2 THE GAZETTE. One Year..... 81 80 Six Months..... 1 00 Three Months..... 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post office money order or registered letter. 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. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The anti-disfranchisement plank in the Ohio republican platform adopted at the recent state convention held in Columbus, could not have been weaker. It is characteristically "Hanna." The Tennessee supreme court has declared unconstitutional the "Jim Crow" street car law enacted by a recent assembly of that state. It seems to have more "backbone" than the United States supreme court when one remembers the latter's recent Alabama decision. President Roosevelt's "square deal" talk at Springfield, Ill., last week Thursday, published elsewhere in this paper, has the right ring and is the truth. When it is generally recognized in this country there will be no "race problem." It is a solution of the greatest question that confronts the country to-day. the country to-day. That alleged Pittsburg, Pa., "raceriot" of May 31 was nothing of the kind. Two mixed (colored and white) crowds fought, the result being two dead (one white and one colored) and several (both classes) injured. The Associated Press liar got his dirty work into the daily papers of the country early, however. The sentencing to ten years' imprisonment in the Missouri penitentiary of a white brute by the name of Samuel Mitchell, who led the Joplin mob that lynched an Afro-American by the name of Thomas Gilyard some weeks ago, is very encouraging indeed. We sincerely trust that the pardon officials of that state will permit him to serve the term. The recent Alabama decision of the United States supreme court has not discouraged Virginia and Alabama Afro-Americans who have been fighting disfranchisement in the courts. It has only encouraged them to continue the fight with renewed vigor and on broader grounds. Our people all over the country should contribute liberally and assist them in compliance with their appeals. Their fight is our fight—the Afro-American's. A pamphlet containing two exceptionally strong articles, "Why The Negro Was Enfranchised," and "Negro Suffrage Justified," by Mr. R. E. Hallowell, of Boston, Mass., assisted by Butler R. Wilson, esq., of the same city, has been received by The Gazette, and is the best and most timely publication we have seen. Too many copies could not be published nor can too many like it be issued. A more general distribution for it and all that follow, should be provided for. For instance, at least two copies should be sent to every daily newspaper in the north particularly, and to as many individuals of all classes, as it is possible to reach. Every race newspaper ought to publish the articles the pamphlet contains and every intelligent Afro-American, north and south, should be in possession of one or more copies. From all we can learn at this writing, the shooting of Chas. Hertel (white), superintendent of the St. Clair county, Ill., schools, by David J. Wyatt, an Afro-American, for many years a school teacher in that county, was entirely justified. Nevertheless, a mob of white brutes "burned him at the stake," robbing a widow and four children of a good husband and father, and the community of one of its best citizens. Hertel was not dead when last heard from. The lynching (and in Illinois, too,) is another exposition of boasted American civilization. We wonder if there is anything that will stop the American press and pulpit in their mad sensationalism rush long enough to do a little good work, their clear duty, against the rapidly spreading American cancer—mob violence? It is America's greatest shame as well as its most dangerous and threatening evil, because it is sapping the very life of the government. TH'RD REJOINDER TO THE HON. BOLTON SMITH. Of the four million of people desiring the independence of the colonies, not one-half of them was any better qualified for the right of suffrage than the masses of the colored people to-day. They had their Franklin's, their Hamiltons, Jeffersons and Hancocks then. We have ours now, though unknown to public life, yet they are to be found in the ranks of the people. But it was an opportune moment with the patriots of the revolution, for it was through the exigency of trying events came their great men, and when the struggle was over and a government of the people was established, nobody questioned the right of the citizens to the suffrage. The constitution contemplated and provided for an equal liberty to all men. Upon every contested field, from Bunker Hill to Apomattox, the black man was there to do and to die for his country; and since the day of freedom to him, he has made wonderful strides in education and learning, proving his proficiency in the professions and a capable aid in the departments of government. But suffrage cannot with justice be regulated by intelligence or systematic education alone, because the want of attainments in one class in this direction might necessitate a higher class further advanced than another, until the right be restricted to the few, which would be in direct violation of the principles of American jurisprudence and in accord with the doctrine of that great political economist and state's right advocate, De Bow, who says, the right to govern resides with the few and the duty to obey is inherent in the masses of mankind. Suffrage cannot be regulated by race or color, for the reason that if it can be denied on that account, then the right of property, of residence and personal liberty, can have no safe tenure by which they would