The Gazette

CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1903. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. There is going to be a "heap" of political trouble in Ohio this fall. According to an exchange, "The Colored American Magazine published at Boston, Mass., has gone into the hands of a receiver." This is to be regretted. We advise our readers to give the Wilgera Oil and Gas Co., of Columbus, O., a "wide berth." The wisdom of this advice will be appreciated in the future, if not at present. Dr. Charles Parkhurst, of New York City, was again south recently tickling the southerners with his accustomed assaults upon our people. We thought him an abler and broader-gauged man. For the first and we trust the last time in the history of the republican party of Alabama at the state conference of the republicans held last week in the hall of the house of representatives the whites took seats on one side and the Afro-Americans on the other. About 100 of the latter were present. To what depths is republicanism at the south descending? The Associated Press liar was again located in Kentucky last week, busily engaged in sending out another fake story announcing that Afro-Americans were planning to seize Haiti. Strange how easily "gulled" are leading daily newspapers of the country. There is not even the shadow of truth in the Associated Press Haiti tale, and Booker Washington, whose name is used, ought to put a stop to it. Down in Georgia they are raising a purse for Lou Hadley, the Indianapolis chambermaid (white), who refused to make up a bed which had been occupied the night before by Dr. Booker T. Washington, and was promptly discharged by the Hotel English management for said refusal. The woman is 40 years of age and like the prejudiced fools who are raising the purse, ought to have known better. Williams and Walker and their company sailed week before last for London, England, where they are to show in the Shaftesbury theater, where Edna May and other American stage celebrities have won fame and fortune. Mr. Williams took with him a new $1,800 automobile. With the company was a complete set of scenery, properties and costumes, making one of the most elaborate productions ever taken from this country to London. The largest city in the world is for the first time seeing an "all colored" company in a show written and staged by Afro-Americans. Hundreds of Williams and Walker's colored and white friends were at the pier before the boat sailed to see them off, and sent them flowers and champagne galore. The two cemedian kings are deservedly popular. With such men as the sheriff at Fremont, O., and such a law as Hon. Harry C. Smith succeeded in having engrafted upon the statute books of Ohio, lynch law must go.—Richmond (Va.) Planet. Editor Harry C. Smith came near having another lynching in his state. Had the sheriff not been a brave man it would have been a triple lynching, and Oh! how that county would have suffered.—Omaha (Neb.) Progress. Under our Ohio anti-lynching law the three lynchings would have cost Sandusky county $15,000 and the the court costs of three cases, as well as other expenses, aggregating nearly $20,000. This, the sheriff, other officials of the county and all its intelligent citizen-taxpayers knew. This knowledge was, without doubt, one of the strongest incentives encouraging the sheriff to take and maintain so creditable, praiseworthy and sensible a stance. He doubtless is a brave man, of honor and integrity, and entitled to all the credit it is possible to give him. As a result of our law, lynch law in Ohio has been practically wiped out ever since the passage of the anti-lynching bill in 1896. The terrible massacre of Jews last week in Kishineff, Russia, and the horrible outrages perpetrated, are only what have taken place many times in the south with the Afro-American as a victim ever since the days of reconstruction, only the number killed and outraged at any one time being smaller. At Kishineff about 50 were killed and over 400 injured. Before the proper officials of this government file an official protest against such heathenish actions as characterized Kishineff last week it would be well for it to take some action looking to a discontinuance of its own southern massacres and equally brutal outrages. The barbar- ous exhibition at Kishineff but places the Russians of that city and vicinity (in the eyes of the world) upon the same plane occupied by the southern lyncher and mobocrat. The inhuman brutes of Russia and the southern part of this country are actuated by the same miserable motives, and would be wiped from the face of the earth by the law of any community upon which the civilization of the times had had its full and proper impress. The treatment of the Jew in Russia, some parts of Germany, France and Turkey, and that of the Afro-American in the southern part of the United States of America, is the dirtiest blot upon the world's escutcheon. All of which goes to show that the boasted civilization of today is not near what we affect at times to believe it to be. FAVORS THE REPEAL OF THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. In just what manner the New York Sun can logically favor the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution intelligent minds will fail to comprehend. It is true that the question of repeal has been quite earnestly advocated by the southern whites and especially by those defendant states which have adopted a law of disfranchisement. But the northern mind never thought of such a thing until the south conceived a plan of concealing its own shame and villainy in the disfranchisement act. The south, however, is in no fair attitude to disclaim the right of suffrage to the Afro-American except upon the ground that it is absolutely opposed to political equality. The majority, like the majority of white men, are as well qualified to cast an intelligent vote as citizens in general. But the question mooted by the people of the south is one of caste, of prejudice and hate. White men of the south cannot bear the idea of black men exercising and enjoying privileges which they foolishly claim to be exclusively their own, and were it possible, there would not be a free Afro-American in the south. They would be held as slaves or at least held in a state of servitude. The idea is repulsive to the white people, the ex-master and ex-mistress, that a "Negro" shall be invested with the common rights of an American citizen, and this is why the demand comes for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment. It is to be regretted that the Sun and so many of our ablest and leading journals of the north are allowing themselves to be deceived and misled into the idea that suffrage to the Afro-American was a mistake. But it may be seen at once how the Sun has been thus beguiled. It is purely political and like many such journals, views matters from a purely political standpoint instead of from a moral and righteous view. It has its prejudices and ideas which in many respects are in line with views propagated from mercenary motives. The Sun is far from being in keeping with the ten commandments. But be it remembered that the fifteenth amendment was framed by some of the best and ablest minds of the nation. They saw the grave emergency then before them, but they acted for the future from what they already knew of the past. They remembered that long before the