THE MAN, TOM DIXON. What can be the matter with Tom Dixon? Tom says, if he were devil, he would bar the Negro from hell, for he is not worth hell-room. Now it does not matter, that Tom is a preacher. Tom speaks and writes under the influence of strong drink and his disease is hereditary. It is rather unfortunate for the white race and the country that such a freak in nature was born in America, because the Christian world has about conceded that Americans stand in the lead of all nations. But when such a stupendous conglomeration of the human and the animal appears among enlightened mankind as ambassador of Jesus Christ, it is not a little bewildering at least to find such creatures making a mock of the works of God. He declares that if he reigned as the keeper of hell or if he only had a little hell of his own, he would exclude every Negro from an indwelling. The poor lunatic presumes to say that hell is only ordained for white men, and impressed with the gravity of immediate exigencies he would not admit the Negro into the infernal regions. But Tom Dixon need entertain no grievous fears about that matter. He has secured his own title to a free entrance and he will certainly have all he can manage in looking after that title. The devil is only a subalternate executing what has been predestined for those who should dwell in the lake of unquenchable fire, and it is not left to his choice to say who shall or shall not be admitted into his satanic kingdom. For such blasphemy Dixon has committed the unpardonable sin; he has sinned against the Holy Ghost and for him there can be no atonement. The civilization of Americans cannot tolerate conduct on the part of one of their own, who has simply disgraced the age of our new civilization. Had any Afro-American given expression to such language as has been used by this traducer of God's humanity, he would at once be spurned and denounced as an escapade from the insane asylum. Upon what ground, then, can Dixon be excused for such ravings, unless he claims exemption from censure and reproach that he is a human monster and unworthy the respect of intelligent people? THE RANKEST INCONSISTENCY. A most glaring inconsistency prevails in the south to-day touching the action of President Roosevelt in making appointments. The president has been generous, impartial and liberal. Irrespective of whatever claims, he has appointed men from all parties to office and he has made special choice of good men from the democratic party. As a man of deeds, he has shown himself strictly unbias. No republican president has ever yet accorded such a cordial recognition to democrats and has done more to induce a feeling of cordial good will and friendship. In cases of positive need, where he was entreated by influential democrats to bestow his official favor, he has promoted democrats to official trust as a matter of actual relief. He has done so at times even at the risk of incurring the criticism and censure of his own party. Viewing the situation from the broadest and most patriotic standpoint he has adopted a policy of reconciliation while he labors to bestow his favor upon the humblest of American citizens as well. Against this action, men of the south have sent forth their indignant protest. They rail against the administration as though the government more than ever were under the rule of Frank Pierce or James Buchanan. Indeed, Mr. Cleveland in no instance was ever called to endure the jeers and childish epithets that southern democrats are heaping upon Mr. Roosevelt. The southern press has overreached itself in its firebrands and undeserved denunciation of the man who has shown himself a public friend and benefactor. President Roosevelt is on the progressive order, and while he has inaugurated a plan both conservative and independent, yet he has sought to render a just and impartial service to all citizens, irrespective of races. In this dealing he deserves the gratitude, sympathy and support of every good citizen and true patriot. In the face of present conditions, Mr. Roosevelt is called to confront embarrassments not altogether contemplated. But like a brave and strong man, like a patriot and a soldier, he shoulders the responsibility like a man sworn to duty. No executive since the days of Washington has commended himself, and none has been put to a stronger and more trying test. The country has never been more pros- perous, has never stood upon a basis more enduring, and yet the murmurings of discontent from the south only bespeak the wanton purpose of a certain element to handicap the government of the people in furtherance of designing ends. It seems to be a movement of unwarranted indulgence and one that carries with it a growing threat of defiance. How inconsistent then and how wicked and unjust the outcry against the man who as the nation's head these unscrupulous parasites who seek to dethrone the authority of government and law. It is unfortunate for the republic that in so many years after reconstruction a blind and useless agitation should be made a matter of discussion. NEW DIALECT POEMS. A book of poems entitled "Black Smiles," or "The Sunny Side of Sable Life" by Franklin Henry Bryant, member of the race, and published by the Blackfoot Studio, Nashville, Tenn., is just out. With the exception of the two last poems, "Mother" and "An Ode to Mother Earth," all are in Negro dialect, much on the same order as Paul Laurence Dunbar's. The one on "Mother" is exceptionally pretty and with it appears a picture of a little boy kneeling before his mother saying his prayers before leaving for "Dreamland." The other poems, "Keep Smiling," "Cwismus Grunter," "The Million Seed," "The Secret of it," "Shaggy," "In Days Gone by," "Pass Dat Baskit," and "Possum" are also illustrated. The pictures help to bring the scenes more vividly to one's mind. "Pass Dat Baskit" and "Possum" are true to life and would make any one smile. In the first named the story of the race between "Missus Dooney" and "Sister Mandy's" son to secure the last "Biskit" is amusing in the extreme and reaches a climax when the poet says: "Missus Dooney nebber heard me,—dat's duh way dat she let on— dat's duh way dat she let on,— 'N her little piece of biscuit in er minute