BALLO PRINTING TRADES OF COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, FEB. 28, 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 hissing one-eyed Ben Tillman got recently in New York City had little effect upon the blatant jawsmith, for he "broke out" again this week in the senate when discussing the Indianola affair. Strange, there is no republican in that body brave enough, able and willing to "trim," curb and keep him in his place. How the United States senate has deteriorated! California Afro-Americans are very properly "after" one of their senators (Perkins), a member of the senate's committee on commerce, for voting against the motion to recommend the confirmation of Dr. W. D. Crum as collector of customs at Charleston, S. C. A few months ago Perkins was "stumping" his state begging Afro-American votes for the purpose of electing a republican assembly which re-elected him. Now he is thankling(?) them for the great assistance they rendered the republican party of that state and resultant beneficiary Perkins. "Tis often thus! RASCALLY AND SCHEMING. While the people of the great north are bending their best energies to enhance the common weal and promote the cause of good government, we find on the other hand most of the southern whites engaged in the low calling of persecuting and oppressing those who were once their former slaves. They would have it that they are using their efforts to maintain the purity and integrity of a government uncontaminated by the foul touch and ignorance of an inferior race, who have become the burden of their woes. But Afro-Americans though poor and degraded are no more annoying to the government than any other class of our citizens. Indeed, it may be justly claimed that the Negro element of the nation has been less turbulent than any other people. In the north as well as in the south he has established a reputation for quietude and submissiveness, notwithstanding the fact that in the south our prisons and penitentiaries include largely Negro convicts as their inmates. Out of the pale of sympathy and fair dealing it is not natural to suppose that our people would escape the censure, hate and vindictiveness of those who administer the law. With all prejudiced minds it is one thing to dispense justice and quite another to do justice according to the true spirit and interpretation of the law. We see the people of the north toiling for bread and the maintenance of an honorable livelihood and pushing forward the claims of a free and equal government, while in simple horror and disgust we find the southern whites frittering away their golden moments in teaching and training their countrymen to the cruel task of oppression and caste. Only two decades or more there was a manifest shade of penitence on the part of the southern whites. They claimed to have seen the evil fruits of American slavery and even expressed a purpose to shield, protect and lift up the fallen of our race. They went so far as to boast of their pride in helping the poor Afro-American to rise to higher and better conditions. But the mad inhumanity now betrayed and the every day assaults from the southern dailies and the Associated Press, reveal the rascally schemings and intent of the southern mind against the race. Without the blush of shame upon their cheek, they persecute, dagger, butcher and murder as though Afro-Americans were absolutely insensible of their wrongs. As though we were the merest brutes, they press their fight and ask us to believe that they are our best friends. In defiance of Heaven, as though there be no God, they ply their souls' best efforts in hounding the poor southern Negro to a physical and hopeless death. In the face of these horrible and shocking crimes, they confront and beguile Washington and Council and not a few of our Negro bishops into the blinding belief that Afro-Americans are the veriest wretches they would have them be. May, more, Washington and Council and these bishops, constituting themselves a sort of "we, too," combination to redress the wrongs of the race and to be accounted great in counsel, have joined in this hellish, ungodly and unnatural persecution of a poor, struggling people. How much better for the cause of humanity and God, how much better for the race and the American nation, that the southern whites cease their brutality, cease their savagery and unparalleled villains and become helpers in saving a race and building up free government. Professedly THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1903. Christian people, taking God at His word, why do they not quit their villainy, quit their hypoerisy and prove themselves a high-lived, honorable and enlightened people. True, they are not a people living from hand to mouth, but they are poor, dependent and illiterate, inflated with ideas that they constitute the ruling and superior class of the universe. Slavery blinded and degraded them; but with all their vain boast, they have lived to learn much of profit to themselves. Belief in their wealth, independence and immaculate wisdom has given them false ideas of their own importance before the world. In the face of all the abominations of southern life, the harlory and debasement through miscegenation, they conceive themselves to be the embodiment of all that is pure and virtuous. They offer themselves as paragons of perfection, when in fact they have maintained through two and a half centuries the vilest cesspool of iniquity and illegitimacy. In impotence and rage, they spend their time in striking down those whom they have despoiled. When we speak for our cause they bid us hold our peace, and when we dare to declare ourselves men or tell of our allegiance to a common Father, they lift high their heads and tell us that we have no part in the atonement and blessings of a Saviour's great bounty. Is it not a wonder that such people are permitted to live and prosper? Is it not wonderful that God's great patience continueth to endure so long? But history has left its warnings, and that of the Dutch republic may surface to remind the Christian world that even the southland cannot escape the frowns and displeasures of the omnipotent Jehowah. God lives and reigns and He cannot lie. Black men may toady, if they will, but Heaven's law is sure. BLATANT TOM DIXON. More astounding than the silly twaddle relative to a "terrible conflict" between the white and colored people of this country which southern firebrands of the type of Thomas Dixon, jr., indulge in, is the hearing which the press and people of the north give them. The southern press and people would never treat with such magnanimity any northerner, white or black, who came to them preaching the opposite of that indulged in by Dixon. Tillman and others of their stripe. His attack upon President Roosevelt is as unwarranted as that made upon the Afro-American, and as ridiculous as his statement