Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class matter. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, MAY 30, 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. That Paul Dunbar-Mayor Sam Jones story sent out from Toledo on May 18 to the daily newspapers of the country by the Associated Press is the veriest rot. No truth in it. It is now going the rounds of the race press. President Frank Venable, of the University of South Carolina, and Rev. Dr. Chas. Parkhurst, of New York City, are making the great majority of the reading public of the north very tired with their silly twaddle justifying(?) disfranchisement. Both ought to go away back in any old place and keep quiet. It seems to us that something ought to be said or done, and quickly too, to show our appreciation of the manly position on the so-called "race" question taken and maintained at such a great sacrifice by Prof. Sledd and Maj. Marchant, ex-members of the faculties of two Georgia colleges—MEN who lost their positions because they were right and outspoken on the paramount question to us. Bishop Hamilton (white), of the Methodist church, whose home is in San Francisco, in an interview sent out from the south on May 19, calls attention to the fact that the "social equality" of "chivalrous white gentlemen of the south" and "loose" colored women of that section resulted in the birth of 30,000 mulattoes last year. Occasionally this same "social equality" in the south is participated in by Afro-Americans and white women with similar results, though the bishop neglected to state the fact. "However," said the bishop. "I would suggest that unless the laws prohibiting intermarriage are repealed some step ought to be taken to provide for the care of 30,0000 illegitimate mulattoes which are born annually in that part of the country." Right you are, good bishop. "Hit 'em again." Editor A. N. Johnson, of the Mobile (Ala.) Weekly Press, assures us that the "color-line" was not drawn in the seating of the delegates to the recent state (Ala.) republican conference and that the idea of keeping the Afro-American delegates together for certain aggressive voting purposes, was his, and a success, as dispatches to the daily papers of a recent date announcing the complete routing of Alabama "lily-white" republicans, attest. There were about 100 Afro-American republican delegates in the conference and for offensive and defensive purposes it was good policy to keep them together. The results prove it. Brother Johnson and all of our members of that conference who stood with him, making so successful a fight, have our sincerest congratulations, and best wishes for greater future success. The "lily-white" republicans of Alabama are a tenacious lot of disfranchisement rascals, and die hard; but will have to die, politically, just the same. President Roosevelt has determined upon such results, and of course will have them, as is his custom. The republican party of the country cannot afford to shelter the "lily-white" mongrels, because they are far worse than "white elephants" on its hands. Ever and anon the political hybrids give a yelp for their godfather, Senator Hanna, whom they want to stand as a candidate for the presidency against Roosevelt. In event of his continued refusal to do so, they say they will call on Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana. The trusts encourage them, as they do anything and everything that is calculated to work up opposition to the president's candidacy. But it will avail nothing in the end, because the great mass of republicans and the people in general, want Roosevelt to serve a second term, and will see to it that he does so, if he lives. Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, of the famous Plymouth church, Brooklyn, preached a sermon Sunday morning week in which he took occasion, and very properly, too, to "take off the hides" of ex-President Cleveland and Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, the great religious editor, for their backdowns to the south in speeches at the recent New York City meeting in the interest of Tuskegee (Ala.) Normal and Industrial school. Booker T. Washington's influence with Cleveland, Abbott, Ogden and may other very prominent northern statesmen, financiers, business and professional men, former good friends of our people, has been most baneful, indeed, from a progressive race standpoint. It has caused the first two named gentlemen to practically reverse their positions on the "race" ques- Gion in less than a year, and has been very hurtful indeed not only to the southern, but also to the northern Afro-American. Dr. Hillis has done the race much good right when it needs it most. More power to him. A WHITE MAN'S EMPIRE We cannot indorse the action of one W. J. Bell in his attempt to establish a colony near Pensacola, Fla., exclusively for white men. Mr. Bell may mean well for the people of the south and his white allies, but should the scheme succeed, it would eventually prove detrimental to every black man in the country. Black men might advocate such a project for themselves, but it would not be right and in the course of many years it could not succeed. They never could enforce their plans. On the contrary, the plans of Mr. Bell can be easily enforced and carried out which after all would be contrary to the fundamental law of the land. Under the federal constitution, Mr. Bell has no authority to establish a white man's colony in America, saying to black men that within its confines they dare not come. White men may own all the land and claim every investment, but even then, it would be wrong to deny to any American citizen the right of free passage. The idea of a white man's government is very generally advanced in the south, and the establishment of a white man's empire in