Secretary Root has spoken strong ‘words and has exposed most signally the maniacal ravings of those who ‘oppose the Afro-Americans holding ‘office. He reminds the people of the south that more colored men held of- fice under Grant, Arthur, Harrison and McKinley than under President Roosevelt. This is a fact that admits of no refutatioi: ‘The south recog- nizes this fact and many democrats congratulated the Negro on account of his promotion. What is the matter mow, what meaneth this deceitful howl against the black man at this date day? It is now the practice of the southern whites to attribute to tthe ‘Afro-American every inconceiv- able meanness-and to inflict upon him burdens too intolerable to be borne, Manifestly this is done more with a view to degrade and discount him than to aid and vindicate his elaims. Just after the war, the south- ern whites dared not think of ques- tioning the rights of Afro-American «itizens under the law. But embold- ened by the attempt of republican administrations to induce feelings of reconciliation and harmony, they abuse this magnanimity of govern- mental power by resorting to meas- ures that are at once subversive of mational authority. The southern people are not demented, but like Pharaoh’s host joined to their idols fo darken the century..of ages in march of our new civilization. “They assail the Afro-American on ‘account of his color; ‘they are re- sponsible for the evils that are upon us; let them atone for the wrongs they have done us rather than im- pose upon us injuries amounting to #utrage. wa SECRETARY OF WAR ELIHU ROOT. Secretary of War Elihu Root ad- dressed the Union League club at ‘New York, which celebrated its forti- eth anniversary. The speech was re- markable in a large degree, because 4t dwelt on the pivotal point in Amer- fcan politics. He said: “There are many problems*toming up to-day on ‘which the safety of this government depends. There are to-day situations of possible evils for our country that eall for devoted patriotism.” Never at any crisis in our history have the ‘words of any American been more pertinent. The southern press in its usual frenzy sarcastically remarks that Secretary of-War Root is grow- ing hysterjcal. But Mr. Root shows himself a consummate statesman and the man of the hour. That there are problems rising to-day on which the safety of this government de- pends cannot be denied. At least the question which concerns the Negro is the one paramount to all others in this country. Paramount because it fnvolves the vital principle on which this government was founded. It points to the situation of possible evils in the south which must be eradicated by legislation or other- wise. Mr. Root is no alarmist. He sees the terrible condition to which the country has been brought and he does not hesitate to warn the nation of coming danger. We are confront- fing a mighty peril and it remains with ‘the strong men of the republic to de- termine whether we shall profit by the experience of the past or wheth- er again Americans shall be called to ‘taste of the sorows of our own ma- Jevolent practices. Secretary of War Root sees danger afar off and he ‘warns his countrymen to guard against possible evils, Present con- @itions are ffiught with mighty threatenings to the republic and the past has more than once verified this fact. Unlike any other people on the globe, yet Americans though they be ‘of long forbearance, yet whatever evil interposes against the peace and stability of the government, they will confront and deal with as the case demands, Permanency of free gov- ernment and protection to American sitizensbip is the ambition of all true patriots and statesmen, and without these there can be no peace. THE SOUTH’S WOLF-HOWL. ‘Tb any unprejudiced and fair- minded person, it must be perplexing indeed: that the white element of the south should be other than on the most friendly terms with our people. It is no fault of Afro-Americans that euch a state of feeling does not ex- fst. With stight and modifying ex- ‘ceptions, the well-to-do white man is indebted to the Negro for his owner- ghip of incd and real estate, For etait: allhgs 37th: Shenae Mi crammele tenant ct acnlnatne ee aed inca bored a@nd toiled in clearing the for- est and cultivating the field. He was the only producer and his services added very materially to the wealth and prosperity of the country. With- out that labor and the means neces- sary to growth and development, the ‘south might have been a wild waste of unproductiveness. It never enter- ed the mind of the proud “cheva- liers” that they should earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. To find a means of support they snb- stituted a system of slavery and rob- bery, and imposed upon the black man burdens for which they can never, never, atone. The wickedness of this offense consists in the fact that the perpetrators of the deed very well knew that they were com- mitting the worst crime known against humanity and God. They knew then, as they should know now, that they were inflicting an irrepar- able