be secure. Then again, when it is urged that the Afro-American is not to be trusted with the ballot, it is only equivalent to saying he is not to be trusted with his own home and his own property. It is his property to vote aye or nay, and to choose between two candidates for the same office, and it is as much his right to affirm that right as to think it. But it comes with ill grace from that class of white men, who exercising the elective franchise, yet brought on the most stupendous rebellion known to the world, drove the nation to the verge of destruction, and made it necessary to enlist 200,000 black soldiers to save it, now to ask the denial or the suffrage to that race of men who gave their lives to save the republic. Suffrage cannot be given as a gratuity. It has never been offered as a grant to any citizen. No man can give that which is not his. The right which he holds is his, and every man's right is his own whether denied the privilege to assert that right or not. One may be allowed to eat his own victuals, spend his own money and pay his own debts, but the right exists at all events, whether he is at liberty to exercise that right or not. Whoever votes to deny the Negro the right of suffrage, does so as a robber. The robber who robs me of mine and returns it, gives me nothing, because it was not his to give, nor does the community which releases to a man his rights, bestow anything which claims our gratitude, however much we may admire the wisdom of the act. Mr. Smith may suffer some annoyances at the hands of the black man and he may suffer the same at the hands of the whites, but that is no argument why he should rob and degrade the one or the other. They, too, we have no doubt, suffer annoyances from men of his class. Men are sometimes easily piqued. All good and brave men are more disposed to eliminate that which is an evil per se, and prefer rather to suffer wrong than do wrong. But we are reminded that this is "a white man's government," and this no one should deny. But it is also a black man's government, a rich man's government and a poor man's government. It is mine because it is yours, and it is yours because it is mine, belonging exclusively to no one more than the other. The cause of the republic is the cause of the people. Great interests are involved, and however complicated or intricate those interests, they concern each and all of us; they concern the life of the nation. If the nation fall, we fall with it; if it stand, it will be because we have upheld it, but it can live only upon lines of justice and fair-dealing to every citizen. Let us then consider the basis upon which our government must live. The constitution is the organic voice of the people. It proclaims in striking language the fundamental postulate that states as such have no rights save those that are secondary and contingent upon the will of the general government, and it is ordained (constitution, article vi.): "This constitution and the laws of the United States made in pursuance; all treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the United States shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding." Must we believe that the action instituted by North and South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Maryland and Alabama, in nullifying the amendments to the federal constitution has served as a satisfactory inducement to Mr. Smith, that he now demands the repeal of the suffrage amendments? Should not an outrage so flagrant awaken his greater sense of duty to his country, to demand obedience to the law and impell him to a hearty denunciation of the crime? Certainly he who knows anything of the true nature and character of this government, will acknowledge that it derives its powers from the consent of the governed, and that the only way known to us and acknowledged by us is to express that consent through our suffrage; and we have declared to all the world that whenever the government fails to secure these rights, it should be altered or abolished. Where now stands Mr. Smith? Does our government derive its powers from the consent of the governed and are we not a part of the governed? Will he favor robbery and outrage and bring upon this great nation humiliation and shame upon the ground that he believes that the black man should not enjoy the right of suffrage? In the face of the fact, too, that he knows in all conscience that the demand is contrary to every sense of right and justice. Does he ask this government to assume the responsibility of enlisting and draft- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1903. ing black men into the army, to risk health, their limbs and life to defend any and all the states, in case of invasion, and then upon the discharge of these duties as citizens and soldiers, be told by that government that it cannot protect them in the right of suffrage, a right by which in this country all other rights are secured and the right indeed by which the people design the perpetuity of our national government? Will Mr. Smith insult the better wisdom of the people of this great republic by insisting on a demand so unreasonable, unjust and pernicious? Has he mistaken the spirit of American liberty in the face of every sign of the hour, that the finest minds, the warmest hearts and the stoutest wills, chosen from the entire nation, have marshaled themselves into one grand knighthood for the rights of man? Our creed is justice to humblest as well as to the greatest, fear God, wrong no man, that in the future no party nor section shall claim public patronage that has not in itself the vitalizing principle of political righteousness.