would be gone; 'N dare wan't but one mo' lef,' suh;-- man, I stretched up in muh cheer; Says I wif mif fawk uplifted 'Pass dat biskit, don't yer hear!' "One cannot help but give his whole attention to the poem to see what the outcome will be. The poem on "Possum" shows conclusively that love of it is a weakness of the whites as well as members of our race, some even going to the extent of stealing it. In this case "ole massa" was found 'bendin' right 'bove dat possum." His last paragraph, therefore, is self-explanatory: Mandy says, "Sam, ax duh blessin'", iz down to duh dish we sot. Kare dora wuz or plenty, possum Kaze dare wuz er plenty possum still remainin' in duh pot. Says I, "Massa Jesus, suh, bless dis possum fer ouh sake, 'N may dat which mas' n miss' got gib um bofe duh stummuck-ache!" The price of the book is only 50 cents. Mr. Bryant is using the proceeds to help himself through a course of medicine in Meharry college. By buying a copy of the book you will be assisting him materially in a worthy cause and also add a valuable addition to your library. MRS. ELMENDORF. A Tribute to an Earnest Christian Woman-A Grandmother Gone. Erie, Pa.—Elizabeth Waters Elmendorf, wife of John Elmendorf, whose funeral took place at St. Paul's church March 14, was born at Monroe, Mich., April 12, 1838. Her parents, Hamilton and Lucinda Waters, moved to Erie when she was less than a year old, so that with the exception of time spent as a student at Allegheny college and as a teacher at Newburg, N. Y., almost her entire life has been spent in Erie. Mrs. Elmendorf was twice married. Her first husband, Henry Burleigh, died in 1871, leaving four children, Reginald, Harry, Adah and Eva. Elzie and Bessie are the children of her second marriage. All of her children, except Adah, survive her, and her death leaves her sister. Mrs. Louisa Williamson, the sole survivor of her father's family. Mrs. Elmendorf was endowed by nature with a fine mind, to which her liberal education gave the added charm of culture and intelligence. She loved books and was especially devoted to the study of the Holy Scriptures. She was a devoted wife, a careful and tender mother, a good and helpful friend. Although the care and education of her large family absorbed the most of her time, yet she was an active member of the Woman's Christian association and was especially devoted to the Woman's Friendly society of St. Paul's church. She loved the services of her church and was always an earnest and consistent Christian. Her Christian faith shown out clear and bright during a long and severe illness, which she bore with cheerful patience. Knowing how precious her life was to her family and friends, she made a brave struggle to regain her health, but was always ready to accept the will of her Heavenly Father. At the last, with undimmed faith and loving submission, she entered within the veil. "Where loyal hearts and true, Stand ever in the light, All rapture through and through In God's most holy sight."

He then said that if the newspapers would let things alone, everything would be all right. He said it was nothing but sentiment in the north, and that did not amount to much. We hope that those who read this article will prove to this gentleman and others of the same opinion that all we want is an opportunity. GUNS AND RAZORS USED. United States Minister to Liberia Had a Lively Affray at the Legation Building. New York City.—Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, United States minister to Liberia, and G. Washington Ellis, secretary of legation, were passengers on the incoming steamship La Champagne, which arrived last week Monday night. Both are Afro-Americans. They came in under assumed names, Crossland appeared on the passenger list as J. R. Aubrey and Ellis gave the name of G. Washington. They gave as their reason for not being listed that they wished to avoid public attention. According to cables received in this country, Crossland had an altercation at the legation building with Thomas Faulkner on October 6. Faulkner was shot three times by Crossland, but recovered. Crossland says that the shooting was done in self-defense. According to his story, he had trouble with Faulkner over the legation building. The building, he said, was owned by a Mr. Hill. Faulkner received permission from the owner to occupy two rooms in it and, representing he was the agent of the building, when the legation moved in, he collected rent. Crossland boarded with Faulkner and his wife. After some time, as Mr. Hill was not receiving his rent, he came to inquire about it. Crossland said that after hearing the story Hill decided to lease the building to the United States. Crossland then ordered Faulkner to move out. He said that was the cause of the shooting and that this was followed by Faulkner assaulting him with a razor. On October 6, the minister said, he was assaulted by Faulkner without provocation and in self-defense shot him. Minister Crossland denied the story that reached here that the trouble with Faulkner was of a domestic nature. He said he has not come home to resign, but was simply on a leave of absence. Secretary Ellis, who recently was appointed, says he is going to Washington for instructions. Hanna's "Right Bower" on Roosevelt Washington, D. C.—Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, commonly known as "Old Figgers," broke his silence recently and lifted up his voice to prophesy that Roosevelt would be nominated for president by the next republican convention without opposition. "Roosevelt has the people with him and no combination could take the nomination from him," he continued. "If it did, that man would be defeated at the polls. It would be political suicide." Grosvenor said that the only talk of opposition to Roosevelt came from the southern states and it made no difference, as the usual number of democratic electoral votes would come from the south, no matter who the republicans nominated. Wellsburg, W. Va., Notes. Mr. Nathan Childs and Mrs. Henderson are sick.—Mr. Edward Childs was in Brilliant Thursday.—There will be a social at the A. M. E. church Thursday evening.—A wedding is expected here soon.—S. C. Ford and Mr. Thomas, of Steubenville, were here last Sunday.—Mr. W.