war of 1861 Negroes once voted in several of the southern states as well as in the north, and in knowing this they acted upon it. What now are the facts? The southern Negro has ever been loyal, has ever regarded his obligation as a citizen and free voter, but the south demands his disfranchisement, and the New York Sun seconds the motion. IN A NUTSHELL. The Nashville American hits the nail squarely on the head when it says: "If the south would spend more time on the real problem of life and not so much on the Negro it would be better off. There is no money to be made in abusing the Negro and it takes but little thought to become an expert in that business." The American touches the paramount question and enjoins a wholesome duty upon southern white men who desire the actual well-being of southern institutions. No, there is nothing to be gained by eternally abusing Afro-Americans, and we believe verily that the south is the loser in this shameful contest. The south might be better engaged in husbanding its means and building up its home interest instead of distracting public feeling upon a matter which sooner or later must result in mischief to all concerned. The southern white man is bound to suffer materially, while at the same time he may affect the practical annihilation of the black race in his section. It is simply appalling to see to what extent the public mind can be heightened upon matters which are of no avail. The most of all is a dire hatred that is engendered toward the poor colored people, while they in turn are struck with amazement in wonder as to the meaning of the real issue. The south itself seems to have no objective point in view. They know how to abuse the black man, because he wants to hold up his head. The white man means to lift high his head and count himself great. Why not encourage the Afro-American to do himself like honors? Oh! Pity, indeed, that a people possessed with such high and manifold advantage should let slip their golden opportunity in recuperating their resources and building up dilapidated and waste places. The south can not lay the charge of agitation and viperation to our people nor to the people of the north. They abuse Afro-Americans and the abuse is resented. They make charges and these charges are refuted. They depreciate the Afro-American as a man and a citizen and attempt to degrade him. The humanity and the wisdom of the Christian world revolts against these outrages and the south maddens in devilish fury against a people for whom they profess best friendship. But it seems to be this very presence of the Afro-American among them that awakens this feel- ing of desperation and impels this crusade against the race. Now it is plain to be seen that the south means the subordination of the Afro-American, and but for this purpose there would be an utter absence of all feeling and strife against him. Indeed, if the south intends to deal fairly with our people who reside among them, then there can be no longer any ground for contention. But the combat deepens, the fight is on, and so long as the constitution is assailed and the rights of free citizens are ignored, Americans cannot hope to escape the rancor and discontent which infest our land. MR. BEAVER'S LIST. It Was Too Long to Meet the Law's Requirements. Promotions of 3,000 Postoffice Clerks Are Cancelled—Latest Developments in the Postoffice Investigation—Is Not Yet Finished.

Washington, May 21.—The year book of the department of agriculture, which will be published soon, will contain the official report of Dr. Salmon, of the bureau of animal industry, on the epidemic of foot and mouth disease which appeared in the New England states last autumn and winter. Dr. Salmon says that 4,175 cattle were affected and that 3,543 were slaughtered to prevent further spread of the contagion. The total compensation paid the owners of the cattle killed was $120,007.

Contrasted With "Lou" Hadley, of the Same City—Indianapolis—Booker's Champlon Fearfully "Roasted." From the amount of money the southern Negro haters have raised for Louise Hadley, after a long and hard effort, it would seem that southern sympathy was not valuable—hardly worth seeking if one is a worthless, penniless tramp—after all. But this Indianapolis white girl's notion of discriminating against Booker T. Washington because he is colored is precisely like that of "the Hon. George L. Knox, proprietor of the Freeman, who runs "illy white" barber shops there, and would not serve Booker T. Washington in one of them because he is colored. Now, don't a lot of our little fish jump in and curse and swear at this poor ignorant, prejudiced Irish white girl who does not belong to the race and does not profess to love it, while you crawl around on your callus bellies before "the Hon. George L. Knox," who belongs to the race, runs "a race paper" and labors annually to be understood as "a leader" of the race, and call him blessed. If you can remain silent while "the Hon. George L. Knox," Mr. Washington's champion and chief admirer, refuses to serve any Negro—Booker T. or any one else—because the Negro is a Negro, you should not be very liberal with your abuse of this white girl whom perhaps southern race prejudice has deprived and unchristianized. The Conservator's object is not that of abuse, as some weaklings pretend to believe, but to convert and save Bro. Knox to his own race. We want to get him where he will love and respect his own race as much as he now fears and cringes from white people. That's all.—Chicago Conservator. Great Success of a Baptist Church. New York City.—Mount Olivet Baptist church, in West Fifty-third street, the largest Afro-American church of that denomination in the north, celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary May 3. Morning and afternoon services were held in the church and an evening service in Carnegie hall. Twenty years ago the church had a membership of 20. The present congregation numbers more than 2,000. John D. Rockefeller gave $1,000 last year on condition that the congregation raise $1,500. They collected $11,000 last year. This year Mr. Rockefeller agreed to give a second $1,000 if the church would raise $2,000. The collections at the three services amounted to $2,500. Every seat in Carnegie hall was occupied in the evening. Several boxes were reserved for guests, and the rest were bought by the members of the congregation. The pastor, Rev. C. T. Walker, who preached on the "Progress of the Race," was chaplain in an Afro-American regiment during the Spanish-American war and was stationed in the south prior to that. Rah! for Conway. New York City.—The Manhattan Liberal club discussed the Negro question last night and Moncur D. Conway declared that the white people of the world are only a reflex leprosy, and that the normal and only natural color of human beings is brown and black. Conway made it plain that to his mind in the equality of races the blacks have the best of it. Other radical statements were made at the meeting, and there was some excitement. Horace C. Stanslaw, a young man from Alabama, was hissed off the platform because he read the sentiment of Abraham Lincoln on the Negro question expressed in his famous debate with Stephen A. Douglass. Conway got up and denounced Lincoln. Two hundred persons cheered him to the echo, and only one man in the audience made any attempt to refute the utterance creditable to the audience.