that the president has made it impossible for himself to be nominated as a candidate for the presidency because south of Mason and Dixon's line he would have the solid opposition of democrats and republicans alike. Dixon seems to overlook the fact that fully 90 per cent. of the republican party of the south is made up of Afro-Americans and that when it comes to the election of delegates to the next national republican convention they will control in many instances in many states of that section, Alabama and North Carolina, the only states in which the party organization is controlled by illy-white republicans, excepted. Also that the great majority of Afro-Americans in that section of the country, as well as in the north, possess a loyalty to President Roosevelt which no man on power on earth can break or thwart in its aim to put into the next national republican convention as many Roosevelt delegates as their power in the south and elsewhere will permit. Dixon, in speaking of the south, ignores these facts, and therefore predicates what he says relative to the renomination and re-election of President Roosevelt upon an exceedingly airy basis. The fraternizing of the black and white laborers in organizations throughout the north grows steadily and will continue to do so, despite the prediction of alarmists like Dixon. Another mistake that individual makes is that he regards the south as the whole country. There is another section of the country, in which we live, which is the controlling element, and will continue to be as long as such men as Dixon show the absolute need of it. The "Reverend" gentleman says: "As a slave the colored man was all right, and he is all right as a laborer, but as an educated man he is a monstrosity." That sentence alone is enough to give him a proper estimate in the mind of every ordinarily intelligent person. When an individual is so manifestly lost to all else except a prejudice against a class, as he indicates being in that one sentence as well as throughout all he has said in Sunday and Monday's daily papers, it is a libel upon the intelligence of any person to accept or regard seriously him or anything he says relative to the Afro-American. If Dixon is right, then all of the leading and best thinkers of this country, and for that matter, throughout the world, are wrong, because the latter steadfastly maintain the need upon the part of the Afro-American of education, culture, etc. He is evidently not familiar with the fact that thousands of northern society men and women among the whites have and will continue to entertain at receptions and other social functions whenever they feel so disposed, educated and refined colored men and women. If the Christian religion is a farce, then there is a possibility of the "sanguinary race war" the "Reverend" individual harps upon. If civilization is to cease and the people of this country are to retrograde under the benign influence of religion and education, Tom's "war" is a possibility. The composite Anglo-Saxon people of this country have nothing to fear as a result of the south's intermarrige bugaboo. His talk of local disturbances in the north between white and colored people is absolutely without foundation, except in the hope which rests within his bosom and those of other southern alarmists of his stripe. That the right kind of education spoils the Negro or any other class is so ridiculous as to permit of no discussion. President Roosevelt has established no precedent in his treatment of the Afro-American. Other presidents of the United States have done all he has done and more, too, socially, politically and otherwise. The loss of any democratic southern vote or all that were cast for McKinley will have absolutely no influence upon the result of the next national election. Whether the president had entertained an Afro-American or not, or does so in the future, will not affect the southern democratic opposition to the republican nominee in the slightest. The same old solid democratic south has remained for years and will continue regardless of any action, favorable or unfavorable to them, any president may have taken or may take. The very thing which Dixon says makes "Senator Hanna the idol of the people of the South" (he means "lily-white" people) would prevent him (Hanna) from securing anything but a minority of the delegates of southern states to the next national republican convention, Alabama and North Carolina, controlled by lily-white republicans, excepted. The fact is, Hanna's lily-white affiliations and President Roosevelt's manly treatment of the Afro-American have caused every prominent Afro-American republican and the great mass of Afro-Americans south as well as in the north, with the possible exception of a few McKinley federal officeholders of color, to become enthusiastic supporters of the president. Dixon's abusive book, "The Leopard's Spots," is no more a sequel to Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" than the most sacriligious publication in print is a sequel to the Bible. They bear absolutely no relation. The fair-minded critics of the country many months ago consigned the libelous Dixon publication to the obscurity it has enjoyed ever since it was put upon the market. Its fitness for reading can best be judged by the author's tirades in Sunday and Monday's papers. It is barely possible, in spite of Dixon's vagaries, that the ten million Afro-Americans will have just a little to say as to their disposition, treatment, etc. It is also barely possible that their participation in every war of this country, particularly the effort of the 200,000 who assisted the government so materially in the war of the rebellion, may have something to do with the great prejudice of southern individuals of the Dixon-Tillman stripe who are always so fond of boasting of their having worn a rebel uniform between '61 and '65. The Afro-American is going to remain in the country of his birth, prosper along all proper lines, live in peace and harmony and be ready, whenever it is necessary, to again help save this government when imperiled, if ever it should be, as they have done upon every occasion in the past, the alarmists of the Dixon-Tillman stripe to the contrary, notwithstanding. "SHA'DOW AND LIGHT." Pathetic, Humorous, Instructive and Historical Publication by a Leading Race Man - Should Be in Every Home. The younger element of our race especially will be greatly benefited and inspired to higher ambitions by perusing carefully "Shadow and Light," an autobiography with reminiscences of the last and present century, by Hon. Mifflin Wistar Gibbs late consul to Madagascar, now of little Rock, Ark. The book narrates in an exceedingly interesting manner the varied career of one of our leading men. Born in Philadelphia in 1823 and living there when that city—almost on the border line between slavery and freedom—was the