This is its second appearance here this season. SOME RACE DOINGS. J. Madison, Bell, of Toledo, who died recently, was Ohio's oldest Afro-American poet. Thrice has President Roosevelt appointed Dr. W. D. Crum collector at Charleston, S. C. It is still "up to" the senate to conform or reject him. At the Deuber Watch Case factory, Canton, O., George P. Titus is employed as an expert gold-melter and gold-plater. He is the only Afro-American in the world so engaged. If Mark Hanna's bill to pension exslaves should become a law, there are many fellows now passing for "white" who would be around trying their best to prove that they were "colored."—Dallas (Tex.) Express. Every Negro newspaper, preacher, teacher and anyone who can read should make haste to inform the illiterate that the bill is a humming from start to finish.—Charlotte (N. C.) Star of Zion. At Troy, N. Y., Garnett Baltimore, an Afro-American, has been appointed by a democratic mayor to be the landscape engineer, and will have the entire supervision of laying out, grading, etc., of Troy's $100,000 Warren Hill park. The legislature of Alabama will vote $1,500 to defend its revised constitution in the United States supreme court. Virginia has passed a law appropriating $10,000 for a similar purpose. Lawyer Wilford H. Smith, formerly of Galveston but now of New York, will either win the Alabama case or know the reason why.—Austin (Tex.) Watchman. The insincerity of the everlasting prating by southern white men about preserving the Anglo-Saxon type pure and undefiled, is shown in the charge delivered to the grand jury by Judge Anderson, of the circuit court at Vicksburg, Miss. Among other things, he called the grand jury's attention to the open vice of white men living in adultery with black women.—N. Y. Age. Miss Meta Vaux, Warrick, of Philadelphia, the Afro-American sculptor, has done work that has called forth praise from many intelligent sources. Her conception and execution of "The Man Eating His Heart," "Carrying a Dead Body," "The Wretched," and the "Thief On the Cross," clearly evince not only the soul of an artist, but the fine, exact, powerful and harmonious working of hand and brain. The Negro legislator has, in numerous instances, been a benefactor of his despised clientelle. Hon. H. C. Smith, of Cleveland, O., when a second time member of the Ohio legislature in 1896, procured the passage of an anti-lynching law. This law has stood the test of the courts, and very recently a decision was awarded the heirs of "Click" Mitchell, who was some time ago lynched at Urbana, Champaign county, O. The verdict required also the payment of interest, making the amount $5,500 forfeited by the county for the unlawful taking of that young man's life. This victory will cool off lynch law considerably in Ohio.—Charleston (S. C.) Southern Reporter Bully for Ohio; that state has set a splendid example for all the other states which feel that they must indulge in the pastime of lynching. It has just been reported that the county of Champaign, in that state, has paid over $5,500 (judgment and interest) to the heirs of "Cilck" Mitchell, a colored man, who was lynched at Urbana six years ago. These damages have been collected under a law of Ohio making the county where lynchings occur so liable, and the long delay in payment is due to litigation to test the validity of the state law. It has stood the test in the highest courts, and the result of this example has been to force upon the county authorities more zeal in upholding law and order against negrophobist mobs. This law was enacted through the instrumentality of Editor Harry C. Smith, of The Cleveland Gazette, when he was a second time member of Ohio's lower house. Similar measures have been before one or two of the state legislatures south and north, but have not as yet been made into law. It is better if the states themselves, instead of the nation, would make such laws. The measures could not be dodged then by both judge and jury on the ground of not being a local law; but then willy or nilly we must have done with lynching. We congratulate both ex-Representative Smith and the state of Ohio on the law and its workings.—Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Reduced Fares via Pennsylvania Lines.