It Was Too Long to Meet the Law's Requirements. Promotions of 3,000 Postoffice Clerks Are Cancelled-Latest Developments in the Postoffice Investigation-Is Not Yet Finished. Washington, May 21. The cancellation of the promotions of over 3,000 postoffice clerks throughout the country recently authorized by the department and a formal notice to ex-First Assistant Perry S. Heath of the charges made against him by ex-Cashier Tulloch, of the Washington city postoffice, constituted yesterday's developments in the postoffice investigation. First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne late in the afternoon reported to Postmaster General Payne that the tabulation of the clerks in each grade in postoffices of the first class had been completed. This work was undertaken in accordance with the order made by the postmaster general to rearrange the salaries of the clerks already classified so that the number in the several grades shall not exceed the number specifically prescribed in the act of congress making appropriations for the postal service. The former classification was made by George W. Beavers just prior to his sudden resignation as chief of the division of salaries and allowances. The new schedule approved by the postmaster general, after transferring 5 per cent. from grades where there are vacancies, as authorized by a recent decision of the comptroller of the treasury, makes it necessary to cancel 3,046 promotions in the several grades in which they are in excess above the number to which grades are limited by law, and in which grades 7,412 promotions have been authorized heretofore. The report says: "It will not be necessary in any case to reduce any clerk, but simply to cancel 3,046 out of 7,412 promotions heretofore authorized to take effect July 1. We will proceed at once to ascertain exactly the number of promotions in each grade it will be necessary to cancel at each postoffice and then we will inform the postmasters and allow them to select the ingresses which must be cancelled." The excesses in grades are divided among eight grades, as follows: 258 excess in the $700 grade, 852 in the $900 grade, 936 in the $1,000 grade, 451 in the $1,100, 231 in the $1,200, 220 in the $1,300, 82 in the $1,400 and 16 in the $1,500 grade. LIABILITIES ARE LARGE. A Big Fruit Firm Goes Into the Hands of a Receiver. Chicago, May 21.—Bankruptcy proceedings against the Porter Bros. Co., one of the largest fruit commission houses in the country, were begun secretly in the United States district court on Tuesday and it was not until Wednesday that it became known that receivers had taken charge of the company's affairs. John McLaren, former vice president of the Union national bank, and Henry L. Wilson a lawyer, were directed by Judge Kohlsaat to take charge of the assets of the corporation. This was done on application of several creditors, who alleged that the concern was insolvent and that its officers had made preferential payments. San Francisco, May 21.—The commercial community here was startled Wednesday by the information received from Chicago that the Porter Bros. Co., which handles a great part of the fruit crop of the state, had been placed in the hands of a receiver. This unexpected action was taken by the United States district court for the northern district of Illinois, and, according to the news given out in this city, was forced by the demands of bankers on the firm at a time when a good part of its funds are in the hands of fruit growers. LOSS ABOUT $400,000. Several Factories and 250 Houses Are Burned at St. Hyacinth, Que. St. Hyacinth, the Que., May 21.—A fire Wednesday in the shoe factory of Cote Bros, destroyed that and half a dozen other industries and 250 houses, leaving nearly a quarter of the city's population homeless. The loss is placed at $400,000. Nobody knows how the fire started. When it was first noticed it had secured a firm grip upon the Cote factory. The wind was blowing half a gale at the time and the buildings in the immediate vicinity were of such a character as to fall easy prey to the flames. The burned district is practically the same as that destroyed in 1876. The river Yamaska flows through the town in the shape of a letter "V." St. Antoine street runs along the top of this "V" and practically everything south of that street was burned. Besides Cote Bros.' shoe factory the industrial establishments burned include Hudon & Allard, machinists; the Duplessis Pegging and Sewing Machine Co., Lussier Bros., J. Girourd, J. Matthew & Co. The Frontenac, Union and Ottawa hotels were also burned. Destructive Thunderbolts: Philadelphia, May 21.—Lightning last night started two fires, causing a total loss of $75,000. One bolt of lightning struck one of the group of buildings of the George W. Blabon Co., manufacturers of oilcloths, in the southern section of the city. The loss on building and contents is $50,000. The residence of Norman Ellison, at Merion, a suburb of this city, was struck by lightning during the same storm. The structure, which was a handsome one, was entirely destroyed. The flames spread to the residence of H. C. Thompson, doing considerable damage. Killed Her Babes and Suicided. Killed Her Babes and Suicided. Allentown, Pa., May 21.—After playing with her two youngest children, Edna, aged 3 years, and Roy, aged 1 year, yesterday, Mrs. Elvin Bachman, of Slatington, near here, killed the babes by cutting their throats and then committed suicide by slashing her own throat. Preacher Burned to Death. Richmond, Mich., May 21.—Rev.

