TRADE SCHOOL COUNCIL 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 treasury department at Washington, D. C., has dug up an old law which has been obsolete for many years, under the authority of which it has announced with a newspaper flourish of trumpets that it will be impossible to pay Dr. W. D. Crum, collector of the port of Charleston, S. C., his salary because his was a recess appointment. It is fortunate that the doctor is not dependent upon the salary of the office and can and will continue as collector, much to the chagrin of the prejudiced individuals of his city and state who have gone to such an extreme in their effort to force him out of the position. He will get all the money due him as salary, too. Speaking of the white man's alleged fright at the thought of social equality, the Savannah (Ga.) Tribune says: "Social equality? Away with the Ideal! The Negro does not want it. They frown at the thought of it. Several of the daily papers are endeavoring to make the Negro feel that he wants social equality, but these papers are doing it solely to create more prejudice."—Chicago Conservator. Our esteemed confrere, the editor of the Tribune, is only joking. The Afro-American of the north needs, wants AND ENJOYS all the social equality with his equals and superiors, if there be such persons in his community, he can get. The southern Negro may not want it in that section of the country and may "frown at the thought of it," but the northern Negro is doing nothing of the kind. He is not "pushing himself on any one," either. The matter regulates itself. The Tribune and Booker T. Washington should talk for the southern Negro only when discussing "social equality" and kindred matters. There is still another pertinent fact that might as well be stated now, and here, and that is, that there are thousands of whites above the average of their class that need and seek "social equality" with members of the race solely for the intellectual and moral advancement obtained. THE FREMONT RIOT So many conflicting stories have been sent broadcast over the country relative to the riot in Fremont, O., last Saturday night, resultant from a strike of the employees of the Clauss shear works, that it is about time for the truth to have a hearing. The facts are, that a number of Afro-Americans from Cleveland and other northern Ohio points were employed to take strikers' places. Some did not know that this was to be the case until almost on their arrival in Fremont. Others were made acquainted with the situation before arrival. As is usually the case, a mob consisting of strikers and sympathizers assaulted three young Afro-Americans by the names of Stratton, Kimbro and Martin, injuring severely at least one of them. They retaliated, shooting into the crowd and killing at least one striker and injuring others. This, of course, was in self-defense, because their lives were being jeopardized. As is usually the case, the Afro-Americans were arrested and taken to the jail at Norwalk, O., after a very weak attempt was made by two or three foolish admirers of the southern way of doing such things—lynching. They did not tarry long near the Fremont jail, because the sheriff told them in very plain language that he would kill anyone who approached any nearer the jail door. This, of course, settled the matter as far as the cowards were concerned. The following dispatches to the daily papers of Wednesday and Thursday are self-explanatory: Norwalk, O., May 12.—The case of Stratton, Kimbro and Martin, the three young colored men brought to Norwalk from Fremont Sunday, will be investigated by the Sandusky county grand jury to-morrow. This plan will obviate the necessity of taking the prisoners to Fremont for a preliminary examination before a magistrate and consequently they will probably be kept in jail in Norwalk until they are placed on trial in the common pleas court. Their attorneys will probably ask for a change of venue, so that it is probable that the trials will take place in Huron county. The three prisoners, acting upon the advice of their attorneys, refuse to talk about the shooting affair in Fremont, merely saying that the published accounts are untrue, that the "other side" was more to blame than they were and that the truth will become known at the proper time. They refuse to talk to anyone on any subject relative to the Fremont affair, except to Sheriff Gates' 72-year-old son, with whom they freely converse about the riot at Fremont Saturday night and about how frightened they were. Wheeler Kimbro, one of the prisoners, has been shot at five different times since going to Fremont to work in the Clauss shear works, where he and other colored men took the places of strikers and one (white) man is now under bond in Fremont, pending an examination for one of the shootings. A large number of colored people, men, women and children, passed through Norwalk late yesterday afternoon from Fremont en route to Oberlin and other places. The number included not only those connected with the Clauss shear works, but also those who had been residents of Fremont for many years. Fremont, O., May 13.—A country churchyard could not have been more quiet or more orderly than Fremont was to-day. The militia was not needed, there being no disturbances. No demonstration was made near the Clauss factory other than the assembling of a large crowd expecting to see trouble when the management attempted to start the works. No attempt was made by sympathizers, either by word or force, to prevent any man who desired from entering the factory. Only a few entered, not sufficient to operate the works. The settlement rumors are still in circulation, but although overtures have been made, as yet the agreement has not been made. It is predicted that the settlement will come Thursday. Three men are now charged with the murder of Otto Mischke. They are Wheeler Kimbro, Lorenzo Martin and Charles Stratton, locked up Saturday night. Richard Pettiford and son Will were placed under arrest to-day at Berlin Heights while en route to Bellevue to give themselves up. The first three had their hearing at Bellevue, waived examination, and were bound over without bail for first degree murder. The hearing of the Pettifords is set for Saturday, but in the meantime it is thought they will be indicted either as principals or accessories to the crime. The five colored men were returned to the