scene of some of the most stirring incidents in the abolition agitation, he was able as a free colored youth, going to Maryland to work, to see and judge of the condition of the slaves in that state. The life of Mr. Gibbs, who was bereft of a father when 8 years old, forced "to shift for himself," and amid almost insurmountable barriers make his way in the world, is an object lesson, and should be an impetus for the discouraged and down-hearted of our race to pluck up courage and go to their various duties with renewed energy. When 12 years old Mr. Gibbs for the first time saw slaves at work. He was taken to a Maryland plantation by a Mr. Fisher, a prominent Philadelphia lawyer. The latter asked him: "Mifflin, how would you like to be a slave?" His answer was: "I would not be a slave; I would kill anybody that would me a slave!" Other exciting incidents dealing with Mr. Gibbs' experience during and after the war of the rebellion, his trip to the California gold fields, his election to the common council of the city of Victoria, Vancouver Island, in 1866, etc., are told. Mr. Gibbs also tells of the dining of Booker T. Washington by President Roosevelt, publishing many newspaper clippings, designating those condoning the president's course as "Shadow" and those taking a common-sense view of the situation as "Light." A splendid introduction is given it by Mr. Washington. The book is splendidly illustrated, its pages being embellished with portraits of men who have gained distinction in various fields.

Shots Were Exchanged—Three Miners Killed, Two Mortally Wounded and a Number of Others on Both Sides More or Less Seriously Hurt. Charleston, W. Va., Feb. 26.—At Stanniford City, Raleigh county, a terrible battle took place at dawn yesterday between the joint posses of Deputy United States Marchal Cunningham and Sheriff Cook, on one side, and rioting miners on the other, as a result of which three miners were killed, two others mortally wounded and a number of others on both sides more or less seriously hurt. The trouble grew out of the attempt to arrest 34 miners for violation of the blanket injunction issued by Federal Judge Keller last August. Deputy Marshal Cunningham went last Saturday to Atkinsville, a mining town in Raleigh county, to arrest men charged with violating the injunction. He was surrounded by a large party of miners armed with Winchester rifles, who ordered him to leave the place, an order which he quickly obeyed. Sheriff Cook at this time attempted to make some arrests under process issued by the state court, and was treated in a like manner. Cunningham returned to this city and reported to the marshal and district attorney that he could do nothing without a large force and then only at imminent risk of precipitating a bloody conflict. He was instructed to return with men sufficient to serve the process given him, and to do it at all hazard. Before Cunningham returned to Atkinsville, however, Marshal John K. Thompson and S. C. Burdette, attorney for the United Mine Workers, went to the district, speaking most of Sunday and Monday there. They found everything quiet, the rioters having withdrawn from the immediate neighborhood and crossed New river, going into camp 300 strong on the north side. Thompson and Burdette came home Tuesday morning and Cunningham and a strong posse went from here to make the arrests. When Atkinsville was reached, the federal forces were joined by Sheriff Cook and his posse, the coal companies nearby furnishing some guards, and the deputy and sheriff found themselves in command of about a hundred well armed and determined men. The rioters had recrossed the river on Tuesday and were parading up and down before the various coal works, from 150 to 200 men armed with Winchester rifles. They intimidated miners at work, drove away the guards of the mines and even went so far as to disarm one guard and force him to march at the head of their procession. Emboldened by their success, they attempted to burn down a bridge of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad over Piney Gulch and threatened the destruction of other property. Tuesday night they went into camp near Stanniford City. About daybreak Wednesday the combined posses surprised the rioters in their camp and called on them to surrender. The reply was a shot. This was answered by a shot and immediately a furious battle was raging. When it ceased, three of the rioters lay dead and many others were wounded, two of them fatally. Special Officer Howard Smith, of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, was shot in the arm. A striker slipped up on him and fired. Smith dodged the bullet intended for his heart and received it in his arm. He then killed the striker with a pistol. Seventy-three arrests were made, ten falling to the share of Deputy Cunningham and 63 to that of Sheriff Cook. All the prisoners were taken to Beckley, the county seat of Raleigh, where the United States prisoners were given a hearing by Commissioner Dunn and held for appearance here. They will be brought here today. The federal authorities will try to get the state to give up the 63 so that they, may be tried in the federal court, but it is doubtful if it will be done, as the state court will meet on Monday and it is thought they probably can be tried more expeditiously there. S. C. Burdette, attorney for the Mine Workers of America, went to Beckley yesterday to attend to the case of the miners. The injunction which the miners were charged with violating was the blanket writ of Judge Keller in the suit of the Chesapeake & Ohio Coal Agency Co. The defendants in the case were all the coal companies operating in the New river field, 150 members of the Mine Workers of America, by name, including President Mitchell and Secretary Wilson, and all other persons whatsoever, who aided and abetted them. The injunction covered almost every foot of ground in the coal mining region of New river. A Woman's Revenge: Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 26.—Jennia Thomas, a stenographer, 24 years old, went to the room of Fritz Broderson, clerk in a Lincoln commission house, last night, and shot him dead. She then shot herself and probably will die. The young woman says Broderson, who is 30 years old, ruined her a year ago and refused to marry her. Dog's Bite May Kill Father and Son. Kokomo, Ind., Feb. 26.—Wesley Geahring and his son, John Geahring, of Jackson township are perhaps fatally ill from the effects of the bite of a dog, suffering from rabies. Both father and son are at Newcastle, where a madstone is being applied. A stray dog appeared at their home. It was fed. While eating, young Geahring approached it. The dog sprang at the boy, sinking its teeth into the calf of his leg. Mr. Geahring went to the rescue of his son and tried to pull the dog away. The animal attacked and severely bit him. Chicago Bowlers Get the Money.