MONEY WELL SPENT. Government Paid $120,000 to Owners of Cattle Slaughtered Because They Had Foot and Mouth Disease. Washington, May 21.—The year book of the department of agriculture, which will be published soon, will contain the official report of Dr. Salmon, of the bureau of animal industry, on the epidemic of foot and mouth disease which appeared in the New England states last autumn and winter. Dr. Salmon says that 4,175 cattle were affected and that 3,543 were slaughtered to prevent further spread of the contagion. The total compensation paid the owners of the cattle killed was $120,007. He says that the outbreak was very virulent, adding: "The disease spread with extreme facility and affected all the cattle of the infected herds within a very few days, while the fever was very high, the loss of flesh extreme and the after results very untavorable." Dr. Salmon says that the communication of the disease to persons using the milk of animals affected has been frequently reported and "that a few cases of this kind were reported during the Massachusetts outbreak. They were not investigated, however, and it is not positively known that the disease affecting the people was identical with that of the cattle. In this outbreak the sale of milk was stopped as soon as the disease was found upon a place, and for that reason there was not the opportunity for infection of mankind which exists when an outbreak is more extended." A New Publication: The Loyal Legion of Labor Educator, of Akron, is the name of an interesting new monthly publication, the official organ of the order. Encouraging progress has been made by the organization. Prof. Z. W. Mitchell, who is at the head of it, is editor and manager of the Educator. The future of the journal, judging by its first appearance this month, is very bright. It contains excellent newspaper excerpts and other items and articles of special interest to the race, and is illustrated. A Banker Attempts Suicide. New York, May 21.—Washington Seligman, banker and broker, was found in his room at the Rossmore hotel last night with a deep gash in his throat. He was taken to Roosevelt hospital a prisoner, charged with attempted suicide. CLAIRVOYANT. MRS.

More Than 2,000 Machinists in St. Louis Cese Work. St. Louis, May 21.—More than 2,000 machinists and members of kindred unions, including metal polishers, brass workers and laborers, employed in about 175 shops in St. Louis, all members of the St. Louis Metal trades association, which is allied to the International Association of Machinists, went on strike yesterday. The machinists demand an increase of 10 per cent. in wages, while the brass workers ask for 16 2-3 per cent. increase. Negotiations have been in progress for six weeks between the employers and the unions. A 6 per cent. increase was offered to the unions, but this was refused and the demand for 10 per cent. was maintained. Efforts to arbitrate the disagreement failed and the strike resulted. Should the strike prove as far reaching and effective as union officials assert it will, and if it shall continue for any considerable length of time, every mechanical trade in St. Louis may become involved.

Windom, the former minstrel, manager of the Thompson Music Company, of Chicago, is the father of a little octoroon. M. Gives the names of dead and living friends, tells who and when you will marry, also of business, journeys, lawsuits, absent friends, health or anything you wish to know, no matter what it is. He asks no questions, don't ask you to write the letter for him. Don't try to pump in any way, you won't right out. He is thoroughly endorsed by leading Spiritualists everywhere; received from them a gold medal and special license to practice his wonderful powers; credentials no one can show; can give thousands of references to both white and colored patrons. Twenty-five years' practice—seven in Brooklyn—will show you that he can do all he tells of. Can tell you what business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to speed up training with any your love. How to be successful in any your doings, in short what is best to do. He succeeds when all others fail. Positive help and satisfaction or no pay. Call and see. You will find it lucky to consult this refined Christian gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients, not knowing it. Thousands through him are now RICH, HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL in all their undertakings while those who neglect his advice are still suffering agonies by way of injury. Through his perfect knowledge of chemistry he can impart to you a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. His aid and advice have often been solicited, the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriage and all your wishes. In love affairs he never fails. He has the secrethose winning the affections of the opposite sex. It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there are a class of men and women who claim powers they do not possess. They have neither gifts, credentials, nor references. Surely the colored people are not so wanting in sense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR. SHEA refers to the Hon. Charles Miller, capitalist, 2481 Atlantic avenue, Hon. Robert F. Kennedy, officer and builder, 47 Cleveland avenue, and Arthur Sewell, ship builder, South Brooklyn. All have known him for the past seven years. He gives a free test of his power to all. He understands thoroughly the diseases, spells or influences the race is subject to. He is now and always has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: "BROOKLYN, June 3, 1892. This is to certify I came to New York from Albany. I was a stranger in a strange city, out of work and out of money. I had no luck in anything I undertook. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see DR. SHEA. I did; he told me the cause of all my trouble; he took me in and treated me like brother. Through him I got a good position that very week. I had been to others; they took my money and did me no good. I bless the day I first met DR. SHEA. I would advise all in bad luck, sick or in trouble, to go to him at once. Sincerely, ALBERT AYERS, 2037 Atlantic avenue." "SOUTH PLANFIELD, Aug. 15, 1891.—This is to certify that my husband had gone away and been absent two years. I mourned for him, night and day. I gave him up as dead. Hearing of the wonderful things DR. SHEA was doing, I resolved to consult him. He told me my husband was alive and well and where he was; he told me he would come home and when. To my joy all of it came true. He is home now, come back like one from the dead. I also wish to say that this month I lost the sum of $250. I am a poor woman and I need money. I went to SHEA and he told me I would give my money and to my intense joy I found it he told me. I thank God there is a man in our midst that can help people and tell them what to do. Sincerely, MRS. MARY MILLER, South Plainfield, N. J." A Sensation in Brooklyn-A Minister's Statement. "I wish to state that one of my parishoners was sick and in trouble for a long time, Mrs. Brown, 37 Gay street. No one seemed to understand her case. She had several doctors, but none of them seemed to know what was the matter. None could do her any good. It was my duty as her pastor to call and see her. Hearing of the wonderful work being done by DR. SHEA, the last few years, I thought I would call to see him myself. I found him a kind, sympathetic gentleman. He gave me a wonderful test of his powers; told me to send him a lock of patient's hair, which I did by her daughter. He old me a once what was a letter, and in a short time cured his sound and well. Her family had seemingly been under a cloud. Now, all is changed. All are well and prosperous. I truly and heartily recommend DR. SHEA to all those in sickness or distress of any kind. REV. WILLIAM JOHNSON, Pastor of Lebanon Church, Brooklyn." DR. ELLAKSON, DR. SHEA'S SUCCESSOR, AND SPIRIT MEDIUM, CAN SHOW THOUSANDS SUCH AS THE ABOVE.

