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. Collector of the Port Dr. W. D. Crum "holds the fort" at Charleston, S. C., thanks to President Roosevelt. One of the most important and most pleasing political signs that has come up from the south for many years is the evident determination of the Afro-Americans of several states in that section to stop boosting white republicans, only into prominent positions in the party organization of their states, and thus turning over to them all of the federal appointments except a few "spittoon-cleaning" jobs. Wherever possible, from now on, southern Afro-American republicans should dominate state organizations with a view to getting as many first-class federal appointments as they are entitled to. We trust they will not lose sight of the fact that it is extremely important at this stage of our political affairs to send as many Afro-Americans as possible to the national republican committee as members. The latest to have their eyes opened to the importance of this matter are Tennessee Afro-American republicans Speaking of lynching in the north, the Nashville (Tenn.) Clarion says and pertinently, too: "All the southern papers, especially the Nashville American, Banner and News, were out in strained editorials gloating over a Negro being lynched in Illinois. When we come to think about it there is no cause for them to be shouting from the hill tops about Negroes being lynched in the north. THE REASON IS THAT ENOUGH SOUTHERNERS HAVE GONE NORTH AND ELSE-WHERE TO CARRY THE MOB SPIRIT INTO EFFECT IN THIS COUNTRY, AND KEEP UP THE NEFARIOUS WORK." All of which is too true. Fully seventy-five per cent of all the trouble the northern Afro-American has as the result of color-prejudice or caste can be traced directly to southerners who have come north, and "small minded individuals" upon whom they have exercised or are exercising their baneful influence. THE "JIM CROW" CAR IN MEMPHIS. When Memphis was less prosperous and less wealthy her citizens were cheerful and contented compared with the present community of people who are beneficiary to her bounty. Along in the 70's of the last century Afro-Americans were the trusty guards of the city and when the yellow fever epidemic swept away a hundred or more of her citizens, our men stood guard and cared for the sick, the dying and the dead. None were more faithful, none more vigilant in their devotion to the poor and suffering, irrespective of races, than that earnest band of fearless nurses who went with heart in hand to rescue and to save. White men felt the need of the tried and trusted Negroes who administered to the needs of their white friends. With the Negro there was no sacrifice too great to be made in the cause of those whom them served. Memphis was a doomed city and the strongest and most affluent took rank with the humblest and the poorest. Our men realized the fearful state of affairs in the midst of desolation and pestilence, and they braved the plague and risked their lives only to succor their white friends from disease and death. Silently and unseen the destroying angel swept away its hundreds every day, while Negro sentinels hovered around. But a change has come over this people. The spirit of a growing pride has supplanted this feeling of humility and the people who were once bowed in thanksgiving and prayer to God have become the unfeeling persecutors of the race. A score of years or more, it could not be thought that the afflicted city cursed and smitten by the hand of Providence would have offered such a portrayal of inhumanity and ingratitude. But Memphis has proscribed her colored citizens and fixed upon them the stigma of shame and the meanest easte. It has adopted "Jim Crow" cars has done what no other city in the state of Tennessee has done, has laid villainous hands upon her most respectable and best citizens of color and has said unto them: "Thus far shall ye go and no farther." The infamy deepens in the light of the burning truth that those who served as benefactors to the woe stricken city are now the victims of a cruel and heartless treatment. But for this forgetfulness of God and obligation to Christian duty, a better and a nobler thought might have inspired the heart of Memphis. No "Jim Crow" car would serve to crown the worst shame that ever blighted the greatness of a proud and vain-glorious people. The separate car law in a church-going city like Memphis is an unpardonable crime, a crime, because it has forced the better class of Afro-Americans to many inconveniences, and it stands as a stunning reproach to the better class of the race who value manhood and cherish a hope for better conditions. "SAT ON" COLOR-LINE. That is What Harvard's Ball Team Did—Financial Secretary Lampton's Report. Washington, D. C.—The report of Rev. E. W. Lampton, financial secretary of the A. M. E. church, discloses a "dollar money" collection of $132,483.87, over $1,000 of which was raised personally by him. The financial department of the church will receive $61,912.98. The sum of $1,500 was appropriated toward the indebtedness of Metropolitan A. M. E. church, of this city. Bishop B. W. Arnett, of Ohio, presided over the deliberations of the financial board. The baseball team representing Harvard university and numbering among its membership the noted Afro-American shortstop, Matthews, defeated the Georgetown college team recently. The students at Georgetown are mainly southerners and were ignorant of the fact that the Harvard team embraced an Afro-American player. Objection was made, but the coach of the "Crimson" team frankly stated that the elimination of Matthews would break up the team. Georgetown reluctantly accepted Matthews and a crushing defeat. Matthews was quartered with his team at an uptown hotel. NOTES OF THE GEM CITY. Death of Will Curtis-Gave Complimentary Dinner-Jones-Coles-Other Social, Church and Personal Notes of Interest.