Florida would be one of the worst theories undertaken on this continent. No such a theory anywhere exists in America, and the planting of a colony upon such a basis would be fraught with dire mischief to the government and the country at large. The south is too much inclined already to make such restrictions, and to proscribe the Negro in this manner would at once be held as a right guaranteed by unwritten law. The government, if it would be true to its own obligations, and if it would be just and impartial in its dealings, would see to it that no such a project is carried out under a free republic. Already we have examples of incalculable mischief entailed upon the nation. There has been too much looseness instead of stringency, and individual states have been disposed to defy the government because of that looseness. Let then Mr. Bell set up such a precedent, a thing never known and one which should not be tolerated, and it will be seen that where the law may be defied in one instance, it will be defied in another. Negroes are citizens under the law, but can colored men presume to go forth and establish a black man's colony to the absolute exclusion of white men? Let them dare attempt such a thing contrary to the will of white men and at once blood would flow. Why? Because intelligent white men very well know that under our system of free government the act would be bold and unwarranted and more than any set of citizens should undertake to carry out. We say, then, a thousand times NO! Mr. Bell is making a desperate infringement upon the constitution of the fathers. It is rebellion in any and every sense of the word and he should pause ere he passes this Rubicon, so fatal to the growing sentiment of liberty and justice. It is rebellion because it is a bold attempt to ignore and trample upon the rights of American freemen. The position is untenable, unjust and unAmerican, and it demands the frown and condemnation of every true patriot who entertains one generous desire for the welfare of his country.

Combash has a complimentary invitation to attend.—The Court of Canlanthe, Pride of the East, will hold its regular meetings the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. Hanna Never Did Anything of the Kind. Mr. H. E. Huntington is following very closely the policy of his illustrious uncle by the employment of colored men on his electric railways. Mr. Collis P. Huntington was a staunch friend of the Negroes and ever sought to give them a working chance, and he never had cause to regret any kindness shown them. The number of colored men now employed by Mr. H. E. Huntington is the largest in the history of the city. For this the colored people are grateful and will prove their gratitude by faithful service. We trust that he may see his way clear to promote meritorious colored men to positions of motormen and conductors. Senator Hanna, of Ohio, is doing this successfully in his street railways.—Los Angeles (Cal.) Liberator. You are way wrong in your Hanna statement. Wants Amendments Repealed Wants Amendments Repealed. Atlanta, Ga.—Congressman T. W. Hardwick, of the Tenth district, a prejudiced "crank," has announced that at the next session of congress he will introduce a bill to repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States. It is under these provisions that the Afro-American is allowed to vote, and it was on this platform that Hardwick was elected. He ought to "wake up." THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O., SATURDAY. MAY 30. 1903. Continued from First Page.) Giles in his bill had claimed that the whole scheme of the Alabama election laws was a stupendous fraud upon the constitution, asked the court to declare it so, and order the board to register him as a voter of that state. Strangely enough, the astute judges affected to think he was trying to seduce them into becoming parties to the fraud against which he was asking relief. And they say: "If then we accept the conclusion, which it is the chief purpose of the bill to maintain, how can we make the court a party to the unlawful scheme by accepting it and adding another vote to its fraudulent lists?" This is either a confusion of ideas suggesting obtuseness in men who claim to be judically inerrant, or it is mere pettifogging which would not pass muster before a justice of the peace in poor-cuss township. Because a litigant asks to have a remedy which shall cure the fraud of which he complains, and turn the fraudulent purpose into a rightful act, it is gravely argued by the court to which he brings his plaintiff by advancing the remedy they may become tainted by the very infirmity they are called upon to heal. The suggestion does not rise to the dignity of a quibble. And so the court does not kick Giles out either on the ground that a suit in equity is not a "proper proceeding"—in which case they would have no jurisdiction and would at least leave him without having to confess that they were impotent to afford him redress, nor yet do they discuss his case because to grant his contention would involve them in the fraud of which he complains. On the contrary, they take jurisdiction, and seem to be willing to become parties to the fraudulent conspiracy of the state authorities of Alabama, which they profess to think is the consequence of their relieving against it, and then they go on and propose the third and controlling obstacle in the way of their preventing the disfranchisement of Giles and his race under the forms of law. They conclude to refuse to give him a remedy, although the wrong against which he demands it is flagrant, notorious and confessed on all hands. And they so refuse, because they say they could not enforce it if given. The opinion expresses extreme reluctance on the part of the court to make a decree which it has not the power to