An agent of the ex-Slave Pension association is in the city and wants to lecture in some of our local churches, and ought not to be per- mitted to do so.

The Gazette desires to call the attention of its readers, particularly, to the advertisement elsewhere in this paper of The Dreher's Sons Company, one of the oldest firms in the city, and a piano headquarters known the country over as one of the most reliable and best. You can get just what you want at Dreher's as reasonable as at any other house in the city and know that you have the best the money paid can get you. They have pianos of all kinds (makes) and at almost any figure you desire to pay for an instrument. They welcome you to the store in such a manner as to thoroughly please you, and continue to treat you in the same way, whether or not you make a purchase. Call on them and see. Hon. Jere A. Brown, it is said, is bitterly opposed to the selection of Henry Eubanks by the Hanna people as the Afro-American candidate for the legislature to be nominated at the approaching county republican convention. If the rumor is true, Jere is right, for reasons too numerous to mention. The intelligent, race-loving Afro-American of this community will not support, even if nominated, individuals like Eubanks, Marshall, Myers, Clifford, Willie Green and others of "The Little Black Tammany" who bolted the race candidate for the legislature on the republican ticket in 1899. Some of them were too industrious in their circulation of the flag lie circular that year, and others also bolted the race candidate nominated in 1895. We here and now serve notice on Messrs. Hanna, Chandler, Dewstoe and Leach that the nomination of any of the gang mentioned will mean another fight to the finish led by the editor of this paper, that will make the successful onslaught on the Marshall nomination of last spring seem but a dream. When they bolted the ticket in the year or years mentioned, they forfeited all claim to recognition at the hands of republicans in general and particularly Afro-American republicans of this community. If a member of the race is placed on the republican ticket by the next republican county convention, he should be a man of intelligence, well known ability and integrity, who is in close touch with his people. We want no more Cliffords as representatives(?) of our people of this community at Columbus. J. E. Reed is decidedly preferable to any of the gang referred to. Death of Mrs. Z. B. Livermore. Mansfield.—Mrs. Zora Reed Livermore died at her home in Allegheny, Pa., on May 15. She was a member of Brown's chapel. Rev. J. W. Gazaway officiated. She was brought here and services were held at the A. M. E. church Sunday afternoon, Rev. J. W. Lewis officiating. The deceased leaves a husband, two daughters, two sons, four brothers and two sisters to mourn her loss.—Mrs. Lewis, of Middletown, is here.—Mrs. A. B. Poindexter is ill. Major Taylor, the bicyclist, is still riding in excellent form in Australia. Recently he won the Sir E. T. Smith stakes at Adelaide, Australia, for which he was decorated with the blue ribbon by Lady Smith. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1903. Milledgeville, Ga.—Maj. A. M. Marchant, of the Georgia Military academy, has been forced to resign because he punished cadets who refused to march behind an Afro-American drum corps in a parade. Three cadets were expelled and others suspended. Prejudiced patrons of the school wrote to the faculty that they would withdraw their sons unissed the expelled cadets were reinstated. Congressman-elect Hardwick, a bitter enemy of the race, signed the petition sustaining the cadets who drew the color line. Maj. Mrachant then resigned. Marchant is the second Georgia professor to lose his place because of a manly stand on the color question. Prof. Sledd was forced out of the Latin chair in Emory college on account of an article in the Atlantic, very properly criticising the southern whites for their inhuman treatment of the Afro-Americans. K. of P. Grand Lodge Meet. Xenia, O.—The grand lodge will convene its 15th session of the K. of P.'s of Ohio June 16, 17, 18, in Ivanhoe hall, corner of Detroit and Second streets. The C.

Editor Gazette, Dear Sir.—Kindly allow me through the columns of your valuable paper to correct a base FABRICATION that is being rumored in Cleveland, O., to the effect that I, A. H. Evans, now of Pasadena, had left my wife, Bettie Evans, and gone off to live with one Mrs. Cooper. I wish to denounce this rumor as being the work of a malicious and envious person, whoever the author may be, and WITHOUT FOUNDATION. I am at home at No. 132 Dayton street, Pasadena, Cal. A. H. EVANS AND WIFE (Bettie Evans). Jim Crow Car Sentence. New Orleans, La.—H. H.

When the plant is withered, sickly, droop- ing, and dying, we give it water ere it die. Just so should we apply GLOSSINE to the harsh, unsightly 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, bismuth, and other mineral poisons, but from vegetable and botanical products only, which can work no better to the human hair, and the desire for quick health have tempted many people, ignorant both as to pharmacy and chemistry, to sell to the people called hair tonics, which account of their low price) contain mineral poisons, the immediate effect of which cause the hair to grow quickly, but whose certain end is falling hair and a bald head.