Dayton, O.—Randall Bogie, now aged 74, of Springfield, and Mrs. Celia Harnady, aged 59, were married years ago in Madison county, Ky., when slaves. Some time before the war Mrs. Bogie with an infant in her arms, was sold and taken far south. Bogie, broken-hearted over the separation joined the Union army, and at the close of the war was in Texas. Ten years later Bogie returned to Kentucky only to find that his wife had moved over into Ohio and married one Harnady. Bogie shortly afterward married another wife who died last June. Mr. Harnady died four years ago, and in the course of time both of the lovers drifted north, Harnady locating in this city and Mr. Bogie going to Springfield. Left alone in the world, the old persons began to think fondly again of each other, with the result that they soon arranged a meeting, and the old man began to court his former wife again with all the ardor that he showed in his youth. This courtship terminated in another marriage, their second one, which was performed recently by Rev. Grant, of this city.

Chicago, Ill.—Mrs. Agnes Moody, the "Aunt Jemima" of the American corn kitchen at the Paris exposition of 1900, died recently after a long illness. She was one of the original members of the National Association of Colored Women, and for many years was its vice president. Mrs. Moody became famous in Paris. It was said that she knew how to prepare more delicious corn concoctions than any other living person, and in Paris her work in making corn soup, corn cakes, corn muffins and corn doggers proved a campaign of cookers' education for the whole world, beside giving American corn a great boom in Europe. Mrs. Moody was born in slavery and in 1852, at the age of 10, escaped into Canada by the underground railway. She managed to acquire a good education, and in 1866 came to Chicago, where she lived since, and where Commissioner General Peck discovered her. An Editor on Ed E. Cooper. "We dislike nothing more than the uncloaking of villainy and dishonesty. We spoke of the dealings of Cooper, of the Colored American infamy, a few weeks ago, and the chorus of editors who took up the refrain was something tremendous. Evidently in this case we struck home. So while we regret this incursion into the sewers, it seems that there was the only place where the editor in question can be found. "It takes gall of the type of Ed Cooper to comment upon shortcomings of anyone in the newspaper business. As a fakir and dead beat Cooper is IT."—Denver (Col.) Statesman.

Ban Ashore During a Thick Fog on the Cliff's at Whale Cove-Only Three Men Survive-Boat Was Smashed to Splinters. Canso, N. S., May 7.—The American fishing schooner Gloriana, Capt. George Stoddart, of Gloucester, Mass., ran ashore during a thick fog on the cliffs at Whale Cove, near White Point, late Tuesday night and 15 of the crew, including the captain, were drowned out of a total of 18. The survivors are John Richards, Eugene Leblanc and Frank Nicekson. The drowned are: Capt. George Stoddart, of Gloucester; Armsworth Thomas, Ell Melanson, Ansel Goodwin, Reuben Surrette, Harry French, Fred Doucette, Thomas Frazier, George V. Muissee, Martin Goodwin, Alexander Benson, Charles Pierce, John Moulson, Arthur Bonaghan and one unknown. The Gloriana left the northeast bar of Sable Island Tuesday afternoon, bound for Canso. There was a heavy easterly gale blowing, with thick fog. The vessel was kept under short sail, and it is presumed that Capt. Stoddart believed he had plenty of sea room. When the Gloriana struck on the ledges she passed over the outer ones, but brought on the inner reef, butted against a cliff of rocks and then fell off into the sea. When the vessel struck the cliff, Richards, Leblane and Nickerson were on deck and they ran forward, rushed ont on the bowsprit and climped up the cliff of rocks to a place of safety before a receding wave carried the vessel off again. Others of the crew who were below rushed on deck half clad and started to lower the dories. As soon as each boat touched the water it was smashed to pieces. The high seas were breaking clean over the vessel and she swung broadside on the ledges and commenced pounding heavily. Lines were thrown ashore from the schooner several times, but they were either broken or torn from their fastenings on the rocks by the surging of the vessel. Four of the crew jumped overboard, and attempted to swim ashore, but they were caught in the breakers, dashed against the rocks and killed in the attempt. The others who were on the vessel took to the rigging and clung there while their strength lasted, but the enormous seas were more than they could battle against and one by one they were swept away. The three men on the rocks could see their companions clinging to the rigging and hear their shouts for help above the roar of the sea, but it was impossible to do anything to save them. The three survivors spent a terrible night on the cliffs. When daylight dawned they saw one man still clinging to the rigging, and made their way to the main land for assistance. The shore folk hurried to the scene of the wreck and the man was taken from the rigging, but he was dead. The place where the Gloriana was wrecked is one of the most dangerous on the Nova Scotia coast. It is less than a mile from where the steamer Blaamanden was totally wrecked last year and only a half mile from the scene of the wreck of the steamer Tiber in February, 1902, when 22 lives were lost. The three survivors were brought here and are being cared for by the United States consul. They say that the vessel is a total wreck. None of the bodies has been recovered. POSTOFFICE INVESTIGATION. The Big Postoffices Are to be Given a Through Crossbar Washington, May 7.