execute. It would be, as the opinion says, "a mere declaration in the air." And so, confessedly impotent itself, the court remits Giles and the entire African race in America, for the vindication of their rights, either to a congress which is too busy making money for the trusts to listen to the cry of outraged humanity, or it turns them over to the mercies of the very state which under the forms of law is robbing them of their rights for redress against the selfsame robbery. Which is like sending a man to hell for grace. And lest we do the majority of the court an injustice in this respect, we give the language of the justices. Aside from damages to the individual man, and as to the wrong done to his race and color, the opinion says that "relief from a great political wrong, if done as alleged by the people of the state and the state itself, must be given by them or by the legislative and political department of the government of the United States." The far-reaching consequences of this lame and impotent conclusion cannot be estimated. In substance and effect it gives the slave states a license to annul the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution, and only the 13th—that which prohibits slavery within our borders, alone is left. And what guaranty has the black man of Alabama that his former master will not re-enslave him or his offspring, whenever he can make a profit by it? We cannot pursue this comment further, except to remark that the Negroes of the south as a basis of representation in congress furnish 51 members of the lower house. But the supreme court says that if a state so desires, it can leave the 51 members in full enjoyment of their seats, and at the same time deprive the men from whose numbers alone they derive their title to them of their political rights. And this because the court says it is impotent to afford redress. When capital has called upon the federal courts to protect its interests, they have never skulked behind their alleged want of power to execute their process. On the contrary, as Eugene Debs and many a striker well knows, they have been greedy and eager to enlarge their jurisdiction and to fulminate decrees which, if the subjects of them had been any thing but law-abiding citizens, it would have taken grape-shot to enforce. And the supreme court itself has not always been the self-denying and timid body which it professes itself to be, now that the rights of man are being weighed in its supposedly evenly balanced scales. On March 4, 1857—a few days before the Dred Scott decision was announced, Caleb Cushing, the attorney general of the United States, thus addressed the court: "Yours is not the gauntled hand of the soldier, nor yours the voice which commands armies, rules cabinets, or leads senates; but though you are none of these, you are backed by all of them. Theirs is the external power which sustains your moral authority; you are the incarnate mind of the political body of the nation. In the complex institutions of our country you are the pivot point upon which the rights of all, government and people, alike, turn; or, rather, you are the central light of constitutional wisdom around which they perpetually revolve. Long may this court retain the confidence of our country as the conservators, not of the private peace only, but of the sanctity and integrity of the constitution." This was putting it on rather thickly, but the court did not dissent, and within a week it did not mince words in giving its decision the purpose of which is to nationalize chattel slavery in the United States, just as the effect of the one in the Alabama case is to say that the Alabama black man—because he is a black man and for no other reason, has no political rights which an Alabama white man is bound to respect; or, at least if he has, the supreme court is afraid to make him respect them. Decidedly that court has not progressed in humanity, and certainly not in courage, within the last 45 years. A SYSTEM OF SLAVERY Being Practiced in the South - Alabama Afro-Americans, on Filmsy Charges, Are Convicted and Fined. Washington, D. C.-At the request of the department of justice, the United States secret service has undertaken the work of investigating the charge of peonage, or holding another in servitude to work out a debt, which has been made against persons living in the vicinity of Montgomery, Ala. The punishment provided by the statute for this crime is a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $5,000, or imprisonment of not less than one year nor more than five. One man named Robert N. Franklin has already been indicted for keeping an Afro-American in servitude for at least a year. Information in the hands of Chief Wilkie tends to show that a regular system has been practiced for a long time between certain magistrates and persons who want laborers. It is said that the plan is to bring a poor Afro-American before a magistrate on a flimsy charge. He is convicted, and, having no money to pay a fine, the white man offers to advance the money, provided the Afro-American will make a labor contract for a length of time sufficient to reimburse him for the money and trouble he has taken to keep the Afro-American out of jail. He is thereupon taken away, and begins what is frequently a long term of cruel servitude, being frequently whipped for failure to perform work to the satisfaction of his employer. An agent of the secret service who is now on the ground will make a thorough investigation of the whole alleged system, and turn over to the United States attorney for that district all information he may secure, with a view to the prosecution of offenders. The same condition of affairs exists in many other parts of the south. Another Blind Plainist Lockland and Wyoming.—The Blind Hawkins concert at the A. M.