A Beautiful Young Society Woman's Letter. ST. PAUL, MINN. } 521 Wabasha St. } Dr. Hartman, Columbus, O., Dear Sir: "I took Peruna last summer when I was all run down, and had a headache and backache, and no ambition for anything. I now feel as well as I ever did in all my life, and all thanks is due to your excellent Peruna."—Bess F. Healy. The symptoms of summer catarrh are quite unlike in different cases, but the most common ones are general lassitude, played-out, tired-out, used-up, run-down feelings, combined with more or less heavy, stupid, listless, mental condition. Relish for food and the ability to digest food seems to be lost. Skin eruptions, sallow complexion, biliousness, coated tongue, fitful, irregular sleep, help to complete the picture which is so common at this season. Peruna so exactly meets all these conditions that the demand is so great for this remedy at this season of the year that it is nearly impossible to supply it. If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. THE INTELLIGENT JUROR. One Who Had to Inquire the Meaning of "Plaintiff" and "De- fendant." It is a common and natural practice of lawyers in addressing a jury to single out one member who seems to them the most intelligent, and to deliver their appeals to him. They usually feel that if they can impress him, his influence will be valuable in its effect upon the other members. If they make a mistake they rarely discover it, says the New York Sun. But the stenographer of one division of the supreme court tells an incident of a mistake that was found out. All the testimony in a case had been taken, the lawyers for both sides had summed up, and the judge had charged the jury, when up rose the intelligent juror whom both counsel had singled out as the recipient of their impassioned appeals. He wanted the court to give him some information. "I have been bothered a good deal," said the juror, "about two words the lawyers use here all the time." "What are they?" asked the court, expecting to be called upon to expound res inter alios acta or a fortiori, or some other dead terms. "Why, 'plaintiff' and 'defendant,'" said the juror. "I don't just know what they mean." Birth of a Great Americann Railroad. May 17, 1903, marked the Fiftieth Anniversary of the incorporation of the New York Central Railroad; a fact interesting in the history of the State of New York, for the consolidation of the ten separate small roads into one line, that formed a continuous route from Albany on the east to Buffalo on the west, was the beginning that made possible the enormous industrial and commercial development in the country, contiguous to it. Articles of agreement were filed May 17, 1853, the first Board of Directors was elected July 6th, and the whole line delivered to the new company August 1st, 1853; insuring better service, more complete connections between all points, and a more general stimulus to development than was possible under separate and rival corporations. This also opened the way for the consolidation of the New York Central Company with the Hudson River Railroad in 1869, which event presaged that era of wonderful progress in the undeveloped west, for it created a direct line from the ocean to the inland seas, known as the great lakes, and brought distant territories into close connection with the seaboard. It is a picturesque fact that this line traverses the one break in the whole Appalachian chain between the Gulf of Mexico and the St. Lawrence River, and it would seem as if Nature meant this to be a roadway for travel. Certainly the Indian found it so, for the Mohawk trail, the pathway of the confederated Iroquois tribes, is almost identical with the New York Central Railroad of to-day. This trail was also the pathway of war during the French and Indian and the Revolutionary Wars, and later, in its offering of easy travel, it lured the pioneers of the West to the Mohawk Valley, which is so rich to-day with the product of agricultural industry, on to the broad and fallow fields of the Genesee, to build up and develop the traffic of the west upon the great lakes. It is a far cry indeed from that primitive little line of the New York Central of fifty years ago to the great Railroad of to-day with its Twentieth Century limited, speeding like the wind, carrying its passengers on luxurious palace cars, over smooth roadbeds, with a scarcely perceptible jar, and fifty years of progress could not find a better illustration than is related in an interesting letter of reminiscences written by Mr. Joshua Wilber, of Lockport, New York, describing railroad travel in New York in 1839. The writer says: "We took the cars on State Street in Albany; these cars were drawn to the city line by horses, for locomotives were not then allowed in the city. The cars were of the ancient pattern, entered by doors on the side, with seats across the car, the passengers facing each other, as in the old-fashioned stage coaches. "The speed was tremendous—about twelve miles an hour. Arrived on the ridge opposite Schenectady, our cars were let down an inline plane, secured to a large rope cable, the other end being attached to flat cars weighted with stone, which were drawn up on a parallel track as we went down. At Schenectady we changed cars and traveled west to Utica, reaching there in the afternoon. That was then the end of railroad travel. "A canal packet was boarded which landed us in Syracuse next morning. There another packet was taken for Rochester, which we reached early the following day. A third packet brought us from Rochester to Lockport in sixteen hours. "The time consumed in coming from New York City to Lockport was nearly four days, being on the move all the time, except the night spent at Albany. "Not long after the roads built from Albany westward, and from Buffalo eastward met, and a continuous line was formed, but with many changes of cars and other inconveniences. "Then the Hudson River road was opened, and Buffalo and New York became neighbors." Mrs. Clubman—"Will you be home early, Jack?" Mr. Clubman—"We-eil, yes; but don't wait breakfast for me."—Brooklyn Life THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1903. 