That we might be "saved from this new and damnable heresy that holds that this is a white man's country," was the prayer offered by Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis in Plymouth church, Brooklyn at the end of a Sunday evening sermon on "Lessons from the Birthday of Abraham Lincoln." Prior to the meeting of the senate's committee on commerce at a conference at the White House, President Roosevelt freely expressed himself in favor of a direct vote on the confirmation of Dr. W. D. Crum, collector of customs at Charleston, S. C. If he were rejected, he said, the president would endeavor to suggest the name of somebody who would be more acceptable to the people of Charleston. He was emphatic, however, in declaring that any attempt to postpone indefinitely or "dodge" a direct vote on the nomination, so as to defer action until after congress adjourned, would be met with a prompt renomination of Dr. Crum as a recess appointmt.—Ex. Finally, the Negro problem itself is by no means so formidable as it seems. It is true the Negro has been excluded from the polls in many states, and his right to hold office has been denied in some instances. On the other hand the race is in a far better condition financially, industrially and morally, than it ever was before. In place of a few political office-holders to represent their advance, the Negro race can now show educators, business men and literary men among the foremost in the Union. Moreover, it has now many thousands of land-owners and independent working men who are enjoying more respect than a good many office-holders even among the whites.—San Francisco Call. Major Taylor, the famous cyclist, is at present in Australia and when the last steamer left Sydney he was the central figure in a big wheel meet in which Taylor and the Australian champion, Don Walker, were the principal contenders. The meet took place at Sydney and was called the Major Taylor carnival. It opened on January 3, when Taylor was pitted against the champion, Walker, and others in a quarter-mile international championship. The affair was won by Taylor in 32:2-5 seconds, and the American crack received a great ovation. When the mail left the question of superiority between the American and Australian champions was still undecided. The opinion was that Taylor was too good for the colonial crack at any distance under a mile. An Ex-Slave Pension Agent Arrested. An Ex-Slave Pension Agent Arrested. Montgomery, Ala.—H. F. Crosby has been arrested charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. He has been selling certificates to ignorant ex-slaves to entitle them to pensions under the Hanna act pending in congress. The poor dupes had been informed that their pensions would begin in January. The pensions not coming on time led to complaint. Crosby makes this statement: "I am only an agent. J. W. Crift, who signs the certificates, is the national president and lives at East Lake, Ala. Callie D. House is national secretary and I suppose lives in Washington, D. C. Gilbert Ware is president of the local association. I have been with them for about four years and an agent about a year." Dixon Flights a "Draw." London, England.—George Dixon, the American pugilist, fought a 20-round draw with Harry Ware (white) of London, at Northampton on the 9th. The stake was $1,500, and a crowd of 3,000 witnessed the contest. Ware seemed to be the cleverer of the two at the start and had the better of the bout up to the fourth round, when Dixon punished him severely about the body. There was heavy fighting until the 14th round. Dixon tired Ware out and could not himself land a knockout blow.