—A far-reaching extension of the present investigation of the affairs of the postoffice department, to include the overhauling of most of the large postoffices in the country, is in contemplation. This statement was made Wednesday by Postmaster General Payne. Mr. Payne said that the increase of $5,000 of the appropriation for the contingent expenses of his own office had been made for the purpose of investigating the affairs of the department along these lines, but he admitted that it was not at that time anticipated that the investigation would prove so sensational. The details of the proposed general investigation he said have not yet been formulated. It will cover all first class post-offices whose annual receipts aggregate $500,000. Mr. Payne said that the present administrative methods of the postal service were put in operation by ex-Postmaster General Wanamaker 14 years ago, and since then the business of the department has trebled. He said that it might be that some of the methods were faulty and the practices irregular and that the investigation would be made in the hope of initiating new and better methods as well as correcting abuses. Postmaster General Payne has received replies from ex-Postmaster General Smith, Comptroller of the Treasury Tracewell, Postmaster Merritt, of this city, and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow regarding the charges made by ex-Cashier Tulloch, of the Washington postoffice. Many Salaries to be Raised. Washington. May 7.—The twentieth annual readjustment of salaries of presidential postmasters throughout the United States is now in progress. The readjustment involves about 5,000 postmasters. Most of the changes are increases. The appropriation for salaries next year was increased $750,000. There probably will be 80 or 90 fourth class postmasters advanced to the presidential grade July 1. and the indications are that 100 third class presidential postoffices will be raised to the second class and 10 or 15 second class offices raised to first class. Gave the Water Cure to Crazy People. Gave the Water Cure to Crazy People. Topeka, Kan., May 7.—It has been customary to administer the "water cure" to refractory patients at the Topeka asylum, according to testimony of Miss Knox, of Topeka, given before the legislative investigation committee.

A Swell Affair - Ohioan's in the "Windy City"—Clevelanders Abroad. Chicago, Ill.—Mr. and Mrs. David Manson entertained twenty young people on Saturday evening in honor of their sister, Miss Lucy Manson, of Cleveland, who spent the month of April with them. During the first part of the evening there was a musical. The following program was rendered: Sonate Pathetique ..... Beethoven. Mrs. Manson. "Robert" ..... Miss Blanche Wright. "Good Bye Summer" ..... Miss H. Bolden (nee Sadie Cisco). Polonaise ..... Chopin. "The Flatterer" ..... Chaminade. Mr. Chas. Pickett. At its close, Mrs. Manson surprised her guests by giving a reading which created much laughter. Luncheon was served in the dining room, lighted by candles mounted with red shades, giving a pretty tone to the color scheme. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing and at five minutes to twelve an alarm clock which was suspended from the gas jet told the young people that the Sabbath was near, and they departed as usual with pleasant remembrances.—Mrs. Esther Johnson, of Massillon, successfully passed through an operation at Provident hospital, performed by Dr. Daniel Williams.—Miss Cora Johnson, of Massillon, is the guest of Mrs. M. Bowman,—Mr. Andrew Braggs, of Cleveland, spent a day in the "Windy City" last week en route to Minnesota.—Mrs. Moral Keehlan, formerly Miss Bessie Ely, of Oberlin, is in the city in attendance at the Yerby-Seldon nuptials.

Crusade Against Gambling. Chicago, Ill.—An attempt was made late Sunday night to destroy the Institutional church, at 38th and Dearborn streets. A stick of dynamite was thrown at the front door and a tremendous explosion followed, which cracked the cornerstone, shattered the door and wrecked the interior of the building. It is believed that agents of the clique which controls the policy shops in the city hurled the explosive to avenge themselves on Rev. R. C. Ransom, pastor of the church, who is leading the fight against this form of gambling. Several suspicious characters were seen lurking in the vicinity when the congregation disbanded after services last evening. Later an explosion shook the dwellings and aroused the residents. They found the church in flames. The fire was quickly extinguished, with a loss to the building and contents of $5,000. Rev. Ransom declared his intention to fight the policy players several days ago, and at both services Sunday he denounced the men who were fleeing people. Before the meeting Ransom says he received a warning. Morris Presided. Springfield, Ill.-Hon. Edward H. Morris, a representative from Chicago, and the only Afro-American member in the assembly, presided over the house on April 21. This is the first instance in the history of the state that a member of the race presided over the house. Tell one-eyed Ben Tillman!