Norwalk jail. To-day the grand jury examined some 30 witnesses investigating the crime, and has about completed hearing testimony. A report will be made Friday. This evening everything in the city is absolutely quiet, and not a single incident of any moment is transpiring, the city seemingly having settled down to its normal state again, awaiting the settlement developments. Sheriff Mason is receiving hundreds of telegrams, letters and newspaper editorials congratulating him upon the brave stand he took when he faced the angry mob Sat...rday night last. The three Afro-Americans under arrest were at Pettiford's house when the mob assaulted them. He was a foreman in the shear works. This explains his and his son's arrest on the foolish charge of being "accessories to the crime." No crime was committed, nor will the men ever be convicted of having committed any. WON FROM THE "LILY WHITES." Roosevelt Forces Captured Meeting of Alabama Republican Executive Committee Birmingham, Ala.—A meeting of the republican state executive committee, called at the instance of the "lilly white" leaders, held Tuesday, was captured by the supporters of President Roosevelt. The action of the last republican state convention in excluding Afro-Americans from the councils of the party was practically nullified by the adoption of a plan for holding a state convention next year whereby all voters qualified under the constitution of Alabama, and who believe in the principles of the republican party, are to be allowed to take part in the party's councils. This lets in the registered Afro-American voters, of whom there are about 2,000 in the state. The full committee was present in person or by proxy. The test vote showed that the Roosevelt forces had 20 votes and the "lily whites" 13. A resolution was also adopted indorsing the administration of Roosevelt, but a proposed resolution indorsing him for the nomination next year was not presented, being withheld, it is stated, in the interest of harmony. Waring Colned the Word. Our esteemed contemporary, Harry C. Smith, of the Cleveland, O., Gazette, takes exceptions to an editorial scrib which appeared in the Mail and Express sometime ago, which gave Mr. Fortune the credit of being the originator of the term Afro-American. Mr. Smith says Mr. Fortune is not the author of the word, but that it was coined by Everett J. Waring, of Columbus, O., 25 or 30 years ago. We know that Mr. Fortune has had the credit of being the author of the word ever since we first had any knowledge of it, and that he has been given the credit of being the originator of it by men in high authority in New York City, where he was for a long time the one conscious figure in metropolitan journalism. Probably Mr. Smith and the New York Age know more about this than we do, and we therefore pass our end of the argument on to the Age, and if Mr. Smith knows as much about the term as he says he does, we guess he is able to take care of his end of the controversy himself.—Red Bank (N. J.) Mail and Express. Another Editor on Ed E. Cooper. Someone with authority to mail second class matter in the name of the Colored American has sent us a marked copy of that paper containing the ineredible statement by that famous economizer of the truth, Ed Cooper, that the Colored American had more subscribers in Chicago than the Conservator has. We had seen the article before, but did not think it worth notice, as we never deem it sensible to seek to refute a lie that is so palpable and glaring as to be self-refuting, and we only give it notice now that we may, for the good and protection of others, emphasize the total deprivacy of Brother Cooper, who scruples not to perpetrate the most outrageous falsehood to accomplish a selfish end, and who is so hardened in the art of deception that no blush of shame ever lights up his sin-worn cheeks when overtaken in his work of rascality.

Continued from First Page.) they do not expect to see the bias and prejudices of yearz disappear at the blast of a trumpet; but they are absolutely certain that the way for a people to gain their reasonable rights is not by voluntarily throwing away and insisting that they do not want them; that the way for a people to gain respect is not by continually belittling and ridiculing themselves. That on the contrary, Negroes must insist continually, in season and out of season that voting is necessary to modern manhood, that color discrimination is barbarism, and that black boys need education as well as white boys." In his sketches of life and character in the country districts of the south he pictures the sober, earnest strivings of a down-trodden people struggling toward the light. In this he differs from many authors who picture southern life as a care-free, jovial existence. Of Alexander Crummell he says "he was born with the Missouri compromise and lay a dying amid the echoes of Manila and El Caney." He devotes a whole chapter to the grand old man and his review of his career is tinged with melancholy. The book comprises a collection of various essays, written at different times under varying circumstances. Through it all it seems as though one can hear the pitenous wail of a down-trodden people born "within the veil." In speaking of the death of his child and the manner in which he took that sad event, everything, as far as our race is concerned, seems sad, dark, with no hope. There is a vein of despondency and hopelessness running all through the book, which is one of facts nevertheless. Righteous indignation is expressed also, but no hope. From his description the life of those born "within the veil" has been and now is dark, and there seems to be no bright prospects for the future. "Souls of Black Folk" should be read by both our people and those of the other race. It has a mission for both to perform and should receive careful reading and study. A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago, publishers. Nearly Fifty Graduates. Washington, D. C.-The 35th session of the medical, dental and pharmacic departments of Howard university was held last week Tuesday evening at the First Congregational church. An immense crowd was present and the exercises were exceptionally pleasing. These departments of the well-known university are decidedly the most popular as well as the most successful. Dr. F. J. Shadd, well and favorably known throughout the country as a leading physician and surgeon, is at the head of the medical department. This explains in a large degree its wonderful success. There were 29 graduates of the medical branch, 9 of the dentistry and 10 of the pharmacy. Did Some Shooting Himself. Did Some Shooting Himself. New York City.