Washington's notion of solving the "Negro problem" by joining the white man in his contention that the Negro is premature and out of order when contending for his political and civil rights, and that higher education unfits the Negro for good Negro citizenship. The Negro newspapers which have the foresight to see the results of Mr. Washington's teaching to the Negro race in this country, and have the race love and courage to combat it, cannot be frowned down by Mr. Cooper, whose logic is blackguarding and browbeating.—Chicago Conservator REV. VINEY RESIGNS The Pastorate of St. Paul's A. M. E. Church - States His Reasons in a Letter to the Presiding Elder. Ironton, O., May 25, 1903. Rev. C. A. McGee, P. E. Rev. C. A. M. McGee, P. E. Dear Brother, It becomes my duty to say that owing to certain financial obligations that I have to meet. I am compelled, when personal credit must be considered, to tender my resignation to the pulpit of the St. Paul A. M. E. church at Charleston, W. Va., to go into immediate effect. I could not consistently remain until the close of the rally on the third Sunday in June. I left the church ten days ago in the most excellent spirit with an increase in the congregation and a splendid feeling in respect to the rally. In view of my experience in the ministry and the long service I have given the church on her mission fields, I will have to most respectfully refuse to accept at the hand of any bishop any more nonsupporting churches. I wish you God-speed, dear brother, in the furtherance of the gospel of Christ. Yours truly, J. ALLEN VINEY. Don't Buy Douglass' Stock.

Mitchell was charged with climbing the telegraph pole and adjusting the rope with which Gilyard was hanged. ELEVEN MURDERS. A Michigan Woman Said to Have Committed Them—Strychnine Tablets Were Used. Kalkaska, Mich., June 11.—After two weeks' work Prosecutor E. C. Smith has secured the confession of Mrs. Mary McKnight to the cold-blooded, premeditated murder of her brother, John Murphy; Gertrude Murphy, his young wife, and their 3-months-old baby. A partial confession was made Monday evening in which Mrs. McKnight denied killing the baby. Late Tuesday night Smith again called at the woman's cell at her request and this time she made a complete confession. In her statement she admitted giving Mr. and Mrs. Murphy capsules of strychnine and quinine mixed. Eight other persons beside the three to whose murders Mrs. McKnight confessed, investigation shows, have died in the past 15 years under circumstances that, in view of the woman's confession, are now thought to be very suspicious. All of the eight were either relatives or intimate friends who died while living with Mrs. McKnight, or while she was at their house. All are said to have shown symptoms that are now believed to indicate strychnine poisoning. They are: Ernest McKnight, the woman's husband. James Ambrose, her first husband, who died in Alpena in 1887. Mrs. McKnight, the wife of James E. McKnight, who was the partner of Ambrose. Baby Katie, Mrs. McKnight's niece. Eliza Chalker, another niece, who died at Grayling in May, 1892. Sara Murphy, Mrs. McKnight's sister, who died at Grayling in February, 1898. A Mrs. Curry, who died in Saginaw in 1893 while Mrs. McKnight was at her mother's house. Dorothy Jenson, a child, who died in Grayling while under Mrs. McKnight's care during the absence of her mother. Investigation of these deaths shows that all of these persons except Mrs. Curry were taken suddenly ill and showed what are now regarded as unmistakable symptoms of strychnine poisoning. The physician who attended Ernest McKnight, the woman's husband, says that he is now confident that McKnight died from strychnine. The physician, Dr. Leighton, who was baffled by McKnight's trouble and the suddenness with which it came, says he can see now that he had every symptom of strychnine poisoning. Eliza Chalker and Sara Murphy were stricken at the table while Mrs. McKnight was present. Both died in convulsions in a few hours. There was no suspicion against Mrs. McKnight in connection with the murders until she filed a mortgage on her brother's property after his death, on which the figures had, it is alleged, been raised from $200 to $600. An investigation was then begun. The body of John Murphy was exhumed and strychnine found in the stomach. Mrs. McKnight was placed under arrest, with the result that she confessed. Her confession was entirely voluntary and she seemed perfectly sane, although under great mental strain. No motive for the crimes can be found. BIG BRIBERY FUND. It Is Alleged to Have Been Raised to Secure Admission Into a Labor Organization. New York, June 11.