Editor Chayons "Roasts" Tyler Columbus, O.—The Standard, the local race publication, had the following paragraph in a recent issue: The Dispatch is independent. Ralph Tyler, its powerful (?) attache, has not been "consulted" on local matters, as we understand he is engaged chiefly in international affairs and gas. He dislikes one certain Negro editor, but since Mr. Tyler proved himself a failure in the role, he ought to have more charity. Any candidate, we imagine, would do well not to excite the envy of Ralph, for he is a natural born knocker. Somebody told us to holler "Vindicator" at him and he would run like a turkey. LABOR'S DEMANDS. Many Strikes Were Inaugurated on April 1. About 20,000 Men in the Vicinity of New York City Want an Eight-hour Workday—Strikes in Chicago and Other Cities Begun. New York, April 2.—A general strike in the building trades which it is believed will involve between 15,000 and 20,000 men, and extending throughout Westchester county to the Connecticut border, was inaugurated Wednesday. The strike has extended to points further up New York state and to places in Connecticut. The contractors as well as the men are organized and are prepared for a siege. The men in Westchester county demand an eight-hour day with Saturday half holiday. At Orange, N. J., 500 plumbers and 400 painters went on strike, demanding increase of pay and control of helpers. At Montclair, N. J., about 150 plumbers and as many painters and paperhangers quit work, demanding a wage increase of 25 cents a day. Chicago, April 2.—Five strikes, involving over 5,000 men, were inaugurated yesterday in addition to the spreading of that of the tanners and curriers. Two thousand of the latter refused to go to work. Lake vessels are tied up by a strike of marine firemen, oilers and water tenders to enforce a demand for $52 a month until October and $60 thereafter. Five hundred tailors demand rooms in which to work, in lieu of using their homes as workshops. Excavating teamsters demand an increase of 25 cents a day and called a strike in all barns where the union scale is not paid. Steamfitters numbering 700 declined to work pending the settlement of a demand for $4.50 a day—an advance of 50 cents. Sharon, Pa., April 2.—The union bricklayers went on strike here yesterday and as a result building operations are partially tied up in Sharon and South Sharon. The strike is caused by the contractors refusing to grant the demands of the men for an eight-hour day at $4.50. the rate they are now getting for nine hours' work. All but a few of the bricklayers employed by the United States Steel Corporation at South Sharon also struck because the company wanted them to work ten hours a day. Wheeling, W. Va., April 2.—The building trades strike was inaugurated Wednesday and with but few exceptions finds the carpenters, tinners and roofers idle. Terre Haute, Ind., April 2.—Ten thousand coal miners in Indiana did not go to work yesterday pending an agreement on disputed points. John Mitchell and a committee of the miners will meet with representatives of the operators in Chicago to-day and it is expected they will reach a settlement. Indianapolis, April 2.—Three hundred bricklayers struck yesterday for an increase in pay from 50 to 60 cents an hour. The contractors have offered an increase of five cents an hour. At Vedersburg, Ind., the employees of the Wabash Clay Co., numbering 109 men went on strike. The strikers demand an increase of $2 \frac{1}{2}$ cents an hour and recognition of the union. At Logansport, Ind., 250 masons and bricklayers struck. All work has been stopped. At Fort Wayne the painters and paperhangers struck, the bosses refusing to sign the new wage scale. At Peru, Ind., 150 Italians, working on the Indianapolis & Northern traction grade two miles south of Peru, struck for $1.75 a day. They were getting $1.50. At Danville, Ill., every journeyman plumber struck for an increase in wages. Five hundred men are idie on account of the strike. At Evansville, Ind.; between 700 and 800 men and boys, in ten of the 11 furniture factories went on strike for more pay and shorter hours. ENDED IN DEATH. An Automobile Race Results in Two Men Being Killed. Nice, France, April 2.—Count Elliot Zborowski, of New York, was killed yesterday in an automobile hill climbing race between here and La Turbie. He was thrown out of his machine and landed on his head. He was born in New York City. The family came to America from Poland and became wealthy through real estate transactions. Baron De Pallange, who acted as Count Zborowski's chaffeur, died last night of the injuries he received when he was thrown from the car. The witnesses of the start of the race say that Zborowski showed considerable nervousness while awaiting his turn, he being the fifth starter. He was a tall man, about 40 years of age, very dark complexioned, with sharp features and heavy upturned moustache. Imprudently he wore white kid gloves, which prevented him from having a firm grasp of the brake. At the signal to go he started at half speed which was soon increased to full speed. The accident occurred at the first turning of the road. The shock was terrific and Zborwoski was shot from his car and struck the wall beside the road with his head about six feet from the ground. He fell to the ground dead, with his arms outstretched. A Fatal Knockout.