—Two policemen attacked Joseph Saunders, an Afro-American, on May 2, beating him over the head with their revolvers and otherwise mistreating him, all on account of his being a colored man. When forbearance had ceased to be a virtue, he shot and killed both of the policemen. In giving his testimony in the court, he told how he was attacked and closed by saying, "AND THEN I DONE SOME SHOOTING." To the Afro-American both north and south we would advise that when you are attacked or your homes invaded or an attempt to assault your wives and daughters is made, "DO SOME SHOOTING WITH YOUR WINCHESTERS IN HAND, DIE THE DEATH OF BRAVE MEN." IN DESPERATE STRAITS. Colombia Has No Money and Cannot Pay Its National Debt. Washington, May 14.—A gloomy picture of the terrible plight in which Colombia finds itself as the result of the exhausting four years of rebellion is contained in a communication which has reached this city from a source of unquestionable reliability. These reports show that on March 1 last the government gave notice that it had stopped the issue of the paper money that was flooding the country and had turned the lithograph plates from which it was made over to a committee composed of prominent members of different political parties. Consequently the government early in April was almost entirely without funds. It had not enough to pay running expenses, to say nothing of foreign claims and demands. Not a cent of interest had been paid on the national debt since the war began in 1892. The claims growong out of the revolution were assuming most eremedous proportions, and as there was no other means of relief it was apparent that the government again must have recourse to the lithograph stones and start the presses running again. Moreover it was the general opinion that even the small measure of relief which might follow the receipt of $10,000,000 from the United States on account of the Panama canal could not be obtained, as it was not expected that congress would ratify the treaty. A MURDER MYSTERY. Pittsburg Police Believe that a Man Found in a River was a Victim of Highwaymen. Pittsburg, May 14.—The finding of the body of an unknown man floating in the Monongahela river at the foot of Short street yesterday will probably develop a murder mystery. A handkerchief had been forced into the man's mouth and there were several wounds on the back of the head, which seem to have been inflicted by a blunt instrument. The body is that of a man about 60 years old, well dressed, and has the appearance of being above the class of people that usually frequent the water front. There was nothing on the person that would in any way lead to identification. The body had been in the water not more than 12 hours. The face indicated that it had been dragged along the ground. The officers think that the man was assaulted and robbed on some of the streets near where the body was found and that after the robbery had been committed it was discovered by the highwaymen that their victim was much worse hurt than was at first thought. They then stuffed the gag into his mouth and carried the man to the river and threw him into the water. Cleveland & Sandusky Brewing Co. Ernst Mueller, President. John M. Leicht. Second Vice-Pres.

"THE MARROW OF TRADITION." "The Marrow of Tradition" is the latest and generally accepted among our people at least as decidedly the best work from the pen of Charles W. Chestnutt, Esq., the well-known writer, of this city. The scene of the story is laid in North Carolina. The leading characters are Mr. and Mrs. Carteret, the former editor of the leading paper there, The Morning Chronicle; his half-sister Clara, her fiance, Tom Delumere, and his father, a Mr. Ellis, also in love with Clara, and Dr. Miller and his wife, the two latter Afro-Americans. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Carteret are half-sisters, their father having secretly married the former's mother (an Afro-American) upon the death of his first wife, Mrs. Carteret's mother. This book is a story with a motive, and teaches a lesson of profound significance and importance to both races, north and south. Mr. Chestnutt has pictured this North Carolina community with realism, and the passions, prejudices, sentiments and idea of his characters are representative of the people of the south. There is a love story running through the book, making it all the more interesting. Here is illustrated (in the book) the "power of the press." With his paper to back him, Mr. Carteret, the editor, keeps constantly sowing seeds of discord among the two races, who bertofore had been living together in peace. In his great and overweening desire to bring about "white supremacy" he finally arouses the people to a riot. Innocent people on both sides are killed. In his book Mr. Chestnutt makes no attempt to picture the romantic side of the southern character. He shows the supreme absorption of the southern mind in questions of local politics, in the bugaboo question of race supremacy. Mr. Chestnutt is not in sympathy with this determination on the part of the white race in the south to rule regardless of numbers or of the rights of Afro-Americans. Nowhere, except in India and in the United States, could such pictures of caste prejudice be drawn as he has depicted in this and other of his books, but in "The Marrow of Tradition" he is not primarily concerned with this social side of the question. A more fundamental problem is dealt with, and the question the book raises concerns the civilization of O. CLAIRVOYANT. MRS.

This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all Mediums, have consulted of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, consult you go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands of letters to her by letter $1.00.

The picture Mr. Chestnutt draws of a town given over to mob violence under the leadership of what should be the conservative element forces the above questions on the attention of the reader. "The Marrow of Tradition" is "right up to the present time" and ought to be read carefully by every intelligent member of the race. See that it is in your library.