A Postoffice May be Built Over Tracks of Two Railroads in New York City. Washington, Feb. 25.—The cabinet yesterday considered the report of the commission created by congress to acquire a site for a postoffice building in New York City. The commission was composed of three members of the cabinet and after the president and his advisers had heard the report read it was transmitted to the house of representatives by Secretary Shaw. The salient feature of the report is a recommendation that postoffice buildings be erected over the underground railway tracks of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railways in New York City. The commission says that very few sites were offered to it. The commission says it has suggested a wholly new project, namely, the location of postoffice buildings over the tracks of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railway systems. By this means the half hour now lost in transporting the mails from the railroads to the postoffices would be saved and also the expense of the wagons now engaged in this transportation, as pneumatic tubes would be used. The commission reports that negotiations already have been entered into with the two railroad companies. The commission recommends that congress extend its powers so as to enable it to purchase a site offered by the Pennsylvania Railway Co. on Eighth avenue, where the terminal is to be located, the price named to be $2,000,000; also to secure a site and erect a postoffice building over the tracks of the New York Central railroad, or adjacent to the new station to be built by that company. It is estimated that a building can be erected for about $3,000,000. An appropriation of $2,000,000 for the purchase of the Pennsylvania site is recommended. The report says that owing to rise in values since location of the railroad, a site opposite the present site would cost $6,000,000. The Pennsylvania railroad is expected to begin the excavation of the Eighth avenue site at once. A Volcano on the Rampage. Mexico City, Feb. 25.—The news of a violent eruption last Saturday of the volcano of Colima is confirmed. This volcano has been in eruption frequently during recent years. The eruption Saturday was violent and startling, but not more so than those of former years. Stones of great size were ejected and flames shot high into the sky. When the first alarm was over, showers of ashes and finely pulverized rock began to fall. This alarmed the inhabitants of the district, who feared being buried under the debris. A Valuable Gift to the Library. Washington, Feb. 25.—The collection of papers of President Jackson, which were in the possession of Montgomery Blair, postmaster general in President Lincoln's cabinet, and on his death passed to his children, have been given to the library of congress.

They include not merely letters to and from President Jackson, but muster rolls, military reports and various memoranda.

Cook, of 214 Huron street, mother of Mrs. John Mann, of 163 Central avenue, is seriously ill. The Knights of Tabor gave a successful "widow's sale" at the home of Mrs. John Cook last Tuesday evening. Those taking an active part in the organization of a local Elks' lodge met in the rear of No. 34 and 36 Vincent street last evening. The stewardesses of St. John's church gave an enjoyable "Martha Washington tea" at Mrs. Hackett's, on Sago street, Monday evening. Mr. Jesse Turner, an employee of the Kent Co., on Euclid avenue, was recently "turned down" by the Y. M. C. A. people. They refused to renew his full membership card. Civil service examinations of applicants for appointment as draughtsmen will be held in the federal building April 12. These positions pay from $720 to $1,200 a year. Rev. J. A. Brown, many years ago rector of St. Andrew's mission and who has been stationed at Philadelphia for about a year past, left on the 24th for Lompoc, Cal., to take charge of St. Mary's mission. Three weeks ago the editor of The Gazette suggested to J. E. Reed, in The Gazette office, that he stand as a candidate for a republican nomination for councilman-at-large, and he will be made a winner, too. Mr. Wm. Johns an ex-slave, of Brownsville, Pa., desires at once the address of one Lieut. McGlaughney, of the Tenth cavalry during the civil war, and whom he served under. At the close of the war McGlaughney resided on Euclid avenue. Marshall says his friend Myers has gone back on him. That's because he (Myers) knows Marshall would help defeat the entire republican ticket if nominated and because The Gazette brought out and is backing a candidate that can win. Myers and some more of Charles Marshall's friends are now pulling away from him because they have found out that Marshall can't win. Come in, boys, and help nominate the winner, J. E. Reed, for councilman-at-large. 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. The Colonial Quartette, composed of Messrs. Fred Hackley, Charles Leatherman, Walter Randolph and James Lewis, furnished several numbers at the Cleveland Grays' banquet Monday evening, and were repeatedly enceded. Alex. O. Taylor was at the piano. At St. Andrew's church to-morrow at 10:30 a. m., baptismal services will be held. In the evening the rector will preach on "The Forgiveness of Sins." As a prelude, he will comment on the recent utterances of Thomas Dixon, jr. Lenten services will be held every Tuesday and Friday evening. Of the gay debutants none shown more refinement or good taste than Miss Lillie B. Brooks at the reception given recently by her parents, assisted by Mrs. L. Brown, 52 Vine street, in honor of her (Miss Lillie's) 19th birthday. Supper was served to 36 young people. The evening was one of much enjoyment. Miss Lillie bids fair to become a very popular young lady. Success is wished her. Those of our people who patronize the daily papers and "cannot take The Gazette," ought to appreciate fully the severe cathartic doses administered to them the first of the week in Sunday's Plain Dealer, Monday's Leader and News and Herald, when these papers dished up Tom Dixon's rot. It ought to prove highly edifying to the individuals of color who will not patronize a race paper, but will take the daily papers. Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Dean, of Noyes street, elaborately entertained the "Hiawatha" and "Poeahontas" clubs last week Friday evening. Each member of the club represented a book. Some of the costumes and emblems were quite unique. Two prizes were awarded to the persons guessing the largest number of books represented. Mr. and Mrs. H. Taylor winning them. A delicious lunch was served. Mr. and Mrs. Dean are exceptionally successful as home entertainers. A very pretty home wedding occurred at the residence of Mrs. Millie Merritt, 626 Sterling avenue, Tuesday evening, February 24, the contracting parties being Mr. Noah Wise, 670 Sterling avenue, and Miss Nellie Flémming, 613 Sterling avenue. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. J. Johnson. Both are very prominent society people and have a host of friends. They were the recipients of many beautiful and costly presents. About 150 guests were present. The groom is steward at Haltnorth's. Mr. and Mrs. Wise will be at home at 613 Sterling avenue after March 1. One of the worst examples of paid THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1903. interview advertising we have noticed appeared in last Sunday's Plain Deal-for years in any of our local papers, er in its Tom Dixon, jr., "Leopard's Spots" column and a half article. Dixon is one of the most prejudiced southern lecturers in the field. He talked at Dr. Morgan Wood's church last Sunday evening, the papers said, at the earnest solicitation of the latter. This may in a measure explain why Mr. Wood promised so often to speak for our people upon various occasions and always failed to do so. If he earnestly desired such a blatant-mouthed, prejudiced southern ranter to occupy his pulpit as Tom Dixon, jr., he certainly cannot be friendly to our people. "Leopard's Spots" is possibly the most abusive work anent the Negro in America published up to date. 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 daily papers' references to the probable candidacy for the republican nomination for mayor of Mr. McWatters, of the firm of McWatters & Dolan, recalls the fact that last year that firm issued a circular, on one part of which was the portrait of a little colored boy on a wood pile, labelled "Nigger in the Woodpile." Our people of this community who got hold of that circular will hardly forget it, especially since no public apology for the issuance of the same has ever been made by either Mr. McWatters or his partner, Mr. Dolan. They have not dared to issue similar circulars derisive of other classes of our local citizens, and if they have not already learned the fact, it will soon be made manifest to them if Mr. McWatters continues his candidacy, that such advertising does not pay. The mongrel terms "Mick" as applied to the Irish, "Sheeny" as applied to the Jew, "Dutchman" as applied to the high class German, and "Nigger" as applied to the Afro-American, and other expressions of a like nature, are synonymous. The reception given by Forest City Fountain, No. 1423; Western Reserve, No. 1600; Wade Park, No. 1911, of U. O. True Reformers at G. A. R. hall last Monday night, proved very enjoyable indeed. The program: Song, by the Fountains, "Oh, Lord in Mercy;" invocation, Rev. E. S. Doan; address, Geo. Brooks, toast master; welcome address, B. K. Smith, who also introduced Mr. Brooks; solo, J. Noble; "The Negro in Business," J. E. Reed; "The Press," Hon. H. C. Smith; "An Old Issue and a New AMP," A. H. Martin; "The Professional Negro," J. A. Rogers; "Intemperance," Henry Taylor; "The Power of True Reformers, as Evidenced Through Combination," W. R. Griffin (Ohio's chief), of Cincinnati. About one hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down to supper. The program committee, Rev. B. K. Smith, T. W. Cole and O. S. Fox, deserve credit for the splendid program. Hon. Harry C. Smith also replied to Thomas Dixon, jr.'s tirade against the race in Sunday's Plain Dealer and Monday's Leader, throwing "hot shot" into him that was repeatedly and loudly applauded. He also said that Rev. Morgan Wood showed his true feeling towards our people by taking into his pulpit the Negro-hating individual, Dixon, and also showed conclusively why he failed to appear before local Afro-American audiences on three different occasions after promising to do so. On motion of the editor of The Gazette Tuesday evening the Young Men's Progressive Political club of the Twelfth ward, which held a largely attended and enthusiastic meeting at Teutonia hall, corner of Maple street and Scovill avenue, indorsed J. E. Reed's candidacy for a republican nomination as councilman-at-large. Other speakers beside the editor of The Gazette were: Messrs. Geo. W. DeWeese, James F. Beason, Harry Bernstein, Sydney Thompson and Thomas Fleming. Messrs. DeWeese and Smith were the principal speakers of the evening, occupying about an hour each and being splendidly received. Mr. DeWeese is a logical, forceful and entertaining speaker of exceptional effectiveness. During his address he covered many interesting points and "fairly took the hide off of Tom Dixon, jr." The club will hold another meeting next Tuesday evening at the same place, to which all are cordially invited. It reaffirmed by unanimous vote its endorsement of the previous week and request that the editor of The Gazette stand as a candidate for the council in the Twelfth ward. They indorsed John J. MacEwen as a candidate for delegate in the ward and appointed a committee consisting of Hon. H. C. Smith (chairman), "Col." Sydney Thompson and Thomas Flemming to draw and publish a set of resolutions denouncing the convention plan of making nominations and indorsing the popular vote plan, twice indorsed by the republican voters of this city. Mr. George Copes, president of the club, presided, in spite of the fact that he was quite ill. Baptist Minister Tendered His Resignation. London, O.—The drama, "Out in the Streets," given in the interest of the A. M. E. church, was a complete success. Club No. 4 is arranging to play "The District School" the first week in April.—Rev.