The Missionary society of Antioch church gave a reception in honor of Rev. C. H. Bailey at the church on Wednesday evening, April 1. The editor of The Gazette delivered the address of welcome. Charles E. Marshall, candidate for councilman-at-large, is not a representative race man by any means. His election would do our people more harm than good. Scratch his name off the ticket. Give him a dose of his own medicine—the kind he tried twice to administer to Hon. H. C. Smith when a republican candidate for the legislature. Chas. Marshall twice bolted the nomination of Hon. Harry C. Smith (in 1895 and 1899), when running as a republican candidate for the legislature, for no reason whatever. He is therefore not entitled to our votes. Remember this on election day, April 6. Had Marshall had his way and defeated Mr. Smith, Ohio would not now have the best civil rights and anti-lynching laws in the country. The Twelfth Ward Progressive Political club at its meeting Tuesday evening reaffirmed its resolution of two weeks ago to the effect that it would NOT support Charles E. Marshall and supplemented that action by expelling Sidney Thompson, whose employers had compelled him to change in order to save his job. In the absence of Rev. E. D. Dandridge, Mr. I. A. Lawson preached Sunday morning at Shiloh church, and Rev. Mr. White in the evening. Rev. Dandridge is very sick. Dr. G. I. Mottley is attending him. Union services were held at Mt. Zion church Sunday afternoon. Rev. J. C. Turner, of the East End mission, preached. If you want to do the manly and proper thing, from a republican and a race standpoint, do-not cast a vote for Chas. E. Marshall, candidate for councilman-at-large, when you go to the polls on election day. Pass the word along to this effect. He is not deserving, having bolted the republican ticket in 1895 and 1899, when he bitterly opposed the election of Hon. Harry C. Smith. Tell your friends not to vote for Chas. E. Marshall on election day. When a member of the race goes so far as to twice bolt the nomination of a representative race man like the editor of The Gazette has upon all occasions proven to be, he should be defeated. Marshall's opposition to Mr. Smith, especially that of a week before election in 1899, was traitorous, anything but republican, and so flagrant as to justify the united opposition of all manly and right-thinking Afro-Americans and republicans in general. There was and is absolutely no excuse for it. Scratch his name off the ticket. It is not generally known among our colored population that the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company is now writing insurance in their favor, as it once did not, but permit me to say that this is now a fact, and Mr. Frank E. Minter, who was for six years private secretary at Booker T. Washington's school in Tuskegee, Ala., has been secured to write insurance of this company in favor of colored people. He can be seen at 402 Superior building (opposite City hall) from 8:30 to 11:00 o'clock a. m., or his residence (42 Maple street) in the evening. Had Charles Marshall and others of his friends had their way in 1895 and 1899, Mr. Smith would have been defeated both times. If that had taken place we would not now have the best civil rights and anti-lynching laws in the country, the only ones that are effective. Manly Afro-Americans have no use for a man like Marshall, who will undertake to defeat a regular republican nominee and then try to get out of it by means of vain denials for the sake of securing their support for himself a candidate in the present campaign. Pass the word along among your white friends as well as friends of the race. There are many other good reasons why this individual is not the man of our class for the place he seeks. He has absolutely no claims upon us on the ground of race, color or party. Scratch Marshall's name off the ticket. Lockland and Wyoming, O.—The plantation supper at the A. M.

Mr. Thompson is unquestionably one of the most versatile and effective writers the race has in this country, and his place will be quite difficult to fill. He has at different times edited The World and Freeman at Indianapolis, besides his later work on the Washington sheet. His talents have been uniformly appreciated everywhere except in the estimation of E. E. Cooper, who is no one's friend longer than the individual is willing to be domineered over or victimized.