wrong upon a helpless and de- fenseless people. But these people are to-day free and equal citizens un- der American law. The crime of their slavery was wrong from the be- ginning, and the persecutions from which they now suffer are infamous and unjust. The southern white man has no ground of justification for the course he now pursues. After all these years of toil and hardship, is it the part of a brave and generous Christian people to inaugurate a sys- tem of cruel outrage upon the race? The condition of master and slave and the relations existing then and even now between white and black have never at any time in the history of man warranted the heartless and merciless dealings which are being meted out to the children of the ex- slaves on this continent. The south: ern ‘Negro is fully conscious of the hard and straightened circumstances in which he finds himself to-day. He is wholly conscious of the deadly lines which are drawn against him, and though human nature and man. hood revolt against the galling yoke which burdens his soul, yet he recog: nizes the terrible and unrelenting doom to which he is subjected and struggles on to better life. He is not the ungreatful creature that his white perseeutors would have him be. On the contrary, he keenly appreci- ates the kindness of his white bene- factors and reciprocates them in many instances, as did the poor ex. slave of Omaha who bestowed his mil- lions upon his hitherto young master Assuredly, too, the Afro-American has a right to claim at least some due and fitting acknowledgement on the part of the white people of the south in particular for the services render- ed ‘them in building up their country and lending them succor in the hour of their extremity. The present un- natural fight on the part of the southern whites against’ Afro-Ameri- cans affords one of the most dis graceftil scenes ever yet brought to the gaze of civilized man. Nothing so shocks the sensibilities of the Christian world as’' does this wolf- howl from the southland which now pants for the blood and degradation of the brother in black. The states once in rebellion are again in arms against the Negro, and the bulk of the southern press inspires the in- vasion. Generous to a fault, the gen- eral government confers its benfac- tions in responding to the demands of the southern people, while they ir turn betray their worst ingratitude They assail the executive of the na- tion and seek his humiliation in exe: erations and disgraceful cartoons Only in the present congress now in session more than thirty southern cities have had ample appropriations made for home and internal improve- ments, while the great north ap- proves the act and congratulates the government for its patriotism and devotion to a common country. We had hoped and prayed for a brighter and more enduring period, when hatred and sectionalism would be forgotten, when the patriotism of the south might be trusted as the pa- triotism of the north, and that a blessed feeling of unanimity and good will would become the crowning and universal sentiment of all sections. God grant that despite the impending cloud which seems, to threaten so much of evil to our race and beloved country, that the light of a broader civilization and a purer Christianity may yet dawn to guide us into hap- pler and better conditions. | Smoot Ignored the Color Line. Salt Lake City, Utah—Comment ‘has been aroused in Utah over the ac- ‘tion of Senator-elect Reed Smoot Thursday night in seating Afro- Americans at a banquet with white ‘people and having white girls serve ‘them. The southerners living in the state express themselves on the sub- ject with especial vigor. Mr. Smoot is quoted as saying in explanation: “If President Roosevelt isn’t too good to entertain a colored man at the White House, I don’t see why I should not have colored peo- ple as my guests.” The banquet was given by Apostle and Mrs. Smoot to the members of the legislature and the state ofiicials at their Provo home. One of the guests was the editor of a weekly paper for colored people and the sec- ond is employed as a porter. The waiters were white girls. Sev- eral of them, it is said, refused to wait on the colored guests. Smoot himself superintended the seating ar- rangements and fired the color line waiter girls. Praised by Lora Jarvis.

Boys and girls of tender years haye been compelled to work from 12 to 14 hours a day for trom $2 to $3 a week. As a result of the investigation brought about by the recent attempt of certain inmates of the state re- form school at Ogden, Utah, to burn the buildings, the officials have unearthed a conspiracy among some of the girl inmates to poison the teachers and others in authority at the school.

It appears that Emperor William's suddeniand mysterious recall of Bar- on Von/Holleben, German ambassador at Washington, closely followed a charge {that he had used his official positio® to advertise a certain wine. This had been urged in vain by the embassy for use in the christen- ing of the emperor’s yacht Meteor by Miss Alice Roosevelt. J. R.