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. All public assemblages in the province of Saratoff, Russia, have been prohibited under pain of heavy penalties. A proclamation of the governor has been posted in all the towns and villages and has been published in all the newspapers, forbidding all public gatherings. At Mt. Vernon, N. Y., the Italian laborers at work on the Union electric railway have won a victory, the demands which led to their striking several days ago having been conceded by the firm. The strikers also demanded an eight-hour day at the same pay they had received for ten hours, $1.50, and this was granted. Other contractors will also now concede the demands of their men. Four persons were severely injured, one probably fatally, and 20 others were slightly hurt when an electric car collided with a beer wagon at Chicago. Recruiting in the navy has been suspended for the present owing to the prevalence of contagious diseases at various training stations and aboard receiving ships on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey has declared a dividend for the quarter of $7 per share. For the corresponding quarter of last year the dividend declared was $10 per share. At El Paso, Tex., all the switchmen in the El Paso & Southwestern railroad yards are out on strike because the night men were discharged for demanding extra help. Efforts are being made by independent river coal operators of Pittsburg and Cincinnati to form a combination similar to the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Co., with a capital of $16,000,000. Reports from Florida indicate that the recent heavy rain and storm did much damage to growing crops, early vegetables and fruit. Sawmill men especially sustained damage and many mills are closed. Judge Redwine has called a special term of court at Jackson, Ky., for May 25, for the purpose of impaneling a jury to investigate the assassination of Cox, Cockrell and Marcum in connection with the recent feud troubles in Breathitt county. Burglars entered the private office of J. W. Johnson, ticket agent at the Union passenger station in Birmingham, Ala., and took $7,000 from the safe. Three or four watchmen were in the station at the time and several men were sitting in the waiting room into which the ticket office opened. Sybil Sanderson, the well-known American opera singer, died suddenly at Paris, of pneumonia following an attack of the grip. The majority of the persons arrested for participation in the anti-Semitic outrages at Kisheneff, Bessarabia, have been tried and sentenced to varying punishments. Eight persons were injured by an explosion of gasoline on the auxiliary yacht Vagabond, anchored in the Hudson river. At Halifax, N. S., fire destroyed Gordon & Keith's big furniture factory, together with 40,000 feet of lumber and several wooden buildings. Loss $175,000. Mrs. Huck Stewart was assaulted and killed in her home near the Big Four railroad not far from New Castle, Ind. The room showed evidences of a terrible struggle. Gen. O. O. Howard, founder of the Lincoln memorial school at Cumberland Gap, and other institutions, is riding alone through the mountains of eastern Kentucky to investigate conditions with a view to ending feuds. A strike of butchers' clerks to enforce their demands for a ten-hour day has begun at Chicago. About 500 men are affected. A strike has been inaugurated in the Bible printing establishment of the National Publishing Co. at Philadelphia. Sixty-five members of the Bookbinders' union struck because of the refusal of the company to pay the union scale of $12 and upwards weekly, according to the branch of trade. More than 80 girls employed in the bindery are idle as a result of the bookbinders' strike. The police authorities of Southport, Conn., are searching for Oliver Sherwood, cashier of the Southport national bank, who is missing. It is alleged by the bank authorities that Sherwood's accounts are short between $50,000 and $80,000. The members of the Patternmakers' Association of North America in Pittsburg went on strike for an advance of from $3.78 to $4.00 per day and a nine-hour day. Sixteen firms have signed the scale. The directors of the Calumet and Heela Mining Co. have declared a dividend of $10 per share. This dividend is the fourth of the fiscal year and makes an aggregate of $25. Bishop Thomas Starkey, of the Episcopal diocese of Newark, N. J., died at his home in East Orange, N. J., from old age. Though he was 84 years old, Bishop Starkey's faculties seemed to be as clear as when he first became an Episcopal minister, May 31, 1848. Surgeon Banks, of the marine hospital service, has made a re-relative to the prevalence of pneumonia in Chicago. He says that the disease has reached almost epidemic proportions. Of the 5,341 deaths from all causes in the city in two months, Dr. Banks says that 1,186, or 22 per cent., were caused by pneumonia. University of Michigan took first place in the intercollegiate strength contest. Columbia is second and Harvard is third. The Minnesotans also won the western basket ball championship and the western intercollegiate gymnastic championship. Maj. Gen. Davis, commanding the Philippines,has issued an order directing commanding officers to carry out an act of the Philippine commission prohibiting the sale or traffic in intoxicating liquors, beer or wine at any place or on any premises situated within a distance of two miles of land now used or hereafter to be used by the United States for military purposes. A hurricane devastated Santa Maria, Luzon. Earthquake shocks were felt and during the storm the great stone barracks collapsed, killing one and injuring seven native scouts. The striking butchers' clerks at Chicago have returned to work, their demand for early closing of markets having been granted by all but a few of the shops. At Milwaukee, Wis., fire destroyed Jacobs' copper shop, the plants of the Milwaukee Commutator Co., the Milwaukee automobile works and the Milwaukee Brass Co. The Marine hotel was badly scorched. Fifteen families were compelled to desert their homes on account of the intense heat of the flames. The total loss is about $125,000. Police Sergeant Philip Miller was shot down and probably fatally wounded on the street in Chicago by three men who had held up Alderman Peter A. Wendling half an hour before. A tornado at Horton, Kan., demolished several buildings and unroofed the Union hotel. Two people were slightly hurt. Every union iron molder in St. Paul, Minn., is on strike. The trouble was caused by the refusal of the foundrymen to concede a modification of the time schedule and wage rate now in force. Nearly 300 men are involved in the strike. The report that Lieut. Gen. Raaben, governor of Kisheneff, Bessarabia, where the masacre of Jews occurred a month ago, had been dismissed by the czar is confirmed. The imperial ukase dismissing the general is dated May 17. News comes from Campus, W. Va., that a log house in which lumbermen were quartered was burned, two men being cremated and five badly injured, some probably fatally. The fire imprisoned the men, who could be seen vainly trying to make their escape. A tornado accompanied by a heavy hail storm did considerable damage at Merrill, Ia. A grain elevator was twisted from its foundation, while the hail demolished windows, beat down vegetable crops and did $2,000 damage to a greenhouse. Great Britain has decided to accord China the same terms in the settlement of the Boxer indemnity as those accepted by the United States. The state department has been informed that the English charge at Peking has signified the willingness of his government to accept payment on a silver basis for a term of years. Reports received in La