Nash, in a letter sent a local member of the race last week, said the reason why no company of the Ninth battalion was sent to St. Louis with the Ohio troops was because there was not a company in the organization that was sufficiently well drilled or up to the proper standard. The governor was and is mistaken. The Gazette has received from Mr. Walter B. Wright, secretary to President William H. Canniff, of the Nickel Plate railroad Co., the sixteenth annual report of the board of directors to the stockholders. An enormous amount of work has been done by the road the past fiscal year. The report also contains a summary of freight, passenger, train and other statistics. Union services were held at Antioch church last Sunday afternoon. Rev. R. H. Dickerson, of Cory chapel, gave quite a nice talk. The Ladies' Home and Foreign Missionary society will give a literary entertainment Wednesday evening. May 20. Question: What relation is the Negro to this country socially? It will be discussed by some of our ablest talent. All are welcome. Many young people are joining Cory chapel. The Young Ladies' Helping Hand club and the Willing Workers gave a pleasant social on Monday and Thursday evenings. The Tribe of Benjamin will serve refreshments on next Thursday evening. The Tribes are making an earnest effort to have the grandest rally in the history of the church June 28. Collection last Sunday was $24. The talented young violinist of Washington, D. C., Mr. Clarence C. White, will give a recital in Forest street armory Monday evening, June 1, assisted by Mrs. Beulah Griffin West, soprano; the "Aeolian quartette" (jubilee singers) and McAfee's unexcelled orchestra. Mr. White is on his western concert tour. Admission: Gents, 50 cents; ladies, 35 cents. All who attended had a pleasant time at the first house social given by the Young Ladies' Loyalty club of Shiloh church at Miss Maud Brown's on Sterling avenue on last week Thursday evening. There was a good attendance, nearly all being members of the church. Ice cream and cake was served. Pretty souvenirs (pins with different scenes in the life of Paul) were given away. The amount realized was $6.30. In the spelling match the president of the club, Miss Esther Irving, "stood up" the longest, much to the gratification of the members. Successful efforts were made to save from a pauper's grave the body of "Squire" Hockins, who died at the city infirmary last week Wednesday. Wm. L. Shaffer, who went to the infirmary office to try to get aid and was told the city would bury the body in the "Potter's field," said: "The old "Squire" ought to have a decent burial. He was a fine old man. When he died I went down on Hill street, where he used to live, to find his relatives, but they had gone away." Shaffer gave Undertaker Jennings $5 as part payment and said he could raise $5 more. Mr. Cooley promised to help secure the balance of $10.

Lane Memorial church was filled Monday evening, May 11, by members from all the local churches who came to attend the elocutionary contest. The following program was rendered: Song, choir; invocation; duet, Wm. Thomas and Cally Shy; recitation, "So Was I," Essie Oliver, Mt. Zion S. S.; "Trouble in the Amen Corner," Ella Early, Shiloh S. S.; "Be Calm," Bertha Weston, Cory S. S.; "The Terrible Charge," Lulu Noble, Antioch S. S.; Ida Grant, St. John's S. S.; "The Fire Bell's Story," Cally L. Shy, Lane Memorial S. S. The judges were Mrs. Thurston, of Cory chapel; Dorsey Moore, of Shiloh church, and another gentleman whose name we were not able to get. They were in doubt as to whether Ella Early, Bertha Weston or Luhu Noble did the the best. It finally resulted in a tie vote between the two former, each receiving $2.50. Misses Early and Weston responded in a neat speech and turned their prize money over to the pastor. Rev. Copeland. All the participants did very well. Mrs. Edmund Chives Dead.

A., Cleveland, O. 07 THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1903. Obituary. Oberlin, O.—Mr. Thomas Janey came here when a boy of four years. He obtained his education in our public schools and spent the rest of his life here. He married Morning Winfield at Sandusky, January 11, 1856. They had no children, and of his immediate family but one sister, Mrs. Emaline Bibbs, of Tiffin, remains. Mr. Janey was a civil war veteran having enlisted in Co. G, 3d U. S. colored heavy artillery. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence and well posted on political affairs; a sober, thoughtful Christian man, although not connected with any church. This community lost one of its best citizens in his death. Mrs. Janey has the sympathy of all in her sad bereavement.—Rev. Greene, of Elyria, was in town.—Mr. Monroe Smith has bought a nice piece of property.—The ladies will give a lunch at Rust church. Some improvements will be made on the church and parsonage.—A social was given at Mt. Zion church May 8. An entertainment will begin May 27 at the church. This is for You. Reader! The old reliable Gazette desires an energetic and honest agent, and a good correspondent, in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following named cities: Zanesville, Martins Ferry, Gallipolis, Cambridge, Wellsville, Portsmouth, Delaware, Springfield, Piqua, Urbana, Hamilton and Sandusky. Write to the editor of The Gazette, Blackstone building, Cleveland, O., and our terms will be sent at once. Our readers can oblige us greatly by sending at once the address of any good person or persons in any of the cities named above or others, to whom we can write relative to the matter. Clemens and Speaks, Delegates. Delaware, O.—The electoral college of the northern Ohio district conference of the A. M. E, church met here on Wednesday and elected Wm. E. Clemens, of Toledo, and Wm. F. Speaks, of Springfield, delegates to the general conference which convenes in Chicago, May, 1904. Mr. Henry Taylor, of Cleveland, and J. T. Hornaday, of Yellow Springs, were elected alternates. Mr. Taylor nominated Mr. Clemens, who was elected by acclamation, was appointed chairman of the committee on credentials and was elected one of the two clerks of the college. All of which is very creditable to Cleveland, and especially St. John's church, which he represents. Mr. Taylor was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Crawford, who have a beautiful home and entertained him and his son royally. Threatened With Death. Washington, D. C.—The civil service commission relative to the appointment of John C. Allgood, the Tennessee Afro-American rural free delivery carrier threatened with death unless he quit the route, says that no protests were filed against him, and he was named for the position after a white man had declined it. He stood second in the competitive examination and had recommendations of good character.