Y., April 1.—The verdict in the Burdick inquest handed down by Judge Murphy yesterday, while stating that the identity of the murderer of Edwin L. Burdick has not been proven, practically charges Arthur R. Pennell, the dead lawyer, with the crime. Pennell had a stronger motive than any one else for putting Burdick out of the way, Judge Murphy says, and all the facts brought out by the inquest constitute just grounds for the issuance of a warrant against Pennell if he were alive. The verdict is softened somewhat so far as it relates to Pennell by the statement that if Pennell were alive he would be given the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. In the opinion of Judge Murphy, Burdick had no woman guest in his "den" on the night of the murder and the crime was not the work of a burglar. He exonerates Mrs. Gertrude B. Paine and Miss Hutchinson from any connection with the crime and in conclusion criticises Mrs. Maria Hull and censures Mrs. Burdick. Two Killed, 16 Injured Waterbury, Conn., April 1.—In a collision between a wild engine and a passenger train on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad at South Brooklyn yesterday two persons were killed and 16 injured. The dead men are Engineer Chapman, of the wild engine, and Fireman Newman of the passenger train. Both engines were demolished and their boilers blown up. The baggage car next to the passenger engine was telescoped. Boston, April 1. After having devoted six months to the duty of selecting a general secretary to succeed J.

A London merchant has servant who, although possessing many good qualities, was at first very forgetful. This fault was especially annoying at meal times, when something essential was sure to be lacking from the table,relates the New York Times. One day the family were seated at the table and the bell was rung as usual. The girl hurried to the dining-room. "Maria," said Herr B——, "just run and fetch the big stepladder down from the attic and bring it here." Maria, who had been disturbed at her dinner, gave a grunt of dissatisfaction, but ran up the three flights of stairs to fetch down the ladder. In about five minutes she returned to the room panting with her exertion. "Now," said Herr B——, "put it up at that end of the room and climb to the top." Maria did as she was told, and when she was at the top Herr B—— quietly observed: "Maria, you have now got a better view than we have; just look around and tell us if you can see any salt on the table. My wife and I could not find it." This settled the business. Maria has This settled the business. Maria has never forgotten the lesson.

CREATING BACKS DONAS KDNEY PILLS Nothing will "lay you up," "play you out," "put you to bed" quicker than a kidney cold. Thousands feel the first effect of colds in the kidneys. Backache, rheumatic pains, urinary disorders, retention of the urine, infrequent and too frequent urinary discharges tell of kidneys out of order. Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills from common backache to dangerous diabetes. A. T. Ritenour, owner of the wood yard at 125 East Cork Street, Winchester, Va., says: "Ever since I had La Grippe I have been a sufferer from kidney troubles, which made themselves apparent in racking pains through the region of the kidneys and across the small of my back. The pains were always severe, and sometimes so sharp and biting that they compelled me to take to my bed. The kidney secretions furnished further evidence of disorders. They were off color, irregular, and painful of passage. Added to this there was an annoying weakness. The newspaper advertisements of Doan's Kidney Pills attracted my attention, and I procured a box of that remedy at Franck Baker & Sons' drug store. The relief I experienced was magical. The pills lifted me from my bed of sickness, placed me on my feet, and made me a well man. I can work as well as ever. Doan's Kidney Pills, I believe, saved my life. They are a great remedy to stop kidney troubles resulting from colds."

"Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a household reliance in my home, and I would not be without it.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women. SURE CURE FOR RHEUMATISM. In This Case the Tomato Proved to Be Just as Good as the Potato. "I have been cured of rheumatism strangely,' said a fat man, according to the Philadelphia Record. "It happened in this manner: 'I was grooming in my office the other day when the janitor of the building entered and said: "'Are you ill, sir?' 'Oh, I'm nearly crazy with rheumatism, I answered. 'Well, sir,' said he, 'I tell you what you do. Just you get a raw tomato and carry it in your pocket and in a little while you will be all right." "I got the raw tomato, and I carried it, and, by Jove, the rheumatism left me. So I called in the janitor and made him a present of a box of good cigars. "You cured me, William, I said to him in a hearty voice. 'With your raw tomato you cured me entirely.' "Raw tomato, sir?' says William. 'Why, sir, you misunderstood me. I didn't say raw tomato. I said it was a raw potato that you were to carry.'" The Best Way to Teach History. The idea of object teaching, the foundation of the Froebel system of instruction, has in recent years met with general acceptance and adoption in almost every branch of education, high and low, with resultant benefits which are beyond question. Even such subjects as grammar and arithmetic are now taught in this way so far as practicable, and with marked advantage over the old dry and abstract method. The practice of teaching history by making pilgrimages to the very scenes where great historical events have occurred is an application of the same principle and much more valuable in the way of impressing the reality of history upon the minds of the young than any amount of mere text-book instruction could be. A recent issue of the "Four-Track Series," published by the New York Central management, gives a description of the historical sites in the immediate vicinity of New York, which will be of exceeding value for the guidance of teachers and others who desire to adopt this method of historical study. One of the best ways to develop civic pride and promote good citizenship lies in this very direction, an increase of knowledge of local history being accompanied with an increase of interest in matters of local government and a higher concern for what affects the welfare and good name of the community.