Cananea, State of Sonora, Mexico. ‘Feb. 17.—Five Americans have been barbarously put to death by Mexican ‘troops with 54 captured Yaqui Indi- ‘ans near El Gordo. It is impossible ‘to tell whether they were renegades ‘or prospectors held captive by the Indians. Authentic news of the attack on ‘the Yaquis was brought here yester day. . Barly in the morning the Mexicans -stampeded the Yaquis’ horses and at- ‘tacked the camp, which was pitched ona hilly The fighting began at 8 a yp., and it was not until nightfall that ‘the Mexicans gained a hard-earned vietory.

It is said that he went someone's bail for $1,000 and does not own that amount of property. 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. Mr. Charles Mann, of Lincoln avenue, died last week after serious illness resultant from pneumonia. Funeral Sunday. The deceased leaves a wife, several brothers, a sister and a number of other relatives to mourn his demise. His father, Mr. Joseph Mann (deceased), was many years ago janitor of the old court house. People who dislike rag time melodies may be pleased to hear that the author (Ernest Hogan) of "All Coons Look Like to Me" has been adjudged a bankrupt. His assets are set down at virtually nothing, while his liabilities reach $6,159, most of it borrowed money. This would make it appear that his credit was excellent while it lasted.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Young Men's Progressive Political club met Tuesday evening at Teutonia hall. President, George Copes, and R. L. Bass, vice president, presided. "Col." Syd Thompson, Fred Lange and others spoke. Hon. Harry C. Smith was indorsed for council in the Twelfth ward. Next meeting next Tuesday at same place. There will be a number of "spellbinders" present. The following officers were elected at the second annual meeting of the City Federation of Women's Clubs in Mt. Zion church last week Thursday night: President, Miss Sarah Mitchell; vice presidents, Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Henry Taylor; recording secretary, Miss Bertha Blue; corresponding secretary, Miss Ada Hackley; treasurer, Mrs. Brice. At St. Andrew's church to-morrow the subject of the sermon will be "The Communion of Saints," apostle's creed series. On next Tuesday evening the Men's club will give a pancake social in the basement of the church. A program will be rendered, including several selections by the Wagner quartette. Lenten services will be held every Tuesday and Friday evening. We dare say few money-making schemes of the kind have paid their promoters better than have the ex-slave pension scheme. For a number of years those at the head of the movement have gone up and down through the land collecting money from the ex-slaves with the promise that they were going to secure for them a pension, and it would cost so much to have their names enrolled.—New Orleans Southwestern Christian Advocate. A good place to spend to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon will be at the sixth "Pop" concert by the Cleveland grand orchestra, Emli Ring, conductor, at Grays' armory. It will be a patriotic concert in honor of Washington's birthday. Amy Weichsel, solo violinist. A children's grand chorus of 175 voices from the Jewish orphan asylum will sing several patriotic numbers; also the famous anvil chorus, with anvil and orchestra accompaniment. Admission, 10, 15 and 25 cents. "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 THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1903. 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. 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. 'Possum Made All Equal. Des Molnes, Ia.—The annual 'possum dinner of "Jeff" Logan, the veteran Afro-American janitor of the state house, was attended by every politician and business man of prominence in this city. Every state official, including Gov. Shaw and Gov.elect Cummins, was in attendance. The feature of the postprandial oratory was the repeated reference to the good sense displayed by President Roosevelt in inviting Booker T. Washington to dine with him at the White House. In this case, however, the white guests were entertained at the latter's comfortable home on Capitol avenue. His annual feast has grown to be so famous that there is no man in Iowa but deems himself honored by an invitation from "Jeff." Three millionaires also were at Wednesday night's spread. Six roasted 'possums formed part of the menu. 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. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Zanesville, Steubenville, Gallipolis, Cambridge, Wellsville, Portsmouth, Delaware, Springfield, Piqua, Urbana, Hamilton and Sandusky. Write to the editor of The Gazette, Blackstone building, Cleveland, O., and our terms will be sent at once. Our readers can oblige us greatly by sending at once the address of any good person or persons in any of the cities named above or others, to whom we can write relative to the matter. Cooper's Song, "They're After Me." Bro. Franklin, in the Denver (Col.) Statesman, sincerely repents of what he said of Bro. Cooper, and amid bitter tears says by way of apology: "We dislike nothing more than the uncloaking of villainy and ushonesty. We spoke of the dealings of Cooper, of the Colored American infamy, a few weeks ago, and the chorus of editors who took up the refrain was something tremendous. Evidently in this case we struck home. So while we regret this incursion into the sewers, it seems that there was the only place where the editor in question can be found." Bro. Cooper still sings, "They're after me, they're after me."—Conservator. Of Interest for the Kitchen. A number of excellent recipes are presented in the March Delineator. The younger members of the household, gifted with a sweet tooth, will probably find pleasure in trying the several kinds of meringues, a confection seldom attempted in the home, though it appears from the recipes comparatively simple. The more practical-minded housewife will find some useful suggestions in an article on the uses of the bean, and also in the paper on ragouts. The pages of illustrated cookery, showing a St. Patrick's luncheon, constitute a pleasing display. Killing and Crippling Houston, Tex.—The reign of terror among our people in Nacogdoches county continues. A small settlement ten miles from Nacogdoches is the latest scene of whitecap outrages. Ten were tied to trees and beaten unmercifully and others were warned to leave. Jim Anderson was shot to death in the woods, where he took refuge. Many others are missing. A dozen homes have been burned. Afro-Americans are fleeing to Oklahoma by the score. Round Three Cornses in a Boa Paducah, Ky., Feb. 19.—A wrecked houseboat floating in the Tennessee river near Livingston Point, was caught yesterday and found to contain the bodies of three people, a man, woman and child, all white. The boat was floating on its side. The name of the family could not be learned. Attractive Low Rates To points in the West and Northwest by way of the Nickel Plate Road.

No. 286 GEORGE B. CORTELYOU. The President Appoints Him Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor. Washington, Feb. 17.—The president yesterday nominated George B. Cortelyou, of New York, to be secretary of commerce and labor. The senate at once confirmed the nomination. GEORGE B. CORTELYOU. Secretary Cortelyou is a man of attractive personality, a scholar of ability and admirable training and a public official of genius. In politics he is a staunch republican, but his present position has been achieved rather by merit than by political favor. He has set a high standard as secretary to the president. He is the personification of courtesy, is invariably kind, combines rare tact with brilliant executive ability. Mr. Cortelyou was born in New York City on July 26, 1862. A Collision at a Crossing: Sandusky, Feb. 19.—Mail train No. 15, westbound on the Lake Shore railroad, was derailed here Wednesday by a Sandusky-Norwalk electric car. The latter was approaching a crossing while the train was passing. The brake on the electric car failed to work, and it crashed into the middle of the mail train. Three men on the electric car were injured, one man's leg being broken, and traffic was delayed about five hours. Moros Murdered Two Miners: Manila, Feb. 19.—John Prucha and E. Chase, miners, who were working on a placer claim 60 miles northeast of Zamboanga, Mindanao, were murdered by Moros in January. The natives surprised and boloed the miners. Chase's head was found hanging to a tree. Prucha escaped from his assailants, but died in the woods of wounds and exposure. Colonists Tickets to West and North-west via Pennsylvania Lines.

"I had an abscess in my side in the fallopian tube (the fallopian tube is a connection of the ovaries). I suffered untold misery and was so weak I could scarcely get around. The sharp burning pains low down in my side were terrible. My physician said there was no help for me unless I would go to the hospital and be operated on. I thought before that I would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound which, fortunately, I did, and it has made me a stout, healthy woman. My advice to all women who suffer with any kind of female trouble is to commence taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once." — Mrs. IRA S. HOLLINGER, Stilvideo, Ohio. — $5000 for fit if original of stove letter proving age or cannot be produced It would seem by this statement that women would save time and much sickness if they would get Lydia E.