"About five or six years ago my sister had a similar experience. She had two large lumps come under her right arm, the result of a sprain. They grew rapidly, and our physician wanted to cut them out. I would not listen to it, and she tried the Cuticura Remedies (as I did a few months ago) with magical effect. In six weeks' time the lumps had entirely disappeared, and have never returned. "I have great faith in the Cuticura Remedies, and I believe they might be as efficacious in similar cases with other people, and thus save much suffering, and perhaps life.

It seems strange to say that I had tried several kinds of kidney medicines without doing me any good. I had backache, pain in my bladder and scalding urine, and the sample package sent me stopped it all in a few days, and with the package I am now using from our drug store I expect to be cured permanently. It is wonderful, but sure and certain the medicine does its work. I was in constant misery until I commenced the use of Doan's Kidney Pills."—CHAS. R. COOK, P. O. Box 90, Salem, Washington Co., Ill. "I wlsh to give my testimony to the efficiency of the Cuticura Remedies in what seems to me two somewhat remarkable cases. I had a number of skin tumours—small ones—on my arms which had never given me serious trouble; but about two years ago one came on my thru. At first it was only about as large as a pinhead, but, as it was in a position where my collar, if not just right, would irritate it, it soon became very sensitive and began to grow rapidly. Last spring it was as large, if not larger, than a bean. A little unusual irritation of my collar started it to swelling, and in a day or two it was as large as half an orange. I was very much alarmed, and was at a loss to determine whether it was a carbuncle or a malignant tumor. "My friends.tried to persuade me to consult my physician; but dreading that he would insist on using the knife, I would not consent to go. Instead I got a small bottle of Cuticura Resolvent and a box of Cuticura Ointment. I took the former according to directions, and spread a thick layer of the Ointment on a linen cloth and placed it on the swelling. On renewing it I would bathe my neck in very warm water and Cuticura Soap. In a few days the Cuticura Ointment had drawn the swelling to a head, when it broke. Every morning it was opened with a large sterilized needle, squeezed and bathed, and fresh Ointment put on. Pus and blood, and a yellow, cheesy, tumorous matter came out. In about three or four weeks' time this treatment completely eliminated boil and tumor. The soreness that had ex- THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1903. FREE—TO MAKE YOU A FRIEND.

Recently I recommended them to an office boy for his father, who was disabled with salt rheum. The man's feet were swollen to an enormous size, and he had not worked for six weeks.

ROASTED TO DEATH. Passenger and Freight Trains Collide Near Berea, O. Six Persons Were Killed and Seven Injured-To Add to the Horror the Wreckage Took Fire -A Horrible Scene Follows. Cleveland, Feb .25.—Six persons were killed and seven injured in a head-on collision on the Big Four railroad near Berea Monday night. Passenger train No. 25, westbound, collided with freight train No. 74, going east. Fire added to the horror of the wreck and those not instantly killed were roasted to death under the wreckage. The passenger had the right of way and the freight was standing on a switch awaiting the arrival of the westbound train. After waiting some time the crew of the freight moved it from the switch on to the main track. At this point it is said the signal system proved false, the lights indicating to the crew of the freight that they had the right of way. The train was started along at a fair speed and had attained a speed of perhaps ten miles an hour when from out of the darkness shone the headlight of the oncoming passenger train, going at the rate of 40 miles an hour. With a terrific crash the two trains came together, crews of both the engines jumping just before their engines came together. In the freight train were two live stock cars and 12 cars laden with coal. The two mail cars of the passenger telescoped its engine and the live stock cars and engine of the freight were telescoped. At this point the climax of the calamity occurred, the lamps inside the mail cars exploding and setting the wreckage on fire. Groans of dying men, bellowing of injured cattle, the cries of frightened passengers and trainmen, and the crackling of the flames all formed a scene horrible in its nature and almost impossible of description. The dead: W. H. Blackwell, head mail clerk, of Cleveland, burned to death in his car. L. M. Walworth, mail clerk, of Cleveland, burned and bruised. Died from injuries. F. W. Kriesmann, of Cleveland, mail clerk, burned to death. T. W. Smiley, mail clerk, of Cleveland, burned to death. Two bodies were found in the ashes of a stock car. They were badly burned and are believed to have been the remains of two tramps. A DEGENERATE RACE. A Preacher Finds that Murder, Polygamy and Other Crimes Flourish in Certain Connecticut Towns. New Haven, Conn., Feb. 24.—Rev. F. L. Hutchins, who has been making a tour of this state in the interests of the Connecticut Bible society, read a paper yesterday at a meeting of pastors of this city, in which he pointed out the results of his observations in certain parts of Connecticut in a way that startled his hearers. Mr. Hutchins said that polygamy is practiced in certain towns in the eastern part of Connecticut. The degeneracy of the inhabitants of the towns referred to, Mr. Hutchins said, was productive of murder and other crimes. He added that another feature of life in that section and in the north-western part of the state was the existence of a class of illiterates whom he called "poor whites." These live in shacks and are an ignorant set. The speaker thought the inefficiency of the country school was responsible in a large measure for such conditions, and he believed also that the church was not holding its own in these districts. HAVE THE PREFERENCE. Civil War Veterans Have Best Chance for Retaining Office. Washington, Feb. 25.