—From Leslie's Weekly. An Adjustable Limit. It was a Maine girl of whom the story is told that she refused to marry a most devoted lover until he had amassed a fortune of $10,000. After some expostulation he accepted the decree and went to work. About three months after this the vivacious young lady, meeting her lover, asked: "Well, Charley, how are you getting along?" "Oh, very well, indeed," Charley returned, cheerly. "I've saved $18." The young lady blushed and looked down at the toes of her walking boots, and stabbed the inoffensive earth with the point of her parasol. "I guess," she said faintly, "I guess, Charley, that's about near enough." Philadelphia Public Ledger. One active virtue is worth ten absent vices. —Ram's Horn. TRADE MARK. and 50c.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1903. A JEALOUS HUSBAND. He Is Shot and Killed by a Man Whom He His Wife Had Been Entertaining. New York, March 31.—Filled with jealous anger at finding another man being entertained by his wife yesterday William J. Peppler, of East One Hundred and Nineteenth street, threw the visitor out into the hall, fought him from the third floor to the front door of the apartment house in which he lived, with the wife screaming and weeping at their heels, and was killed by the man who had wronged him, as he thought. A policeman, summoned by the cries of the other tenants of the house, who were alarmed by the shooting, rushed into the building and in the hall stumbled over the dead body of Peppler, on which his wife was lying unconscious. Peppler had been shot in the side, the bullet passing clear through the body. After being revived Mrs. Peppler said that she and Dobson were together when her husband returned unexpectedly from work and a fight followed, resulting in Dobson being thrown out of the room and pursued down stairs by her husband. In the lower hall the men clinched again and Dobson fired one shot. After that the woman remembered nothing, for she fainted. Dobson was arrested last night in the apartments of friends living on West Eleventh street. He took his arrest very calmly and refused to make any statement. A Young Man Murders His Sweetheart and Then Suicide Heart and Tilt Suicides. Chillicothe, O., March 31.—Forest McCord, a barber, aged 24 years, living at Bournville, this county, yesterday killed Charity Storts, aged 20 years, by cutting her throat from ear to ear, after which he cut his own throat in a like manner. The deed was done at the girl's home near South Salem. McCord and a number of companions were drinking heavily Sunday and he struck one of them with a beer bottle. A warrant was issued for his arrest. He left his home immediately for the Storts home, eight miles distant, and found the girl alone. Her mother was in an upstairs room. He remained with Miss Storts for about an hour, when her screams brought her mother to the stairway and she saw her daughter in McCord's arms, covered with blood and her head almost severed from her body. She rushed down stairs, but before she reached the first floor McCord dropped the girl and drew the razor across his own throat and fell to the floor. McCord and Miss Storts had been sweet-hearts for several years. GROWS WIDER. The Hymelia Crevasse Enlarges and Enormous Damage Will Result. New Orleans, March 31. The carrying away of additional cribbing at the Hymelia crevasse yesterday brought the forces that have been at work to the verge of abandoning the attempt to close the break. However, it was agreed to continue the undertaking, although all hands are likely to be called off if the terrific current washes out the new lines of cribbing which were started from both ends of the levee in the afternoon. Greenville, Miss., March 31.—There is little change in the flood situation. The cutting of the protection levee at the northern border of the town has given no relief in letting out the water. On the contrary, a rise is still in progress generally throughout the city. The big crevasse three miles south of the city continues to widen and it is impossible to say what the ultimate breadth will be if the efforts to strengthen the ends and prevent further cutting are not successful. More Pay for Strippers. Hazleton, Pa., April 1.—Cuyl Brothers, coal operators, have granted the 500 men employed at their strippings an increase of 10 per cent. in wages, to go into effect to-day. This will placeate the stripping hands, who were not included in the strike commission award, although they quit work when the miners struck. The stripping employees had agreed in the absence of any concessions to quit in a body this afternoon and force the issue of a nine-hour work day granted all outside men by the commission. Ex-Senator Corbett Dies. Portland, Ore., April 1.—H. W. Corbett, ex-banker, and former United States senator from this state, died at his home in this city Tuesday, of heart trouble. On Monday Mr. Corbett, realizing that his strength was failing, resigned as president of the Lewis and Clarke exposition. Mr. Corbett was 76 years old and had lived in Portland 52 years, coming from New York in 1851. He was United States senator from this state from 1867 to 1873. A Smashup on the Erle Road Corry, Pa., March 31.—The Erie railroad's fast train was wrecked at Concord, six miles west of this city, Monday. The train, made up of a baggage and cafe car, three Pullmans and two coaches, jumped the track and turned over. Mrs. C. T. Hennesey, of New York, an occupant of the cafe car, was slightly injured. Others are suffering from shock, cuts and bruises Two New Counterfeits. Washington, March 31.