Crosse, Wis., from surrounding towns and villages are to the effect that inestimable damage has been done to farm lands by a big rise in the Mississippi and its tributaries. Thousands of acres of farm lands are flooded and crops will have to be repulanted. W. W. Montgomery, charged with bigamy in Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma and who escaped from the county jail at Guthrie, Okla., after killing Jailer Emerson, was captured at Guthrie underneath the residence of Mrs. Kate Wyeth, who, it is alleged, became infatuated with the prisoner, gave him a revolver and assisted him to escape. Montgomery is badly wounded, having been shot through the left lung by the jailor's wife. The forest fires that have caused great damage in New England have been checked. Not in years has the northern part of New Hampshire and Vermont been so thoroughly fire-swept. Thousands of acres have been burned over and the loss will aggregate several hundred thousand dollars. At Dresden, Saxony, a fortune teller named Minna Pauder has been sentenced to eight years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $375 for illegal practices. Her customers were for the most part women who came to her for advice with regard to their love affairs. At Bairdstown, Pa., Albert Palmer, a recently discharged convict from the penitentiary, shot and killed Mollie Beck, with whom he has been keeping company. He then tried to kill the girl's mother, but the bullet missed its mark, after which he shot himself through the heart. The cause of the tragedy was jealousy At Springfield, Ill., James Duffy, who fired a gun at a Mobile & Ohio train crew, was sentenced to five months' imprisonment. The charge was contempt of an injunction given by the federal court restraining strikers from interfering with the operation of the railroad. According to prominent Jews of New York City there are fully 5,000 paid spies of the Russian government in the United States. It is said everything having the least interest to the Russian government that is said or done in the United States is transmitted as rapidly as possible by this army of spies. Fire loss on the sawmill and stock of the Dollar Bay Land Improvement Co. at Dollar Bay, Mich., will probably exceed $250,000, partly covered by insurance. Incendiarism is suspected. At Philadelphia the armory of the First regiment, N. G. P., was damaged by fire to the extent of $75,000. Nearly all the rifles and uniforms of the organization were destroyed. After being tracked across the continent, Julius A. Jorgensen, absconding cashier of the Copenhagen Savings bank, of Denmark, and his companion, Miss Moeller, who was a bookkeeper in the same institution, have been arrested at Oakland, Cal., on a warrant charging them with embezzlement of $8,000 from the Copenhagen bank. The man is also accused of having deserted his wife and eloping with the woman in whose company he was when arrested. A mob entered Madison, Fla., secured the keys to the jail from the night watchman, took out Washington Jarvis, a white man, and lynched him. Jarvis was carried some distance from the city, tied to a tree and shot to death. He was accused of murdering his cousin, John Waldron. In answer to her suggestion that a claim for compensation be lodged against Turkey in the amount of the ransom paid for her release by the brigands, Miss Ellen Stone has been requested to supply the department of state with the necessary information upon which to frame a formal application. The controller of the currency has received a telegram from the national bank examiner in charge of the Southport (Conn.) national bank, which was closed, which indicates that the defalcation of the former cashier is about $150,000, instead of $100,000, as at first reported. Montana City, Mont, at one time ne of the most famous placer camps in Montana, was totally destroyed by fire recently. Once a city of 4,000 people, with a daily paper, first class hotels and fine streets, the camp had sunk until for the past decade it had been entirely abandoned. It is thought the fire was the work of tramps. HIS WIFE'S FAULT. He Contracted Rheumatism from the Dampness Caused by Her They were speaking of the pessimistic member, relates the New York Times, "He never looks on the bright side," said one. "No," added another. "Moreover, if there's any way for him to shift the blame for his misfortunes on others, rest assured he'll do it." "Quite so," concluded a third. "Why, the other day they told me of his wife's devoted nursing of him during his recent attack of rheumatism. In spite of his faultfinding, his spouse did everything she could to alleviate his pain. Often his sufferings would cause the poor thing to burst into tears as she sat by his bedside. Well, one day a friend dropped in to see how the invalid was getting on. "Badly, badly, wailed the pessimistic one. 'And, do you know, it's all my wife's fault.' "Impossible!" gasped the friend in surprise. 'Quite true, I assure you,' murmured the sick man. 'It is this way. Damp places are bad for me; yet there that woman sits and cries just to make the air moist.' An Old Lady's Discovery. Garnett, Ark., May 18th—For 18 years Mrs. Mary Dunlop of this place has suffered with Kidney trouble, which was so bad at times that it made her life a burden. She tried much medicine and many treatments, but got no better. At last, however, Mrs. Dunlop claims to have found a perfect remedy, and she is so pleased at the wonderful cure she herself has received, that she is telling all her friends and praising the medicine to everyone she meets. The name of this medicine is Dodd's Kidney Pills, and it has done wonderful work for Mrs. Dunlop. Everybody is talking about it, and some people are claiming to have been cured of Rheumatism by it. A Mrs. Garrett who lives in Brazils, this state, was at the point of death with some Cerebro-Spinal trouble, and was saved by Dodd's Kidney Pills. It is certain that no other medicine ever introduced here has done so much good in such a short time. A Still Hunt—Nervous Wife—"I hear a burglar." Nervous Husband—"Woo!

I cannot say enough for what your medicine did for me." CHICAGO, ILL. — When I received the sample of Doan's Kidney Pills I was suffering terribly with my back, was sick and unfit to do anything. The several remedies I had used, though highly recommended, did no good, but rather irritated the trouble and made me worse. Before I had used up the sample I was feeling so much better that I got more from the drug store. I could not sleep at night. Had to get up six or eight times, and the urine was so red, would almost think it was part blood — there was atkick sand, like brick-dust sediment. I cannot tell one-half that I suffered, nor how good I feel now that I am cured by Doan's Kidney Pills; but here I am, sixty-six years old, able to do my own work, feeling well as I did twenty years ago, for which I thank Doan's Kidney Pills ten thousand times. — Mrs. E.