—The administration's policy to give the veterans preference in office, other things being equal, is reiterated in the following letter which Postmaster General Payne has sent to a representative in congress: "Referring to our interview regarding the appointment of a postmaster at _____, and to your request, that Mr. _____ be appointed, I beg to say that the records of the department show that the present postmaster has an excellent record as an official. He is a veteran of the civil war, with a most excellent record as a soldier. It is the wish of the president to retain in the service old soldiers who have made good public officials and against whom no charges of misconduct have been preferred, as is the case in this instance. The Grand Army veterans residing in _____ have entered a protest against Mr. _____ (the present postmaster's) displacement. "Under these circumstances we are not disposed to make a change in the office named." Would Pay $200,000 to ex-Queen Lil Washington, Feb. 25.—The senate committee on appropriations has concluded its consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill. The bill contains an appropriation of $200,000 to ex-Queen Liluokalani, of Hawaii. Dewey Wins Prize Money Cases Washington, Feb. 24. The United States supreme court on Monday decided the prize money cases brought by Admiral Dewey in behalf of himself and the officers and men of his fleet on account of the vessels sunk at Manila and afterward reclaimed, in their favor, but the cases of Admiral Sampson for whose name that of Admiral Taylor was substituted in his own behalf and that of his officers and men on account of the Maria Theresa, sunk at the battle of Santiago, were decided adversely to the claimants. Mrs. Dowle Is Divorced. Clarinda, Ia., Feb. 24.—Mrs. Elizabeth North-Dowie was yesterday granted a divorce from John Murray Dowie, father of the Zion leader, John Alexander Dowie, of Chicago. Mrs. Dowie, who had deserted her husband, alleged that he was repulsive, overbearing and cruel. One of the stipulations of the divorce was that she was to allow her husband $5,000 and this sum was paid him in gold. As Mrs. North, a widow, Mrs. Dowie was probably worth $100,000 at the time of her marriage to Mr. Dowie. DIRTY ATTACK. (Continued from First Page.) intellectual progress cannot be measured in any such way as that. Mr. Dixon cannot see anything but A MAN IN A-WHITE SKIN. "A MAN IN A WHITE SKIN. "If all the colored people would turn white to-night with straight hair the problem would be solved so far as Dixon and his kind are concerned. In 50 years these people would be in white society. It would be forgotten that they were once black, and Dixon and his kind would be recognizing them. "If the white man is to build on the platform outlined by Dixon this nation will die the death of other nations that have loved sin rather than righteousness." Rev. E. D. Dandridge, the well-known pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, said in commenting on Mr. Dixon's statements: "His statements will not be taken seriously by the great mass of white people. I don't think that he has religion in his heart. His talk about a race war is the height of folly, and he is not speaking the sentiment of the better class of white people in the south. However, Mr. Dixon's attack on President Roosevelt is in keeping with the great portion of southern sentiment. He scores President Roosevelt, but doesn't give logical reasons for doing so. Mr. Dixon will find before he is many years older that his solution of the problem is far from reason and Christian sentiment. Furthermore, his remarks are an insult to the better class of the white people of the United States who are doing so much for the uplifting of the Negro morally, spiritually and intellectually." HERE TO STAY. There is no immediate danger of a race war in the United States. It will take something more than the wild rantings of a southerner like Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr., to precipitate a struggle of that kind. The colored man has a place in this country, of which he is, under the constitution, a native-born citizen, and he will continue to occupy his place. The race problem will be met and solved without a resort to bloodshed such as this North Carolina preacher predicts. The American people are great enough, and fair enough, and honest enough to dispose of this question in the right way, and they will do it. When a Virginia colored man, at a conference or representatives of his race in Washington the other day made a passionate appeal to the Negroes to rise, arm themselves, and fight for their rights, a wave of ingnation swept over the south. But that man only spoke for himself; he did not represent the colored men of the south or those of the north. They regard what he said as idle. It is the same with Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr. He does not speak for the whites of the south. He represents nobody but himself when he declares in favor of a war of extermination against the Negroes. The truth is that the south needs the Negro. It could not get along without him. He does the work upon the plantation, in the mines and in some of the mills. He is the burden bearer of that section. Whenever there is a proposal to deport the Negroes, the southern newspapers condemn it. That was the case recently when it was suggested that many colored men could find work upon the sugar plantations of the Hawaiian islands. The southern newspapers urged against their going to the islands. They pointed out the advantages of residence in the south, and told the black men they would find in Hawaii conditions worse than existed during the days of slavery. Would a northern minister be permitted to take the other side of the race question, which Rev. Thomas Dixon discussed in Cleveland Sunday, anywhere in the south? If such a thing were possible it has never yet been done.—Cleveland Daily Leader, February 24. REV. LUKE W. WHITE, D. D., Completes a Theological Course - An Energetic Pastor Still a Student - A Good Representative Wanted. Newark, O.—Rev. Luke W. White, pastor o fTrinity A. M.