Railroad Traffic Is Impeded - Zoro Temperatures Are Reported from Oklahoma to the Atlantic Coast- Cumberland, Md., Feb. 19.—The worst blizzard for several years prevails here and in the adjacent country. Reports of high winds, accompanied by low temperatures are received from various nearby stations. Snow is drifting rapidly. At Frostburg there are immense drifts and the thermometer is at zero. The most severe weather is along the West Virginia Central railroad. The thermometer at Elkins and the vicinity of Davis and Thomas ranges from four to seven degrees below zero. There are two feet of snow at Elkins. The thermometer at Oakland registered 10 degrees below zero. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has suffered greatly, snow plows being in constant use, but despite all efforts passenger trains are coming in many hours late. Two freight trains east of here are reported to be completely snowbound. Frederick, Md., Feb. 19.—Zero temperature, high winds and huge snow drifts are the conditions in and near this city. Hagerstown, Md., Feb. 19.—Unusually low temperature prevails in all sections of Washington county, the mercury being below zero at nearly every point. Railroads and electric lines are being operated with great difficulty. Indianapolis, Feb. 19.—The mercury has dropped to five degrees below zero and is still falling. From all parts of the state similar reports are received. Railroad traffic is seriously impeded. The cold weather has stopped operations in the oil fields. Kewaskum, Wis., Feb. 19.—Contraction of rails, due to the intense cold, is believed to have caused the destruction of a special freight train going south on the Northwestern road yesterday. The fireman of the train was killed and the engineer and brakemen were injured. Santa Fe., N. M., Feb. 19.—Four Rock Island passenger trains are snowbound 20 miles north of Torrance, on the El Paso & Northeastern railway. A force of shovelers has gone from Torrance to clear the tracks.

New York, Feb. 19.—Detectives made a raid yesterday on the offices of Burns, Wallace & Co., and "Dan Smith" and arrested David C. Barnum, a clerk, and Ernest Matthews. The charge was suspicion of having committed a larceny. The two prisoners were arraigned before a police magistrate and Barnum was discharged. Matthews was held in $1,500 bail. The detectives say that the arrest was in consequence of an advertisement which appeared in a Sunday paper over the names of the firms, in which it was announced that a number of prominent horsemen had placed in their hands $5,000 to bet on a horse in a race to be run yesterday. The advertisement said that it had been decided to allow a certain number of persons to participate in the "good thing" and that sums of not more than $25 would be accepted until the firm had received $2,500 in addition to the $5,000. The detectives say the advertisement was signed "Frank Kelly" and that they waited in the postoffice building and saw Barnum go to a mail box and take out some mail addressed to Frank Kelly. They allege that Frank Kelly is a name used by persons who operate under the name of Dan Smith and Burns, Wallace & Co. Port Huron, Mich., Feb. 19.—Fireman Milton Campbell was crushed under a falling wall at a fire which early yesterday destroyed the St. Clair hotel and a number of business houses, Yardman Albert Worthing, of the hotel, has not been found and it is believed that he was burned to death in the hotel.

In the course of the discussion reference was made to the defeat of the Italian fleet by the Austrian fleet at Lissa in 1866 and Vice Admiral Morin, minister of marine, said: "We have worked 36 years preparing for the day of trial." This remark caused a sensation, the members of the left shouting "Do you want war?" "Yes," retorted the deputies of the center. Minister Morin continued that while Italy did not want war, she was prepared. Justice Shiras Resigns.