The rector will preach the second sermon of his series on the Ten Commandments. The choir will render (special) Warren's Benedictus in C for offerty. Pending the suit for divorce instituted by Mrs. Florence Miller recently, Judge Kennedy on Wednesday granted her alimony ($5 a week for ten weeks and $3 a week afterafter until the conclusion of the suit). Mr. Geo. Miller, her husband, conducts a barber shop in the Garfield building. The bottom seems to have fallen out of the Douglass automatic straw binder. Those persons who were foolish enough to invest in the alleged stock of the company can now appreciate the many warnings given in The Gazette from time to time during the past year. The Phillegans Social club of young men, ranging from 17 to 21 years of age, gave their sixth select party last Friday evening. There were twenty couple present, including Charles Spearman, president; George Sisco, vice president; F. R. Fitzhugh, secretary; H. C. Allen, treasurer. All present had an enjoyable time. A birthday party was given the past week at Miss Hattie Jackson's, No. 628 Central avenue, in honor of her twentieth birthday. She was the recipient of many beautiful gifts. Messrs. Parker and Thurman favored the company with music with their string instruments, and Mr. Leroy Douglass entertained at the piano. Refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. John Bolden, of Newton street, entertained a few friends Saturday night in honor of Harry A. Williams, and Mrs. Hattie Morris Wilson, of Chicago. Mr. Williams left Monday for New York City en route to London, England where he intends to remain until September. Mrs. Wilson returned home today after a very enjoyable six weeks visit in the city, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Edmonds, of Harmon street. A competitive examination under the rules of the United States civil service commission of applicants for the grades of deputy collector, inspector, clerk and opener and packer in the classified customs service here will be held at the postoffice building on July 13 at 9 a.m. Application blanks for this examination must be secured from the civil service com mission not later than June 8. Here is an opportunity for persons desiring good positions. The Baehelors' club gave a very successful May dance, Tuesday evening, about 75 couples being present. The Aeolian quartette, composed of Mrs. Anna Smith, Mrs. Grace Brown, Messrs, J. Noble and Carroll Scott, sang at the May festival of the Woodland Avenue M. E. church, Wednesday evening. They were heartily applauded and encored. William Smith, the Afro-American convicted of killing John O'Brien (manslaughter), was given twenty years at hard labor in the penitentiary, the heaviest sentence under the law. For a moment Smith seemed stunned and recoiled as though from a blow. With good behavior he will have to serve fifteen years. An effort will be made to have him pardoned before that time, as the prisoner has influential white friends in the south, with whom he grew up and who are now taking care of his children. A baby show was held at St. Andrew's church Wednesday afternoon. The awards were made by Rev. E. S. Doan and two babyless visitors, who deserted him when he was ready to make the announcements. The first prize went to little Miss Norma Minter, three years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Minter, of Forest street. William Hooper, aged two, got the second prize, and Wilbert Cooper, 14 months old, third prize. The fourth prize, a big red rubber ball, went to Frank Green Minter, aged 20 months, a cousin of Norma. There was a social in the evening. Rev. H. C. Bailey, of Antioch church, delivered an interesting and instructive sermon last Sunday evening on "Christian Heroism," in which he admonished and warned parents concerning their watchfulness over their children and the children's reverence to their parents. The Lord's Supper was served. The B. Y. P. U. had a business meeting Sunday evening to consider the resignation of their president, Mrs. Brown, who is going to leave the city, and at the same time elect her successor. Miss Henrietta Dean, president; Miss Ella Stephen, first vice; Miss Hattie Good, second vice; Ada Blevins, third vice. The opinion of the Ladies' Guild of St. Andrew's Mission is, that the representative of the Cleveland Press who visited and wrote up St. Andrew's baby show and social given April 29 is far below the average standard of gentlemen, to advertise church work in a manner so unbecoming. Mrs. A. G. Stanley is president of the Guild and Mrs. John Nooks is secretary. The way the Press representative wrote up the show and the use of the mongrel term "pickaninny" was insulting in the extreme and shows to what depths some very small individuals can wade in an effort to be "funny." If the Press desired primarily to ridicule the show and insult intelligent Afro-Americans generally, it certainly succeeded. The individual who wrote up the affair is clearly out of place in Cleveland. He should go into the worst section of the south. Did you ever hear of an insurance company "making a present of $300" or any other sum to an individual or company or association in case of fire if it is in no wise legally indebted? We think not. And yet it is this very thing that