M Mrs. Frances Stafford, of 243 E. 114th St., N.Y. City, adds her testimony to the hundreds of thousands on Mrs. Pinkham's files. When Lydia E. Pinkham's Remedies were first introduced skeptics all over the country frowned upon their curative claims, but as year after year has rolled by and the little group of women who had been cured by the new discovery has since grown into a vast army of hundreds of thousands, doubts and skepticisms have been swept away as by a mighty flood, until to-day the great good that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and her other medicines are doing among the women of America is attracting the attention of many of our leading scientists, physicians and thinking people. Merit alone could win such fame; wise, therefore, is the woman who for a cure relies upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. RATHER TOO SMART Facetious Young Lawyer Gets a Taking Down by an Indignant Witness. A promising barrister was wont to declare that, though many a bad case had been won by a brilliant sally in court, equally as many good ones had been lost through overdoing the thing, says London Tit-Bits. Not long ago a case arising out of a street accident came on for hearing at a certain county court. An electric tramcar had figured in the collision, and when one of the witnesses stepped forward he was at once tackled by the facetious young gentleman engaged by the plaintiffs. "What are you?" he began abruptly. "An electric conductor," responded the witness. "Indeed!" ejaculated the lawyer. "A living light conductor, I suppose?" For one moment the witness hesitated. Then he boldly tackled the facetious one. "Look here, young man," he remarked, in a fatherly sort of way. "You may not know it, but there are different kinds of conductors. For instance, I'm one and you're another, and if I didn't conduct my car any better than you're conducting your case, I should earn the sack, and get it!" Sickness Made Them Generous. When the government ship Dolphin was coming home from Cuba, carrying Secretary of War Moody, Senator Hale, of the naval committee, and Speaker-elect Cannon, some rough weather was encountered. Just previous to the coming of the storm the statesmen named' had been discussing the proposed building of six battleships. Messrs. Hale and Cannon succumbed to seasickness. When his suffering had become too intense to be borne any longer in silence "Uncle Joe" called out to Secretary Moody: "Say, Moody, if you will get us to shore quickly, I'll give you six battleships next winter." "I will make a better bill than that," exclaimed Senator Hale. "I'll favor 20 battleships if the secretary will only keep this ship still for half an hour."—Kansas City Journal. A Tight Squeeze Brazils, Ark., May 11th.—To be snatched from the very brink of the grave is a somewhat thrilling experience and one which Mrs. M. O. Garrett of this place has just passed through. Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cerebrospinal affection, and had been treated by the best physicians, but without the slightest improvement. For the last twelve months two doctors were in constant attendance, but she only grew worse and worse, till she could not walk, and did not have any power to move at all. She was so low that for the greater part of the time she was perfectly unconscious of what was going on about her, and her heart-broken husband and friends were hourly expecting her death. The doctors had given up all hope and no one thought she could possibly live. In this extremity Mr. Garrett sent for a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. It was a last hope, but happily it did not fail. Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes of the remedy, and is completely cured. She says: "I am doing my own work now and feel as well as ever I did. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved me from death."

SHORT NEWS NOTES They Come From Many Parts of the World. Information of Recent Date Collected in Various Ways and Condensed for the Convenience of Our Busy Readers. Statistics compiled by the board of health show that the population of the city of New York is increasing at a remarkable rate. The births reported in Manhattan borough alone during the first four months of the present year were 2,000 in excess of those reported in the same period last year. The Commercial Telegraphers' union of America has filed a petition in the United States district court at St. Louis, asking Judge Adams to issue an injunction to restrain the Western Union Telegraph Co. from discharging men belonging to the union. Mrs. Myra Rose Searles was given a judgment for $12,000 by a jury at Elizabeth, N. J. She was a handsome woman until she was injured in a collision between cars on a trolley line. Her attorney called attention to the loss of beauty as a result of the injuries and this is supposed to have had great weight with the jurors. She is now a helpless invalid. Her husband was given a verdict for $3,000 because of the loss of his wife's companionship. The Gatling gun which has been placed on the mountain commanding the approaches to the mine of the Raleigh Coal Co., near Stanford City, W. Va., was tried recently for the first time and proved a success. The gun was fired constantly for two minutes, during which time 2,200 steel bullets were hurled into the mountain opposite, and when the firing ceased the dense woodlands looked as though a cyclone had struck it. All of the boilermakers of the Southern Pacific Railroad Co. west of El Paso and Ogden and south of Portland quit work out of sympathy with the members of the International union who have been having trouble for the past six months with the Union Pacific. The number of men involved is about 420. The union machinists of the Union Pacific are also along with the boilermakers. Dozens of houses have been destroyed, also thousands of tons of hay and some live stock by a prairie fire on the range west of Velva, N. D. The fire is not yet under control and the village of Sawyer is threatened. One of the boilers in the Indianapolis, Ind., hominy mills exploded recently, killing one man and injuring several others. Of the injured, who were hurried to the hospitals, one will die. Thirteen Christians were killed and nineteen were wounded and three Musselmans were killed during the recent outbreak at Monastir. The board of agriculture of Great Britain has prohibited the importation into that country of animals from Argentina and Uruguay on and after May 12, in