Then Dr. Ellarson, who took me in and treated me like a brother. Through Dr. Ellarson I got a 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. Ellarson. I would advise all in bad luck, sick or in trouble to or write to 651 Fulton street to Dr. Ellarson at wonderful home pneumonia.

I resolved to consult I found Dr. Shea was dead, but Dr. Ellarson was in his place, who told me my husband was alive and well and would come home in a few weeks. To my joy all of it came true. I thank God there is one in our midst who can help me so much, when they are in sore trouble of mind as I was. S. Lenhart, 1790 Third avenue. Brooklyn, May 3, 1902.—I went to Dr. Ellarson when I was so sick I thought I would die. Dr. Ellarson cured me and made me feel like a new person. I am thankful to the good spirit that led me there and to God for pointing me to such a good friend to give me such relief. Mary E. Harrison, 39 My avenue, Brooklyn, Newark, Sept. 14, 1902.—I wish to state that I was sick with a mysterious disease, a great trouble and distress for a long time. No one seemed to understand my case. I went to many doctors, but none of them seemed to know what was the matter. None could do me any good. Hearing of the wonderful works being done by Dr. Shea, the last few years, I thought I would call to see him myself. I found Dr. Shea was dead and gone, but I found in his old house a street, Dr. Ellarson, a most kind and sympathetic physician of wonderful insight and power, who in his cured me sound and well. I can truly and honest recommend Dr. Ellarson to all those in sickness or distress of any kind. Moses Jones, 13 Camp street, Newark, N. J. Orange, N. J., Feb. 1, 1903.—My Dear Friend Dr. Ellarson: Your welcome letter safely to hand and I hasten to answer the same. I can truly say your medicines have done me all the good in the world, and you are welcome one to know that in the paper as I want every one to know that in the paper我 so much. I cannot tell you how grateful I am and how much I thank you. I was lying helpless in bed and no one seemed to help me; until my brood went to you and got something when brought me right up on my feet and able to go to work again. I bless God that I heard about you. From your true friend, Amelia Webb, 73 Central place, Orange, N. J. New York, Feb. 5, 1903.—Dear Dr. Ellarson: I will pen you these few letters to let you know how much your treatment has done for me. I know how much your pain, feeelling née. Feel like a sixteen year old. When I think of how long I suffered before I came to you. I feel I can never thank you enough for your kindness and for what you have done for me, bringing back my health. I remain yours truly, Sarah E. Cox.

Ouster proceedings were instituted last week in Justice Reilley's court by Rev. Fred Rice against the trustees of Tri-Stone Baptist church, formerly known as the People's Gospel mission, 448 Broadway. Rev. Rice was formerly pastor, but has been lately deposed by Rev. W. R. Wilson. On Wednesday afternoon Rev. Rice appeared before Reilley, J. P., and made affidavit that he owned the church property and that if the congregation did not wish him as their preacher they should vacate. When the case was heard, deacons, trustees and elders of the church, also the two ministers, appeared and gave testimony. But Justice Reilley could not make up his mind and investigated himself, with the result that Rev. Rice was given the keys of the church. At Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Nelson's, 342 Turney avenue, Sunday, a musical and literary entertainment was given by their nine children in celebration of the parents' 20th marriage anniversary and the christening of four of the younger children. Mr. Nelson is steward of the Commercial Travelers' club, members of which were in attendance and presented the parents with $25 in gold and other members of the family with beautiful presents. A savings account of $6.50 was started for the youngest child, who is but four months old and who was christened Alton Roosevelt Nelson. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Arthur Ludlow, a classmate of the editor of The Gazette, who was also invited to be present. We desire particularly to call the attention of local relatives of Walter Stratton, Lorenzo Martin and Wheeler Kimbro, the three boys in jail at Fremont, recently indicted on a charge of murder in the first degree, resultant from the now notorious Clauss shear works strike, to their letter elsewhere in this paper. There is no doubt in our minds but what the boys were simply endeavoring to defend their lives, which were being threatened by a mob, when the striker and several others were killed and injured. They would have been lynched by a second mob had it not been for Sheriff Mason, of that county, and the knowledge of the fact that lynching in this state is very costly business for the taxpayers of the county whose officials allow it, owing to the existence of Ohio's antlynching law. The condition, as far as the boys are concerned, is one of great concern to them and their relatives, so great and so general is the prejudice against them and sympathy for the strikers throughout the city of Fremont and the county (Sandusky). This is made clear in the prompt indictment of the boys upon the part of the grand jury of the county. It is not difficult, therefore, to imagine their status in the courts when their cases come to trial, and it also seems to us absolutely necessary that a good strong attorney, not a resident of that section of the state should at once be employed by their local relatives to assist in their defense, if they are to be saved from the electric chair (death) or life imprisonment in the Ohio penitentiary. About two weeks ago an effort was made by Luther Hall, Jr., and Mr. G. Jones to get the local relatives together, but it failed. If they really want to save the lives of the boys, or at least help them to regain their liberty, for under the law, in our judgment at least, the boys have committed no crime, they (the relatives) must evidence more interest of a practical nature, and promptly, too.