—District Attorney Jerome in an interview yesterday told of further transactions involving Samuel J. Parks, the business agent of the Housesmiths' union, now under bonds. In the fall of 1902 a strike was precipitated by the Amalgamated Painters and Decorators. It affected principally the boss cabinet makers. The Amalgamated Painters and Decorators' organization was a member of the building trades council, while its rival, the Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers, was not. The employers decided they could best fight the strike by fostering the brotherhood. Accordingly they tried to obtain for it representation in the council. The brotherhood, said Mr. Jerome, raised $25,500 towards its expense of obtaining admission to the council. A prominent cabinetmaker urged 17 firms to contribute $250 each for the same purpose. Two firms refused. The Union club was one of the contributors. After the money was paid, Mr. Jerome said, a brotherhood man told the cabinetmakers: "While we have collected this fund, it is impossible to do what we want with this amount. There is to be an election of officers in the council soon and it will be necessary to make another collection." Again the cabinetmakers were called upon, said Mr. Jerome, and each gave up $200 more. This amount was paid to five walking delegates. One of them, Mr. Jerome declared, was Parks. Fatal Explosion in a Mine Leadville, Col., June 11.—Two hundred and fifty pounds of giant powder exploded at the shaft house of the Fortune mine yesterday. Five men were entombed in the mine until late in the afternoon, when all were rescued excepting the superintendent, Patrick Barker, who was found dead in the bottom of the shaft with his head cut off. It is believed that he was struck by falling timbers. Carnegie Buys Fossils. Pittsburg, June 11.—Dr. William J. Holland, director of the Carnegie institute, of Pittsburg, announced yesterday that Andrew Carnegie had purchased from Baron De Bayet, of Brussels, Belgium, his notable collection of European fossils, and that the collection had been presented to the Carnegie museum in this city. Dr. Holland says paleontologists have long regarded the De Bayet collection as the best outside of the great museums of Europe and that there is nothing in America at present to equal it. Snow in Colorado: Denver, Col., June 11.—Snow fell yesterday in all parts of Colorado except the San Luis valley. The snowfall was heavy on La Veta, Tennessee. Marshall and other mountain passes, and in Leadville and the Cripple Creek mining districts. Michigan Legislature Adjourns.

Dreker's Sons Co. (Established 1858) The Arcade Cleveland $1,000 REWARD DR. ELLARSON The Colored People's Friend Has Removed from 651 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, The Place formerly occupied by the LATE DR. SHEA, M. To 761 Fulton Street, Brooklyn. DR. ELLARSON, MARVELOUS MEDIUM and TRANCE CLARIVOYANT, can do all for you that Dr. Shea did, and has even still greater power. Gives the names of dead and living friends, tells whom and when you will marry. Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Dr. ELARSON will not for any price flatter you, but will give you facts without nonsense. Will tell you of absent friends, journeys, business, lawsuits, health or anything you wish to know about. Asks no questions, don't ask you to write the name, don't try to pump you in any way but tells you right off. Is thoroughly endorsed by leading Spiritualists everywhere; has creatural references to both white and colored patrons. Thirteen years practice in Brooklyn and New York will prove to you that Dr. Ellarson can give you satisfaction as no one else can. Can tell you what business is best for you and where. Can tell you how to win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all your doings; succeeds when all others fail. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all from Dr. Ellarson. Positive help and satisfaction on no pay. You will find it lucky to consult this real Christian physcian and wonderful Medium. Has a medicine that will cure drunkenness, can be given patients, not knowing it. Thou- shouldn't. RICH.

Through a perfect knowledge of chemistry can impart to you a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. In love affairs never fails. Has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. The course of Spiritualism that there are so many who claim powers they do not possess, Beware of such and those who copy parts of my advertisement.