—The secret service yesterday announced the discovery of two counterfeit notes. One is a $5 silver certificate of the series of 1899 and is a poorly executed etched production on thin, soft paper, no attempt having been made to imitate the silk fibre of the genuine. The other is a $5 national bank note, reading "United States the Citizens' International Bank, New York, pay to the bearer on demand $5.00." It bears a portrait of Garfield. The seal appears to be that of some secret order Accidentally Killed by His Wife. Paris, Ky., March 31.—Julius B. Clay, one of the largest land owners of this county, was accidentally shot and killed by his wife while they were at target practice yesterday at their home near here. The shooting was done with a shotgun. Lost Her Money and Suicided. New York, March 31.—Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson, a widow, 40 years old, committed suicide Monday by shooting herself in the head. Despondency over the loss of $90,000 in the stock market is supposed to have been the cause. A young Philadelphia whom we may call Johnson, because that is not his name, was married several days ago, and it occurred to him that he would take his bride into an upstate town on their honeymoon, relates the Philadelphia Ledger. He was particularly desirous of visiting this town, as he told his bride, because at the hotel where he intended staying "they served such delicious honey at every meal." "That will be delightful," said Mrs. Johnson. The couple arrived at the hotel in due course, and they were just in time for tea. Johnson escorted his bride proudly to a table in the dining room and then, after an admiring glance at her, looked quizzically round the board. There was no honey on the table and none in the room. Johnson was surprised and called a waiter. "See here," said he, "where's my honey?" The waiter seemed at a loss as to what to say, but finally leaned forward and in a stage whisper said: "She don't work here no mo!" Lancaster, N. Y., Mar. 30th.—Postmaster Remers is still in receipt of many letters asking if his cure has held good. It will be remembered that some time ago the particulars of Mr. Remers' case were published in these columns. He had been very low with Diabetes. Physicians could do nothing to save him and he grew worse and worse till some one recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills. A treatment of this remedy was begun and when eight boxes had been taken Mr. Remers began to see an improvement which continued as the treatment proceeded till he was completely rested. He has since enjoyed perfect health and is as robust and able a man as any in Lancaster. Interviewed the other day he said: "Many people wrote to me when the story of my case was first printed and some write to me yet asking if the cure was only temporary and if the diabetes has returned. I have only one answer to everybody. Three years ago I was very low with Diabetes. The best physicians failed to help me and Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me. I am well and strong and have not had the slightest return of the old trouble." How It Really Happens. "Johnny," cautiously inquired Mr. Six-aweek of her little brother, when he called the other evening—"she" was putting the finishing touches to her toilet upstairs—"have you-er, does you-er-do you-er-ever hear your sister speak of me?" "You can't pump me," promptly replied Johnny. "I don't butt into my sister's business." Then Johnny picked up a shinny stick out of the hall rack and went out. This is the way it happens in 999 cases out of 1,000, but the funnyists could never be clubbed into believing it.—Washington Post.

Then physicians having learned that the most excellent laxative and carminative principles were to be found in certain plants, principally in the leaves, the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered a method of obtaining such principles in their purest condition and of presenting them with pleasant and refreshing liquids in the form most acceptable to the system and the remedy became known as—Syrup of Figs—as figs were used, with the plants, in making it, because of their agreeable taste. This excellent remedy is now rapidly coming into universal use as the best of family laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually without disturbing the natural functions and without unpleasant after effects and its use may be discontinued when it is no longer required. All who would enjoy good health and its blessings should remember that it is the one remedy which physicians and parents well-informed approve and recommend and use and which they and their little ones alike enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all reliable druggists, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, in original packages only, having the name of the remedy—Syrup of Figs—and the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.

W. E. Griffith, Concan, Texas, writes: "I suffered with chronic catarrh for many years. I took Peruna and it completely cured me. I think Peruna is the best medicine in the world for catarrh.

I can heartily recommend Peruna as a catarrh remedy."—Mrs. Elmer Fleming. Treat Catarrh in Spring. The spring is the time to treat catarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often retards a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna is taken during the early spring months the cure will be prompt and permanent. There can be no failures if Peruna is taken intelligently during the favorable weather of spring. As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna eradicates catarrh from the system wherever it may be located. It cures catarrh of the stomach or bowels with the same certainty as catarrh of the head. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