Dear Editor: In behalf of my two friendly colleagues, Walter Stratton and Lorenzo Martin, allow me to thank you for your kindness and true friendship to us in your paper. We read the article in your paper this morning in regards to the misfortune that occurred to us Saturday night, May 9, and was more than pleased with your statements. Sheriff Mason is a man among men and is entitled to all the praise and compliments that have been bestowed upon him, a man whom every man, woman and child of the Afro-American race should be proud of, and a man whose brave deed shall be engraved upon our minds and no doubt the minds of many who have for their motto: "Justice to all and malice toward none." Hoping that you may and spare time to visit us in order that we may have a friendly conversation with you, we remain, Wheeler Kimbro, Walter Stratton, Lorenzo Martin. Editor Johnson's Verdict Set Aside. Trenton N. J. — Judge Kirkpatrick, United States circuit court, has rendered a decision setting aside the verdict of $500 awarded Rev. Henry T. Johnson, editor of the Christian Recorder, of Philadelphia, in his suit against the Pullman Company. He sued because he was refused a seat in a parlor car while en route from Richmond to Washington. The suit was brought under the federal act of March, 1875, which Judge Kirkpatrick said had been declared unconstitutional. This act related to interstate commerce. Stuck Diamond Pin in His Coat.

"I had often heard of Peruna as an excellent tonic, so I bought a bottle to see what it would do for me, and it certainly took hold of my system and rejuvenated me, and in less than two months I was in perfect health, and now when I feel worn out or tired a dose or two of Peruna is all that I need."—Mrs. J. E. Finn. Catarrh Causes Female Diseases. America is the land of nervous women. The great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffering from some form of female disease. By far the greatest number of female troubles are caused directly by catarrh. These women despair of recovery. Female trouble is so common, so prevalent, that they accept it as almost inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the way of recovery is that they do not understand that it is catarrh which is the source of their illness. In female complaint, ninety-nine cases out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located Where He Had the Advantage.

THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O. SATURDAY. MAY 30. 1903. 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. Mexico will soon have a stable dollar fixed at a non-fluctuating value of 50 cents. This news comes from official sources. It is said Mexico's financiers will never permit silver to be secondary in the republic. They will allow it to be the coin of the realm, however, only at a fixed ratio. The strike of the boilermakers on the Union Pacific railroad, inaugurated June 19, 1902, has been settled, the men being granted a substantial increase in wages and other questions arranged satisfactorily to both parties. All the men now out are to return to work. Ten persons were badly hurt and a score or more bruised in a runaway trolley car accident at Braddock, Pa., on the East Pittsburg branch of the Pittsburg railroad. The defaulcation of Oliver Sherwood, the former cashier of the Southport (Conn.) national bank, will reach close to $200,000. In addition to the money taken from the bank, Sherwood, it is believed, disposed of notes issued by the town of Fairfield. These notes already had been redeemed by the town, so that the present holders of the notes will be the losers. There is $62,000 involved in this deal. Before a crowd of 35,000 persons, August Belmont's Magistrate won the sixth national stallion race at Morris Park, N. Y. Right on the heels of the Magistrate came the second choice, Foxhall P. Keene's Palm Bearer, with the favorite, Leonidas, a neck away. The national stallion stallion stakes is worth $13,985, of which $10,247 went to the winner. Mrs. Sophia Kruger has been held to await the action of the grand jury at Cresco, Ia., after a preliminary trial for the murder of her husband, whose body was found in the river April 19 with a stone about its neck. The state charges her with having brained him with a pick as he lay asleep and having hauled the body to the river. In a wind that ranged from a mere zephyr to an eight-knot breeze the Reliance clearly proved her superiority over the Columbia and the Constitution in a recent race on Long Island Sound. A tornado struck Carmen, Okla., and destroyed about one-third of the town, including the principal houses and postoffice. P. F. Brown, of Wichita, was killed. Mrs. Wismiller was fatally injured. Twenty people were more or less injured. During an electrical storm at Clarinda, Ia., John Coons was struck by lightning and instantly killed. He went to a window to put down the shade and the bolt passed through his right shoulder and through his body. His 7-year-old son was severely shocked. Free silver has lost an advocate in the person of Dr. Benjamin Andrews. The chancellor of the University of Nebraska in a recent address before the class in ethics announced that he no longer entertained the views he had once held concerning silver coinage. The settlement of the strike of porters, packers and freight handlers of the wholesale grocery firms at St. Louis carries with it the assurance of the winding up of the strike of the railroad freight handlers and the prevention of a general strike of the teamsters, who were on the point of going out. Antonio Triola was put to death in the electric chair in Sing Sing (N. Y.) prison the other day. Five shocks were necessary to cause death. State Electrician Davis said it was harder to kill a thin, wiry man like Triola by the electric current than a stout man, as in the case of the thin man there are not enough tissues to convey the fatal current quickly to a vital part. About 150 Macedonian insurgents were killed at the village of Smerdesh May 21, according to a dispatch from Salonica. The insurgents, who had possession of quantities of dynamite, sought refuge in the village and were attacked by Turkish troops. The fighting lasted for thirty hours and ultimately all the houses were burned or blown up by dynamite by the Turks. Servant girls to hire by the hour is the latest idea of Boston society women, with a view of solving the servant girl problem. The experiment will be tried by the Women's Educational association. A house in the Back Bay will be opened August 1, where girls will be trained for a month or six weeks in various household duties, after which they will be hired out by the hour to householders. Concord, Mass., recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ralph Waldo Emerson. At Freedom, Pa., in a shooting affray on the street three men were shot, one fatally. They were: Leo Oranzo shot above the heart, through the right shoulder and through the left arm; cannot recover; Tony Oranzo, shot in the right shoulder; Angelo Tureinzo, shot in the back. The men, all Italians, were intoxicated and quarreled over some trivial matter. After a terrific struggle, in which he was probably fatally wounded, Edward H. Lucas, who has a national notoriety as a professional burglar, was captured at Chicago. With his right arm shattered by a bullet and his abdomen perforated by another bullet, he escaped from three officers and was captured only when he fell exhausted from loss of blood. Three men were injured, two of whom may die, two engines and a dozen cars demolished and traffic held up for six hours at the north end of the Dickerson Run, Pa., yards of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie railroad by a head-end collision. The ice manufacturing plant of the American Ice Co., at Philadelphia, was destroyed by fire. The building is valued at $50,000 and the machinery is said to be worth $150,000. During the progress of the fire there were numerous explosions of ammonia tanks, but no one was infured. During a severe electrical storm at Muncie, Ind., a Union Traction interurban car "went dead" while crossing the Lake Erie & Western tracks and the rear end was struck by an excursion train. The 30 passengers in the interurban car were shaken up and a number were injured. The Brotherhood of Railway Trailmen, which is in national convention at Denver, has voted to increase its protection fund from $100,000 to $300,000. This fund is used when strikes are called by that body. The wreck of the St. Paul flyer of the Chicago & Northwestern at Whiting, Ia., was due