DEMAND MORE PAY. Wabash Trainmen Likely to Strike If Their Requests Shall be Refused. St. Louis, Feb. 19.—As a result of the inability of President Ramsay and the committee of the Wabash trainmen and conductors to come to terms, a poll has been ordered by the officers of the orders on the original demand for an increase of 15 per cent, to all freight conductors and trainmen and 12 per cent, to the passenger conductors and trainmen. At a conference between President Ramsey and the committees, the committees offered a compromise on the original demand, to the effect that the increase asked should apply to trainmen and conductors employed on Wabash lines west of a line drawn from Chicago to Danville, excluding 600 miles of the system. This proposition was refused by President Ramsey on the ground that the Wabash lines in Illinois are not and should not be included in the western divisions of the road and that the same wages should apply to them as to the eastern lines. It is stated that unless there shall be an adjustment of the matter a strike will be ordered, as it is believed the trainmen and conductors will endorse the original demand. HITS THE BEEF TRUST. Judge Grosseup Declares that the Combine Seeks to Restrain Trade. Chicago, Feb. 19.—The demurrer of the packers in the so-called "beef trust" case, was overruled by Judge Grosseup in the United States circuit court yesterday, and a motion granted for a temporary injunction. There can be no doubt, said Judge Grossecup, that the agreement of the defendants to refrain from bidding against each other in the purchase of cattle is a combination in restraint of trade; so also their agreement to bid up prices to stimulate shipments, intending to cease from bidding when the shipments have arrived. The same result follows when we turn to the combination of defendants to fix prices upon, and restrict the quantities of meat shipped to their agents or their customers. Such agreements can be nothing less than restriction upon competition, and therefore combination in restraint of trade; and thus viewed, the petition, as an entirety, makes out a case under the Sherman act. The packers did not announce what their next step would be. They have 20 days within which to make up their minds. TORTURE AND MURDER. Methods Employed by the Insurance Fraud Schemers to Secure Money. New York, Feb. 19. -Assistant District Attorney Krotel said yesterday that the insurance fraud case now under investigation in this city promised to develop into one of the most startling ever known in the criminal history of the city. "Before the district attorney's office has finished its investigation of the astounding New York insurance frauds," he said, "I would not be surprised if it were proved that the conspirators even went so far as to murder in cold blood to get bodies for the purpose of collecting policies. We have found that 23 substitute bodies were passed off on the Hancock Insurance Co. alone, and as soon as the plotters are indicted these will be exhumed. The investigation into the remarkable plot has hardly begun." The fate of Sarah Weber, who, it is alleged, died from the effects of brutal treatment she received at the hands of the conspirators, Mr. Krotel said was but a single instance. According to stories told by her relatives Sarah Weber was tortured in order to compel her to aid in the insurance frauds. A THREAT TO STRIKE. It Is Made by Street Railway Employes in Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Feb. 19.—A committee of the members of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes yesterday met General Superintendent Murphy, of the Pittsburg Railways Co., and presented to him a list of grievances and demands which they wanted agreed to within 48 hours or a strike would follow. Mr. Murphy told the committee that the demands would not be agreed to and the committee will report to a meeting of the association to-night, when the question of strike or no strike will be decided. The principal demands of the men are for a uniform increase of wages to 25 cents an hour and recognition of the union by the signing of a contract between the company and the officers of the organization. The disaffected employees are on the lines which were formerly controlled by the Consolidated Traction Co. The employees on the Second avenue lines and the Allegheny lines formerly controlled by the United Traction Co. are not organized and it is understood will not go out if a strike is called. Shrannel Impressed the Moros Shrapnel impressed the Moros. Manila, Feb. 19. While Capt. Pershing was at Bayan, the Moro stronghold in the Lanao district of the island of Mindanao, the Moros consecrated him a datto, which is a priestly office. After the consecration the Moro leaders and Pershing subscribed to peace over a copy of the Koran. When the United States flag was raised over the Bayan forts Pershing's batteries saluted it by fire shrapnel shells, having no saluting cartridges. The execution done by the shrapnel impressed the Moros wonderfully. The Rudloff Heirs Win: Caracas, Feb. 19.—The supreme court yesterday rendered its decision in the suit brought by the heirs of Henry Rudloff, an American citizen, against the Venezuelan government for damages for the annulment of a concession given in 1892 to build a market in Caracas. Judgment was given in favor of Rudloff's heirs. Their claim for $700,000, to be paid by the Venezuelan government, was admitted. Flfty Below Zero. Littleton, N. H., Feb. 19.