring for the skin, scalp, hair, and hands far more effectually, agreeably, and economically than the most expensive of toilet emollients, while free from every ingredient of a doubtful or dangerous character. Its "One Night Treatment of the Hands," or "Single Treatment of the Hair," or use after athletics, cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each in connection with the use of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence of this. Of all remedies for the purification of the blood and circulating fluids, none approaches in specific medical action Cuticura Resolvent. It neutralizes and resolves away (hence its name) scroffulous, inhitored, and other humors in the blood, which give rise to swellings of the glands, pains in the bones, and torturing, disgurgling eruptions of the skin and scalp, with loss of hair. Cuticura Resolvent extends its purifying influence by means of the pores to the surface of the skin, allaying irritation, inflammation, itching, and burning, and soothing and healing. Hence its success in the treatment of distressing humors of the skin, scalp, and blood, with loss of hair, which fall to be permanently cured by external remedies alone. The grandest testimonial that can be offered Cuticura remedies is their world-wide sale, due to the personal recommendations of those who have used them. It is difficult to realize the mighty growth of the business done under this name. From a small beginning in the simplest form, against prejudice and opposition, against monied hosts, countless rivals, and trade indifference, Cuticura remedies have become the greatest curatives of their time, and, in fact, of all time, for nowhere in the history of medicine is to be found another approaching them in popularity and sale. In every clime and with every people they have met with the same reception. The confines of the earth are the only limits to their growth. They have conquered the world. To the test of popular judgment all things mundane must finally come. The civilized world has rendered its verdict in favor of Cuticura. $40,000.00 BEING DESIHOB OF ENLARGING A WELL-ESTABLISHED AND PROFITABLE WHOLESALE LUMBER BUSINESS, I WANT A PARTNER WITH $40,000, OR MORE, CASH CAPITAL, FOR PARTICULARS ADDRESS.