consequence of the existence of foot and mouth disease in those republics. Chancellor Day, of Syracuse university, has suspended the entire freshman class for acts committed by some of its members, when the class numerals were painted over college buildings. Dynamite was exploded throughout the night, sidewalks ripped up and other depredations to property in the neighborhood of the university were committed. The Chicago & Northwestern Railway Co. has served notice on the city of Milwaukee, Wis., that it claims possession of all the land along the lake shore east of its tracks for distance of a mile. A Seaboard Air Line train ran into a washout at Cushen curve, two and one-half miles from Fernandina, Fla. Five or six passengers were slightly and three trainmen seriously hurt. Five hundred feet of the permanent trestle work of the Lucien cut off adjacent to the east shore of Salt Lake, Utah, sank while a train was passing over it and 20 cars were thrown into the filled-in grade. The commissioner of the general land office has temporarily withdrawn from entry 400,000 acres of public land in the Blackfoot district in Idaho for irrigation purposes. An explosion followed by fire occurred in a boat of the Standard Oil Co. at Long Island City. The vessel was towed into the middle of East river, where the flames were extinguished. John Quinn, the mate of the boat, was killed. A second explosion occurred while the craft was being held in mid-stream by tugs. No one was hurt. Overcrowding at naval training stations along the Atlantic coast is causing concern in the navy department. There has been considerable sickness among the men recently, it is feared, due to this cause. The department has decided to relieve the congestion by quartering the overflow in tents. The laying of a duplicate German Atlantic cable was commenced recently at Borkum, an island in the North sea, 26 miles from Emden. As a result of the refusal of the builders' exchange of Jackson, Mich., to accede to the demands of the building laborers for $2 per day, the building business of the city is at a complete standstill and about 2,000 men are idle. Frank M. Barnett, a clerk in the United States bureau of ethnology, has been arrested on a charge of forgery. Barnett's offense consisted in opening private mail addressed to officials in the office and abstracting therefrom two checks for $175, which he cashed at a local banking house. He admitted his guilt. A man who describes himself as George Reynolds, an Englishman, has been arrested at New York as a result of a robbery of silver ware and jewelry valued at $10,000 and some private papers from August Belmont. All the stolen property was recovered. The secretary of agriculture has raised the quarantine upon cattle, sheep and other ruminants and swine in Rhode Island which was imposed by the order of November 27, 1902. All animals affected with foot and mouth disease in the state have been destroyed and the premises occupied by them thoroughly disinfected. The Staten Island carpenters, 400 in number, are again on strike. One of the firms in paying the men last Saturday morning told them to quit for the rest of the day and deducted two hours' time. The men reported to the union and all the union carpenters on the island were called out. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O.. SATURDAY. MAY 16. 1903. President Roosevelt has tendered to Frederick W. Holls, of New York City, the position of umpire to act in the settlement of the claims of Germany and Italy against Venezuela. It is reported that the Panama Canal Co. has offered the Colombian government $12,000,000 of the $40,000,000 the company receives from the United States for the canal property. At Shamokin, Pa., the Shipman Coal Co.'s Colbert breaker, valued at $40,000, was destroyed by fire of unknown origin. Five hundred employees are rendered idle. What will be the most extensive quarantine of cattle in the west for many years will be in effect within a few days as the result of the general prevalence of the mange. Cattle from the Mexican border to Canada will come under these regulations and practically all of the territory from the Rockies to the Missouri river will be affected. The western Missouri court of appeals has decided that a member of a church congregation is not liable in law for the payment of the pastor's salary, and that a minister of the gospel must depend upon the consciences of the members of his flock for it, and has no legal hold upon them for it. The Wisconsin assembly has killed the bill giving women the right of suffrage under specified conditions. There was a little race riot in Saint Tammany parish, about 50 miles from New Orleans, the other night. An insolent negro was beaten with an ax handle by a white man. The negroes armed and a pitched battle with white citizens followed, in which four negroes, one of whom was the aggressor, were killed. A new feature in the waiters' strike in Kansas City is the refusal of the bakers' drivers to deliver to non-union restaurants. The order will affect every member of the Restaurant Men's Protective association, of which there are 48. It is likely that a number of American cities will maintain a municipal pavilion as part of the "Model City," or install a municipal exhibit as part of the general exhibition of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. The committee on legislation has begun a movement to induce the municipal lawmaking bodies to make appropriation to this effect. Richard Henry Stoddard, the post, is dead at his residence in New York. Mrs. Stoddard died less than a year ago, and his son, Lorimer Stoddard, is also dead. Mr. Stoddard was the only one of the family left. The crew, numbering 31 men, of the French three-master Star of the Seas, bound for Newfoundland, have been rescued by the Russian steamer Capella and taken to Cherbourg. The Star of the Seas was abandoned and subsequently foundered. The announcement from Constantinople that Armenian revolutionary bands had entered Armenia from Russia is looked upon as possibly being the commencement of another troublesome anti-Turkish revolutionary movement in a district which was the scene of former massacres of Armenians by Turkish troops. The American schooner James Slater, of Port Jegerson, Long Island, 34 days out from Savana-LaMar with logwood for New York, put into San Juan, P. R., having been driven back from off Cape Hatteras April 2. The crew had been subsisting on pea soup alone for 12 days and were very weak.