—As usual in severe cold waves, some startling temperatures were reported yesterday from the little valley towns of the White Mountains. At the base of Mount Washington one thermometer reached 50 below zero, at Alderbrook it was 44 below; at Apthrop 36 and the same at Franconia, while the lowest in this town was 40 below. $4.00 to $8.00 a day guaranteed to every person sending name and address to Scott Remedy Co., Louisville, Kv. Write at once THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS FOR WESTERN CANADA. "There will be thousands of Americans coming up here in the Spring," was the remark made by a farmer from the vicinity of Langdon, North Dakota, when he arrived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the capital of Western Canada, a few days since. He was the advance guard of a large body who are following him, and he has already invested in several farming sections for himself and others and purposes to take up his permanent abode in this country. He went on to say: "Hundreds are coming from my district alone. I know this to be a fact, for many of them are neighbors of mine. The chief topic of conversation with the farmers is the coming immigration in the spring." "The impression general in' the part of Dakota where I live that farmers can get from 10 to 15 cents more a bushel for wheat on the American side of the line than on the Canadian, has not prevented people from turning their eyes to Canada as a place to live in. They know they can get land in this country which is every bit as fertile as that in Dakota at about one-quarter the price. It is safe to say that the exodus from Dakota into Canada this year will exceed the expectations of all Canadians." The Government has established Agencies at St. Paul, Minn.; Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo.; Chicago, Ill.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Wausau, Wis.; Detroit, Sault Ste. Marie, and Marquette, Mich.; Toledo, Ohio; Watertown, S. Dakota; Grand Forks, N. Dakota; and Great Falls, Montana, and the suggestion is made that by addressing any of these, who are the authorized agents of the Government, it will be to the advantage of the reader, who will be given the fullest and most authentic information regarding the results of mixed farming, dairying, ranching and grain-raising, and also supply information as to freight and passenger rates, etc., etc. New Cure for Lame Back Rutledge, Minn., Feb. 16th—Mr. E. C. Getchell of this place relates a happy experience which will be read with interest by all those who have a similar trouble. It appears that last winter Mr. Getchell was seized with a lameness and soreness in his back which grew worse and worse till at last it became very bad and made it very difficult for him to get about at all. After a time he heard of a new remedy for backache which some of his friends and neighbors had had cured them and he determined to try it. The name of the remedy is Dodd's Kidney Pills and Mr. Getchell has proven that it is a sure sure. He says: "I used two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills according to directions and my lame back was entirely cured and I am all O. K. again. Dodd's Kidney Pills are as good as represented." This remedy is very popular here and has worked some remarkable cures of Backache and Kidney Trouble. Lesson in Optimism. "Well, well, that's comforting." "Comforting! Explain."

Mr. Brock says: "After a man has lived in the world as long as I have he ought to have found out a great many things by experience. I think I have done so. igs I have found out to my entire satisfaction is the proper remedy for ailments due directly to the effects of the climate. "For 114 years I have withstood the have witnessed the changeable climate of the United States. During my long life I have known a great many remedies for coughs, colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. I had always supposed these affections to be different diseases. For the last ten or fifteen years I have been reading Dr. Hartman's books and have learned from them one thing in particular: That these affections are the same and that they are properly called catarrh. "As for Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, I have found it to be the best, if not the only reliable remedy for these affections. It has been my standby for many years and I attribute my good health and my extreme old age to this remedy. "It exactly meets all my requirements. I have come to rely upon it almost entirely for the many little things for which I need medicine. I believe it to be especially valuable to old people, although I have no doubts it is just as good for the young."—Isaac Brock. A New Man at 79. Major Frank O'Mahoney, West Side, Hannibal, Mo., writes: "I am professionally a newspaper correspondent, now 79 years old. I have watched the growing power of the Peruna plant from its incipiency in the little log cabin, through its gradations of success up to its present establishment in Columbus, Ohio, and I conclude that merit brings its full reward. "Up to a few years ago I felt no need to test its medicinal potency, but lately when my system needed it, your Peruna relieved me of many catarrhal troubles. Some two years ago I weighed 210 pounds, but fell away down to 168 pounds, and besides loss of flesh I was subject to stomach troubles, indigestion, loss of appetite, insomnia, night sweats, and a foreboding of getting my entire system out of order. During some months I gave Peruna a fair trial, and it rejuvenated my whole system. I feel thankful therefore, for although 79 years old I feel like a young man."—Major Frank O'Mahoney.