ex-officials of the Old Folks' Home association claim. The fire at the Home last year did damage which required over $600 to repair. Therefore $600 instead of $300 should have been received from the insurance company. The "make a present of $300" story is fearfully thin and ridiculous, even if true. Three hundred dollars are not $600, by any means, and if the insurance company was legally obligated to pay the smaller sum it certainly was obligated to pay the full amount of the fire damage, which was $600. The association, as a matter of justice to itself, should order a thorough investigation of this matter and give the facts to the public. The Men's Auxiliary ought to insist upon it. The people at large should refuse to contribute further to the Home until it is forthcoming. A cakewalk and entertainment was given one evening last week by Weddell house bellmen at G. A. R. hall for the edification of whites. The early part of the program consisted of choruses and solos. Jackson and Turner, accompanied by banjo and guitar, told the audience that "Home Am Nothing Like This," and Mrs. Terrell sang "Hannah from Savannah." The event of the evening, of course, was the cakewalk. Six couples were in the contest, but the numbers were finally reduced to four: Jacob Cummings and Lillian Carter, Roy Pittman and sister, Henry Williams and Virginia Jones and Mr. and Mrs. Terrell. The final contest had only two competitors, Mr. and Mrs. Terrell, Mr. Williams and Miss Jones. It was some time before the judges, J. T. McAninch, Capt. W. H. Hill, T. M. Hurd, J. L. Smith and John D. McLean, all white, were able to decide the winners. The question was put to a vote and by a large majority Mr. and Mrs. Terrell were awarded the prize. It is a matter of great regret and a detriment to the race, too—such pastimes as "cakewalks." If we desire to show to the world that "we are rising" we must stop such practices as cakewalks. The annual parish meeting of St. Andrew's mission was held last Monday evening. The reports from the various societies indicated a healthy, prosperous growth and reflected great credit on the executive departments. Rev. E. S. Doan appointed the following committee for the ensuing year: H. T. Eubanks, T. W. Walker, J. W. Nooks, Wm. Doston, Wm. Martin, A. G. Stanley, Wm. T. Boyd, J. Winters and J. E. Reed. Mr. Doston was reappointed treasurer and Mr. Nooks, secretary. The following appointments were also made: For the Women's Auxiliary, Mrs. Doan, president; Mrs. Stanley, vice president; Mrs. Nooks, treasurer; Mrs. Doston, secretary. For the Altar Guild: Mrs. Doston, president; Mrs. Leatherman, vice president; Miss J. Phillips, treasurer; Mrs. Arnold, secretary. For the Women's Guild: Mrs. Stanley, president; Miss Madah Toles, vice president; Mrs. Todd, treasurer; Mrs. Nooks, secretary. For pipe organ fund committee: All the men of the choir; J. Winters, chairman; Alex O. Taylor, treasurer; J. Tolbert, secretary. Wm. Doston was appointed treasurer of the Men's club. Mr. Doston and Mr. Nooks were appointed to represent the mission at the annual convention to be held in Trinity cathedral house, May 12 and THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1903.

BUTY WHEN UNADORNED WITH A HAND, MISSINE is a true hair food, and conse- nces, invigorates, vitalizes, permeates, mulates the bulbs, glands, oil sacs, follicles. When the plant is withered, sticky, droop- ing, give it water ere it die. Just so we apply GLOSSINE to the harsh, unshaggy dropping, dying hair, for on this principle of common sense was GLOSSINE formulated by one of America's most noted pharmacists—not from lead, mercury, muth, and other mineral poisons, but from vegetation, which can work no injury to the human hair. Cupidity and the desire for quick wealth have tempted many people, ignorant both as to pharmacy and chemistry, to sell to the people so-called hair tonics, which (on account of their low price) contain mineral poisons, the immediate effect is not only a cure for the hairy, but whose certain end is falling hair and a bald head. There is only one safe course to pursue—use only on your hair an absolutely guaranteed vegetable remedy for the hair, such as GLOSSINE really is, which can only do good, and work no injury. Which is the cheap- vine, meritorious hair tonic at a moderate n at a penny? GLOSSINE cures lives to the hair length, lustre, life, vitality wickly, thick, long, and humorous, covers all gloss (from which it takes its name), and soft that it can be dressed with ease and as hair soft, wavy, straight, glossy, and gives the softest silk.

Mrs. Tupman a prominent Mrs. Tupman, a prominent lady of Richmond, Va., a great sufferer with woman's troubles, tells how she was cured. "For some years I suffered with backache, severe bearing-down pains, leucorrhoea, and falling of the womb. I tried many remedies, but nothing gave any positive relief. "I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in June, 1901. When I had taken the first half bottle, I felt a vast improvement, and have now taken ten bottles with the result that I feel like a new woman. When I commenced taking the Vegetable Compound I felt all worn out and was fast approaching complete nervous collapse. I weighed only 98 pounds. Now I weigh 109% pounds and am improving every day.