The fire started in the wareroom and was of mysterious origin. The insurance is about $65,000. John H. Moore, a farmer living two miles from Coleman, Mich., is dead as a*result of injuries received in a fight with Mat Sentz and his son, neighbors. The men met on the road and quarreled over starting fires. The International Association of Machinists has taken decisive action leading to a straight nine-hour day in place of 55 hours per week, which rule applies in many of the shops throughout the country. It has also decided to abolish the system of piece work, commencing with July 1, 1904. According to mail advices received from south China, hundreds are dying in Kwangsu province as a result of the famine there. Correspondents writing from several sections say the destitution, suffering and death are appalling. Whole families are subsisting on a few ounces of rice a day, or on roots and leaves. Missionaries are feeding thousands daily. Reports from the Adirondacks indicate that the gravest danger exists to several large tracts on account of forest fires. The rains reported several days ago were only effective in scattered localities. Gangs of men are doing their best to control the flames, but the woods are so dry that their efforts have little effect. A man calling himself Paul Adams, of California, is under arrest at Newark, N. J., charged with attempting to rob a safe in a jewelry store in that city. New York detectives have identified him as George Shea, who on January 27, 1899, stole $10,000 from the Metropolitan national bank in Boston and who served two and a half years for the robbery. He is also wanted in Chicago, the police say, for an $8,000 diamond robbery. Three masked men battered in the door of Laurence Gregory's home, five miles northeast of Monroe, Mich., bound Gregory and then robbed him of $56 cash, a certificate of deposit for $20 and a check for $340. Gregory, who is a bachelor, aged 69 years, lived alone in the house. Cardinal Satolli recently applied to the pope to confer a title of nobility on Martin Malony, of Philadelphia, because of his large church offerings and his efforts to further Catholicism, and the pontiff has issued a brief creating Mr. Malony a marquis. Six Thousand Men in Nigeria Killed by British Troops. The Dusky African Warriors Were Mowed Down, but They Would Not Surrender—Defenders of Sokoto Were Well Equipped. London, May 13.—Colonial Secretary Chamberlain announced in the house of commons yesterday that as a result of the British military operations in the Sokoto and Kano districts, ending with the capture of the emir of Kano, 100,000 square miles of territory had been added to northern Nigeria and would be administered by the government of that territory. Interesting details have been received here of the capture of Sokoto March 14 by the British column commanded by Col. Morland. The engagement lasted $2\frac{1}{2}$ hours. The British numbered about 500 men, with four quick firing guns and four Maxims. The enemy's horse and foot were estimated to number some 6,000 men, their riflemen being armed with modern rifles and using smokeless powder. The British camped during the night of March 13 one and one-half miles from Sokoto, after a hard march of 100 miles from Kaura, with but little water and having passed through a difficult country. At daybreak March 14 the British moved out in square formation towards the valley in which Sokoto lies. Immediately after the British appeared over a ridge the Fulanis charged with fanatical bravery, undeterred by a withering Maxim and rifle fire. They had no proper leadership, but the isolated, bands continued to advance over heaps of dead and dying, often only individuals reaching within a yard of the square, where, refusing quarter, they were shot down while shouting "Allah" with their last breath. The main body of the natives was finally routed, leaving a remnant of about 30 chiefs around the emir's great white flag. These chiefs were defiant to the last and their corpses were found hedging the standard when the British entered the city, which consisted mostly of thatched houses. Its ruined walls extended seven miles around the place and were pierced by eight gates. A few days later the populace returned and the Fulanian tendered their submission to Commissioner Lugard, who arrived March 19. The British then returned towards the coast, leaving a garrison of two companies of infantry. GOES INTO EFFECT. Pennsylvania's Governor Has Sancioned the New Libel Law. Harrisburg, Pa., May 13.—Gov. Pennypacker approved the Grady-Salus libel bill yesterday and at the same time issued a long statement giving the reasons for his action. The bill, which was in the governor's hands for more than a month, goes into effect immediately and repeals all laws or parts of laws inconsistent with the new act. The governor claims there is nothing in the terms of the measure which prevents any newspaper from making such comments upon legislative measures or upon the official acts of state, municipal, county or public officers as are proper for the information of the public, or are in the line of legitimate public discussion. Continuing, he says: "The bill in its application is not confined to officials, but affects as well the citizen or business man, whose conduct constitutes no part of the right of the public to information. The corporation officer who has been falsely charged with crime; the manufacturer who has been falsely accused of being a drunken brawler; the woman whose domestic griefs have been unfeelingly paraded, or whose chastity is improperly suspected; the student who has been falsely accused of murder; the clergyman who has been cruelly maligned; the quiet citizen whose peace of mind has been destroyed by the publication of evil gossip; the merchant whose credit has been affected by groundless rumors; the sufferers from reckless but not necessarily malicious publication are given the right, not to prohibit publication, but to recover the damages which they have sustained, provided they prove negligence or lack of care on the part of the publishing newspapers. All of these are instances of what has in fact recently occurred." Injunction Against Business Men. Omaha, Neb., May 13.—Judge Dickinson in the district court last night, on application of John O. Yeiser, an attorney representing the labor unions whose members are on strike, issued an injunction against the business men and proprietors even more sweeping than that issued by the federal court against the unions last week. The order restrains the business men from refusing to sell goods to dealers who employ union labor, prevents them from boycotting union labor and requires the Business Men's association to cease holding meetings or conspiring against the unions, or in any way interfering with the unions in the management of their affairs. A Wine Dealer's Trial Berlin, May 13.