to a tornado. A box car was blown onto the main track and the passenger train crashed into it. Engineer George Coleman, of Sioux City, was killed and four other members of the crew seriously, but not fatally injured. The passengers escaped with a severe shaking up. Twelve buildings, including three stores, a hotel and several dwellings, were destroyed by fire at Weeks Mills, Me. A heavy rain and wind storm caused some damage in Omaha, Neb. Three tracks at the Union station were rendered useless and an engine pulling the fast mail east was derailed by the soft tracks. Several houses were unroofed. It is officially announced at Lowell, Mass., that an attempt will be made to resume operations at the cotton mills there on June 1. The mills were shut down on March 28. The son of Henry C. Cutler, of Massachusetts, has given $20,000 to Cutler academy, at Colorado Springs, Col., as the nucleus for an endowment fund, which President Slocum, of Colorado college, expects will shortly be increased to $250,000. The Peruvian gunboat Loreto sprung a leak 40 miles northeast of the Scilly Islands and sank in an hour. The crew were picked up by a French trawler and were landed at Plymouth, England. Consul General McWade at Canton has cabled the state department that famine is increasing in Kwangsi province and that relief is urgently needed. He also informs the department that sporadic Asiatic cholera exists in Canton. At New Baltimore, Mich., May 26 ten people were injured in a collision between a Rapid railway electric passenger car and a steam freight train that runs on the company's tracks hauling freight during the night and early morning. The tender of the freight engine was driven half way through the passenger car, smashing it to splinters. Prompt and heroic work by two policemen, one of whom was so badly burned that he was crazed by the pain, saved the lives of several women and children who had been caught in a burning building in Fulton street, Brooklyn, N. Y. When the police and firemen reached the scene women and children were at the windows of the building calling for help. Formal notice of Congressman Frank C. Wachter's intention to contest the recent election for mayor in Baltimore has been sent Mayor Robert W. McLane. The notice includes Mr. Wachter's specific claim that he received a plurality of the votes cast at the recent municipal election. His attorneys announce that the petition for a recount of the ballots will be filed in the superior court. Inspectors Doran and Smithers, of the postoffice department, are at Pueblo, Col., investigating alleged violations of the postal laws. Several persons have received circulars advertising a lottery at Hamburg, Germany. The report of the inspectors will be sent to Washington and the matter will be taken up with the German government. The boiler plate mills of the Central Iron and Steel Co. at Harrisburg, Pa., were destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $200,000 and throwing a large number of men out of work. The loss is fully covered by insurance. By the bursting of the dams of two lakes near Glen Allen, a few miles above Richmond, Va., the bank of the north track of the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac railroad was washed away. As a freight train of 20 cars was passing over the weakened track 12 cars went down and most of these were totally wrecked. The engine passed safely over. A tornado struck the town of Rolfe, Ia., killing Fong Loo, a laundryman; fatally injuring a child and wrecking the State bank building, Crayon's general store, the Hotel De Main and one other building. Several residences were damaged The general managers of the large railroads running into Chicago remain firm in their refusal to grant any further concessions to the freight handlers, and there are apparently slight indications of weakening on the part of the union. The test suit to fix liability for damages to the families of the victims and persons injured by the explosion of fireworks in Madison Square garden last election night has been decided against the city. Solomon Landau brought suit against the city of New York, claiming $10,000 damages for the death of his boy. A verdict for $1,612, which included 'interest, was brought in by the jury. Col. M. E. Urell, commander-in-chief of the Spanish War Veterans, announces that the national encampment of the organization this year will be held in New Haven, Conn. The dates of the encampment have not been fixed definitely, but they probably will be September 28-30. Employers in the building trades representing 28 association have adopted a constitution and by-laws and elected officers for the Building Trades Employers' Association of the City of New York. With the board of governors is lodged the power of settling all disputes between employer and employees, this board to consist of three representatives from each of the principal associations in the organization. The report that cases of bubonic plague had been discovered at the Chilian seaport of Iquique is confirmed. There were ten cases, six of which were fatal.

Sensational Case. Alston, Mich., May 25th—Houghton County has never witnessed a more striking medical case than that of Mr. James Culet of this place. Mr. Culet had spent a small fortune with the best physicians in the county and in addition to this he has tried every medicine he could hear of. He had a very bad case of Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble, from which he had suffered for twenty years. Nothing he could get seemed to do him any good, and he was gradually growing worse. He has no Rheumatism now and explains it thus: "One day I happened to see an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills and decided to try them. "I made up my mind to give them a good fair trial, as my case was a very bad one and was of over twenty years' standing. "I used altogether 42 boxes and I can truthfully say that they have driven out every trace of the Rheumatism. "I feel like a new man, and I can and do most heartily recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills for Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble." Information Wanted.