BIRES CO., Malvern, Pa. --- SHORT NEWS NOTES Information of Recent Date Collected in Various Ways and Condensed for the Convenience of Our Busy Readers. Fire in the lumber district along the water front in North Portland, Ore., destroyed property valued at $210,000. The numerous forest fires which have been burning in all sections of New England have caused losses estimated at fully $150,000. At Bloomington, Ill., every member of the Carpenters'union, Horseshoers' union and several other minor organizations laid down their tools when the bosses refused to sign the new scale of increased wages. All the union plumbers in Scranton, Pa., are on strike and there is an entire cessation of building operations where plumbing is essential to further progress. The plumbers demand a minimum wage of $3.25 for an eight-hour day; also that no non-union men be employed in any capacity on jobs where they are asked to work, and the limiting of the number of apprentices in the shops. William Long, a prominent planter living at Adam's Landing on the Mississippi river, five miles west of Redwood, Miss., being attracted to a burning house on his plantation, was set upon by negroes and killed. By the caving in of an old coal bank at Glendale, Pa., three children of John Gluscogics, a Slav coal miner, who were picking coal, were buried under several tons of earth. The oldest, Victor, aged 10 years, was killed instantly. The two others, Mary and Hubert, are in a precarious condition and it is feared will not recover. The safe of the Merchants' State bank of Freeman, S. D., was raided by robbers. They secured about $3,000 and escaped. Two negro stable boys and 32 valuable horses were burned to death in a fire which destroyed the stables of Gould Brokaw's estate at Great Neck, Long Island. The financial loss is between $40,000 and $50,000. Two hundred structural iron workers employed on the new cement plant at Northampton, Pa., went on strike for a nine-hour day and an increase in wages from $4.05 to $4.50 per day. Louis Reep, of West Bay City, Mich., is dead, aged 105 years. He was, it is said, in the battle of Waterloo under Blucher. While attempting to close the explosion doors of the Sharon (Pa.) blast furnace two men were suffocated by the deadly fumes. The men were at the top of the stack and were not discovered for several hours. Safe blowers robbed the postoffice at Middleville, Mich., securing $1,000 in stamps and $60 in currency. They then stole a horse from a farmer's stable, abandoning it four miles south of town. For the first time in the history of the United Mine Workers a wage scale has been agreed on between the miners and operators of Butler, Mercer, Clarion and Armstrong counties, Pennsylvania. This action was the outcome of a joint conference held at Grove City, Pa. The meeting was attended by 17 operators and representatives of the miners. There are 33 mines in operation in the fields and nearly 3,500 miners are employed. Seventy-five machinists and apprentices in the Fort Wayne (Ind.) electric works, a branch of the General Electric Co., are out on strike, demanding a nine-hour day with no reduction in pay. Lack of harmony among the associations of engineers in this country may nullify an offer of Andrew Carnegie to give a million or more with which to establish a national center for engineering interests in New York City. Rivalry exists among the various bodies of the engineering profession and a high official in one of the bodies says it is doubtful if all can live in peace under one roof. The Wabash Railroad Co. has abandoned work on its Little Kanawha extension, one of the most important links in the proposed trunk line. Contractors who have been at work for several weeks with several thousand men have been ordered to other points and everything is at a standstill. The census preliminary report on street and electric railways for the year ended June 30, 1902, shows a total of 987 companies, with the net income of the operating companies aggregating $30,955.233. Thirty-five hundred laundry workers are idle at Chicago and when the drivers, engineers and firemen are added the total number of persons thrown out of employment will number 5,000. President Wilson, of the Laundry Workers' union, says the lockout has strengthened their cause and that hundreds of applications from non-union workers are being received. Over two blocks of buildings in West Point, Va., the York river terminus of the Southern railway, are in ashes as the result of a fire of unknown origin. Among the buildings burned are the express office, the postoffice, the Pemberton house and a number of stores. Loss $125,000. A dispatch from Salonica, Turkey, says the police in their search for persons suspected of being concerned in the outrages there discovered that the revolutionists had mined the principal districts of the town with the intention of blowing them up simultaneously. In the towns of Fayette City, Charleroi, Belle Vernon, Monesson and Donora, Pa., along the Monongahela valley, building has been almost nitirely suspended by a strike of carpenters, bricklayers, stonemasons, plasterers and hodcarriers. The strikers are asking for an eight-hour day. Miss Evelyn Hodge, Miss Ingersoll Minge and Sam Williams, three young people of Shreveport, La., were drowned in Twelve Mile bayou, four and one-half miles from Shreveport. They rowed up near a dam and were sucked beneath the falls by the current. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1903. The Illinois senate has concurred in the house amendments to the Mueller municipal ownership bill. The bill itself, which is primarily an act to enable the city of Chicago to "own, operate, lease and construct" street railways, will pass the senate and the legislation so long sought for by Chicago will go on the statute books. Fire destroyed the building occupied by the J. A. Olson picture frame factory and a number of adjoining buildings at Chicago, entailing a loss estimated at $66,000. One man is missing. Seven families were forced to flee scantily clad into the street to escape the flames. The fire followed an explosion in the picture frame factory. At Shamokin, Pa., the Royal Oak colliery, operated by the Llewellyn Co., shut down because 300 employees went on strike for a 20 per cent. increase on contract work. They claim they did not receive the increase accorded by the strike commission. Dong Gong, the Chinese leper, who has been in close confinement at quarantine, about two miles below Jefferson Barracks, Mo., for the past year and a half, has escaped. A Beaver Valley traction car bound for Beaver Falls, Pa., ran away and was wrecked. Conductor Charles Miller was probably fatally hurt, Motorman Roscoe Shepherd badly cut and bruised and six passengers were more or less seriously injured. The coroner's jury which has been investigating the cause of the explosion of dynamite at the plant of the Crescent Powder Co. near Williamsburg, Pa., whereby ten persons were killed, has been unable to fix the responsibility for the explosion. Continued dry weather and strong winds have started the forest fires again on the northern slope of the Adirondacks. Near Everton, N. Y., a 15-year-old boy named Eseltine and a horse were burned to death in a pasture. Fireman William McNally, burned in a brave rescue at a fire in New York City, is dead. McNally tried to save the life of Henry McWilliams, but was overcome by the smoke and heat. Another fireman, James McAvoy, rushed to the rescue of McNally, dashing through a window filled with flames to do so, and brought McNally out. McAvoy was badly burned. A great increase in immigration from Ireland is shown by the record of the first four months of this year compared with the same period of other recent years. Statistics show the arrival of 8,206 Irish immigrants for the four months ending April 30, against 4,002 for the same period last year. For several years there was a falling off in Irish immigration. The president has pardoned Martin Guilford, who in November, 1902, pleaded guilty to robbing a postoffice in Indiana and who was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment in the penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. The pardon was granted upon the representation of the prison physicians that he was in the last stages of consumption. The heavy rains checked the forest fires which have been raging in Venango, Forest and Warren counties, Pennsylvania, but not before vast tracts of valuable timber had been destroyed, crops ruined and a number of dwelling houses consumed. Near Tionesta, Forest countl, 18 oil rigs, several tanks of oil and four residences were burned. Officials of the Western Maryland railroad have announced an increase of 10 per cent. in salaries of conductors, brakemen, telegraphers and other employees in the operating department. The increase is effective from April 1. A double track belt line will carry passengers from the center of St. Louis to the world's fair grounds, and St. Louis will excel all other cities in the world in street car transportation facilities. It is estimated that the cost of the double belt track and improvements will be in the neighborhood of $6,500,000. Two children of Herbert Jones, of Easton, N. H., are dead and Mrs. Jones is in a serious condition as the result of injuries sustained in connection with a fire which destroyed the Jones residence. The children were burned to death. Mrs. Jones was injured by falling down stairs. Standing in a mill pond with the water up to his neck, where he had gone to escape a forest fire, Walter Boyd, part owner of Hart's shingle mill, near Pigeon, Pa., was burned to death. A tank of oil exploded and the burning fluid covered the pond. Janitor Phineas Ballard, of the First national bank of Charlotte, Mich., was shot twice through the body and fatally wounded while attending to his duties at the close of banking hours. The weapon used was a revolver which is kept in the cage occupied by a paying teller. The back door is fastened by a spring lock and an arrangement crossing the entire width of the door. This had been removed, indicating that some one had passed outside. Stuffed with one dollar bills—one hundred of them—was a turkey that has been received by Mrs. E. C. Adams, of Morristown, N. J. The gift came from Mr. Adams, who had been missing for seven months. Its stuffing was discovered when the wife started to prepare the fowl for dinner, and it will be used to pay the passage of the Adams family to Sister Lakes, Mich., where the head of the family now resides. St. Louis laundrymen have dealt a blow to the cause of the Chicago laundry owners by refusing to handle any more of the work sent to them while the strike of the laundry workers continues. Gen. John C. Black, of Chicago, has been endorsed as a candidate for the position of national commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. by the Illinois division. The Austrian government has decided that it will not be represented at the St. Louis exposition. The Hungarian government may be officially represented in the fine arts, home industries and industrial education exhibits. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne has proclaimed a British Monroe doctrine in the Persian gulf and has practically notified the competing powers that any attempt on their part to establish a naval base or fortified post in those waters means war with Great Britain. New York detectives are searching among the Italians in Pittsburg for evidence against the men arrested for the murder of Benedetto Madonia. In company with Pittsburg officers, assisted by Capt. Walsh, of the United States secret service, they are working night and day on the case and, it is said, have already secured what is considered important evidence. DOAN'S CHANGE DOUBT TO GLAD SURPRISE It May Have Been an "Ave Maria," But the Painter Couldn't Think So. Guests at musical parties are not commonly expected to be especially attentive. They may talk to any extent, dependent largely on the amiability of their hostess. But the conduct of a foreign painter in New York surprised his hostess the other night. It also surprised the guests at this entertainment given in his honor. He was seated in the front row, and was the most conspicuous person in the room next to the popular contralto, who had just begun to sing. Before she had finished the first verse the guest of honor arose, walked to his hostess, said good-night, and prepared to leave, relates the New York Sun. "But you won't go now in the midst of her song" said the hostess. "It is an 'Ave Maria.' It would embarrass her terribly." By this time all eyes were turned on the painter, but he seemed quite indifferent. "She may call it an 'Ave Maria,'" he said. "I should say it was a battle song." With that comment the painter left the house. He has not been allowed to enter it again. Feels Younger and Stronger. Festus, Mo., May 4th—Mr. January S. Lilly, a highly respected old gentleman, aged 76, and whose home is in Festus, says: "For many years I was failing in health. My kidneys were weak and gave me no end of trouble. I had pains in my back and hips so bad that I could not sit up straight without bracing my back, and could not sit only a few minutes in any one position. frequently to relieve myself. "Our doctor said I had Kidney and Bladder Inflammation. I have suffered for over five years in this way, always worse at night. "I could get no relief and was getting worse till I used Dodd's Kidney Pills. "After I had used a few boxes of this remedy I felt stronger and better than I have for years and years. My pains all left me and I can rest and sleep. "Every old man or woman who feels as I felt should use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and I am sure they will not be disappointed. They brought me out wonderfully." Not Strikingly Noble.—"So your daughter is going to marry a nobleman." "Yes, answered Mr. Cumrox; "but he's only a nobleman by profession.

The Yellowstone Park, the nation's playground, is larger than the State of Delaware and nearly twice as large as Rhode Island. As in size it exceeds all other national parks of the world combined, so in grandeur and scenery it is unequaled. Here are located the eight great geysers of the world. Mount Washburn, one of the peaks in the park, has an altitude of 10,388 feet. The whole park is an area of wonders unparalleled. It is from 1,000 to 5,000 feet above the level of the sea and is therefore within the zone of two seasons. But to really know this wonderland you should take a trip through there. You cannot spend a vacation season more profitably or more pleasantly. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway offers choice of routes to and from Yellowstone Park. If you are interested, complete information about the cost of the trip, choice of routes, train service and tickets will be furnished on request. F. A. Miller, General Passenger Agent, Chicago.

One result of the placing in service of the Twentieth Century Limited, the New York Central's twenty-hour train between New York and Chicago, is to bring not only Chicago but the entire West practically 200 miles nearer New York. For instance, a man can leave St. Paul or Minneapolis Monday evening and by taking the Twentieth Century Limited from Chicago be in New York Wednesday morning; thirty-six hours from home. Or, if he is in Colorado he can leave Denver Saturday night, have several hours' layover in Chicago Monday morning, and, taking the Twentieth Century Limited, be in New York at 9::30 Tuesday morning.—From the Brooklyn Standard Union.

"PE-RU-NA SAVED MY LIFE," Catarrch of the Pelvic Organs is a Frequent Cause of Barrenness. Pe-ru-na Eradicates Catarrh From the System. To the woman of ancient Israel not to become a mother was regarded as the greatest of earthly calamities. To become a mother—more especially the mother of a strong, healthy boy—was the height of glory for the faithful woman of the good old Bible days. Even now, when maternity is not esteemed as of yore, the mother of healthy children is an object of admiration, and sometimes envy, by her neighbors. As compared with ancient peoples, the average American woman has a low appreciation of motherhood. There are, however, a great many exceptions to this statement. The accompanying letters from grateful women who have been made strong, healthy and happy mothers need no added words of ours to make them convincing. Catarrh had weakened and impaired their entire systems. Peruna made them sound and well. Mrs. L. M. Griffith, Arco, Idaho, writes: 'Your medicine did me a wonderful amount of good. It cured me of barrenness. I am 30 years old and never had any children; but since beginning your A YOUNG MOTHER'S LETTER. Mrs. W.

Circuit tour tickets covering the railroad trip to the Pacific Coast and via the various trans-Pacific steamship lines to the far East, are each day becoming a feature of greater popularity to the traveling public. The Chicago & North-Western Ry. have recently announced the sale of tickets of this character to Sidney, Australia, and return, in connection with their Overland Service to the Coast, tickets being good returning via the Royal Mail Line to Vancouver or via the Oceanic S. S. Co.'s Line, the direct route to San Francisco. These circuit tour tickets are sold at very low rates. The trans-Pacific service has grown and improved very rapidly in recent years and tourists find the trip filled with scenes of picturesque interest not equaled in the old journeys made by tourists through England and on the continent. The transcontinental train service and the trans-Pacific steamship service are of the highest possible character and the time required for making these journeys is much less than ever before.