—Dr. Schlamp, a wine grower of Nierstein, has been charged with wholesale adulteration of his product and the case is now being heard before the court at Mayence. More than 200 wine growers have been called as witnesses, and a large number of doctors, chemists and professors will testify for the state. Dr. Schlamp held annual auction sales at which he sold enormous quantities of his product, much of which went to the United States. The case is attracting considerable attention, as Dr. Schlamp is the largest wine grower in Germany. A Big Blaze at Buffalo. Buffalo, N. Y., May 13.—The Diamond mills, owned by Churchill & Co., an elevator owned by the same company, the transfer house of the Lake Shore and Erie railroads, and about 40 cars were destroyed by fire last night. A score of small houses in the vicinity of the big blaze were damaged and it was only by the combined efforts of all the fire fighting apparatus and firemen in the city that a more extensive conflagration was prevented. The loss is estimated at $250,000. The fire started in the rear of the Diamond mills. LOVES THE PRAIRIES. Miss Anna Gray Is Delighted with Her Western Canada Home. Anna C. Gray is a young lady, formerly of Michigan. She is now a resident of Western Canada, and the following published in the Brown City (Mich.) Banner are extracts from a friendship letter written about March 15 to one of her lady friends in that vicinity. In this letter is given some idea of the climate, social, educational and religious conditions of Alberta, the beautiful land of sunshine and happy homes. Over one hundred thousand Americans have made Western Canada their home within the past five years, and in this year upwards of 50,000 will take up homes there. Miss Gray took her leave for Didsbury, Alberta, the home of her sister and other relatives and friends on Jan. 10 last, and after a two months' sojourn in her western prairie home, she writes of it as follows: "I know I shall grow to love the prairies. We have a beautiful view of the mountains, and it seems wonderful to me to see home after home for miles, and it is becoming thickly settled all around us. With the exception of the last few days, which have been cold and stormy, we have had beautiful spring weather ever since I came. The days are beautiful. I call this the 'land of the sun,' as it seems to be always shining, the nights are cold and frosty. On arriving here, I was so greatly surprised in every way. Didsbury is quite a business little town. All the people I meet are so pleasant and hospitable. They have four churches in Didsbury—the Baptist, Presbyterian, Evangelical and Mennonite. The Evangelicals have just completed a handsome church, very large and finely furnished, costing $2,500. They have a nice literary society here, meets every two weeks. They have fine musical talent here. A Look Into the Future "Yes," said the eminent merchant as he swallowed a tabloid beefsteak, "our ancestors were an improvident set." "They certainly were," assented the other, gulping down a pill containing two fried eggs and a cup of coffee.

TIRED BACKS A Come to all who overtax the Kidney. Don't neglect the aching back. Many dangerous Kidney troubles follow in its wake. Mrs. C. B. Pare of Columbia Ave., Glasgow, Kentucky, wife of C. B. Pare, aprom- inent brick manufacturer of that city, says: "When Doan's Kidney Pills were first brought to my attention I was suffering from a complication of kidney troubles. Besides the bad back which usually results from kidney complaints, I had a great deal of trouble with the secretions, which were exceedingly variable, sometimes excessive and at other times scanty. The color was high, and passages were accompanied with a scalding sensation. Doan's Kidney Pills soon regulated the kidney secretions, making their color normal and banished the inflammation which caused the scalding sensation. I can rest well, my back is strong and sound and I feel much better in every way." A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mrs. Pare will be mailed to any part of the United States on application. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Ensor, Postmaster of Columbia, S. C., late Superintendent and Physician in charge of State Insane Asylum at Columbia, S. C., writes: "After using your Peruna myself for a short period, and my family having used and are now using the same with good results, and upon the information of others who have been benefited by it as a cure for catarch and an invigorating tonic, I can cheerfully recommend it to all persons requiring so effective a remedy."---Dr. J. F. Ensor. Hon. C. W. Butts, ex-Member of Congress from North Dakota, in a letter from Washington, D. C., says: "That Peruna is not only a vigorous, as well as an effective tonic, but also a cure of catarrh is beyond controversy. It is already established by its use by the thousands who have been benefited by it. I cannot too highly express my appreciation of its excellence.—C. W. Butts. Dr. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writes: "Peruna is the best medicine I know of for coughs and to strengthen a weak stomach and to give appetite. Beside prescribing it for catarrh, I have ordered it for weak and debilitated people, and have not had a patient but said it helped him. It is an excellent medicine and it fits so many cases. "I have a large practice, and have a chance to prescribe your Peruna. I hope you may live long to do good to the sick and suffering." Only the weak need a tonic. People are never weak except from some good cause. One of the obscure causes of weakness and the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh. Catarrh inflames the mucous membrane and causes the blood plasma to escape through the mucous membrane in the form of mucus.

The Chinese Secretary of Legation Was Not Much Perplexed by American Witticism. "Have you ever been naturalized?" "Yes; but it didn't take." "Now, that is what we Americans call a joke," explained the Washingtonian to the brand new secretary of the Chinese legation, who has indicated his desire to become con- variant with the customs of this country. versant with the customs of this country. In spite of the alleged humor, however, he failed to laugh, and his informant considered a full explanation proper, relates the Washington Times. "You see," he continued, "the word naturalized has been confused with vaccine." The meaning of the two words was then defined, together with the phrase didn't take. "When we say the vaccination didn't take, we mean that the virus didn't have the desired effect." With this the Chinaman expressed his admiration for American wit, and a broad smile overspread his face. The conversation was continued in a general way until the wise resident of Washington suddenly fancied it would be humorous to relieve himself of a joke at the expense of the Celestial. With a patronizing air he put a query to the attachie in jawbreaking words, and then laughed at his own brilliance. The secretary stared blandly at him for a moment, utterly bewildered by the question. His face was expressionless, but he gave a faint smiles when the American explained he had been joking. "A joke—yes; but it didn't take," he replied, with a naive smile. "Why, Willie," said mamma, "you're pulling the cat's tail." "Mamma, I ain't pulling her tail. I'm only holding it, and she's doing the pulling."—Humane Society Bulletin.