ELLARSON understands thoroughly the duties, spells and influences the race is subject to, and that they have been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: New York, New of, 14, 1002—This is to certify that I was out of work, out of money, and discouraged. 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 went, but found that Dr. Shea was dead; but I found in Dr. Shea's place a good, kind friend, the best friend I ever had. That friend was Dr. Ellarson. Who took me in and treated me like a throne. Throned Dr. Ellarson at 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 once. I had pneumonia. By Dr. Ellarson's wonderful powers I was cured all right in three weeks. I was not any more come to or write to Wm. A. Cook 1855 Third avenue, New York, Borough Manhattan. New York, March 24, 1902.—This is to certify that my husband had gone away and been away for a long time. I knew not where he was. I mourned for him night and day. I gave him the things he wore, wound things Dr. Shea was doing, resolve 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 people so much, when they are in sore trouble blind 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, 193 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn. Newark Street, 194, my2. wish to state that I was sick with my disease and in great trouble and distress for a long 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 roms, 651 Fulton street, Dr. Ellarson, a sympathetic physician of wonderful insight and sympathetic who in a short time cured me sound and well. I heartily 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 little and world, and you are welcome to use my name in paper as I want every one to know that you have helped me so much. I cannot tell you how grateful I am how much I thank you. I was lying helpless in bed and no one seemed to help me; until my brother 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 lines to let you know how your treatment has done for me. I am without your pain, feeling fine. 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 in bringing back my health. I remain yours truly, Sarah E. Cox, The Strathmore Flats, corner 52nd street and Broadway, New York. DR. ELLARSON can show thousands such as the bore.

Children's day will be fittingly celebrated at St. John's Sunday afternoon by the Sunday-school. "The Sixth Commandment" will be the subject of Rev. E. S. Doan's Sunday evening address at St. Andrew's Episcopal church. Prof. Z. W. Mitchell, of Akron, was again in the city the first of the week. The local Loyal Legion of Labor met again at St. Andrew's mission on Tuesday evening. Hon. Walter Cohen, of New Orleans, a local government official by the appointment of the president, was in the city several days the first of the week and visited The Gazette sanctum. T. Thomas Fortune, editor of The New York Age, who was some months ago appointed a special commissioner to Hawaii and the Philippines by the war department on the suggestion of President Roosevelt, passed through the city Tuesday evening en route home from Manila. The grand rally at Shiloh church closed Sunday. Over $550 was raised. The True Reformers' sermon was preached at the church Sunday afternoon by Rev. B. K. Smith. Chief Griffin, of Cincinnati, spoke. The latter also held a meeting at the church Monday night. Wm. E. Beidleman, who went to Mt. Clemens, Mich., some months ago, being quite a sufferer from rheumatism, has returned in much better health. He reports that such has been the increase of prejudice there, that it is almost impossible for Afro-Americans to secure treatment in connection with the baths. The Loyal Legion of Labor held another meeting in St. Andrew's church Tuesday evening. Several new members were admitted. The work is progressing nicely. There will be another meeting Tuesday evening, the place to be announced from the pulpits Sunday. Prof. Z. W. Mitchell, of Akron, will be present and a permanent organization perfected. Mrs. Garrett Buster, of Wilmington, O., and her mother, Mrs. Wm. Mayo, formerly of Dayton and Cleveland, now of Akron, were in the city a few hours on Saturday visiting the former's sister, Miss Lora Mayo, who will also make her home in Akron with her parents after the middle of next week. Her sister, Mrs. Buster, will visit her here several days the first of the week. The Gazette has received an invitation to attend the marriage of Miss Flora Mabel Tucker to Mr. Leroy Timothy Pullen on Wednesday evening, June 24, at Shiloh church. Rev. E. D. Dandridge will officiate. The reception will be held from 8 until 10 o'clock at the bride's home, 41 Astor avenue. Miss Tucker is the eldest daughter of Patrolman Wm. Tucker, well known here, and has a host of friends who wish her and Mr. Pullen much success and happiness in their marriage career. Both the prospective bride and groom have a large circle of acquaintances. St. Matthew's Tabernacle, Daughters of Tabor, was organized and officers installed by Sir Knight Allen J. Lucas, of Springfield, last Sunday afternoon at 182 Ontario street. The following officers were installed: Georgiana Johnson, chief preceptress; Josephine Cook, vice preceptress; May F. Johnson, chief recorder; Madeline Burch, chief treasurer; Sarah Owens, chief priestress; Mary Holbrook, inside sentinel; Lizzie Dixon, outside sentinel; Henry Burch and Arthur Pettiford, chief tribunes; board of examiners, C. A. Wright, Mattie Walker and Annie Chumlin; board of visitors, Lucy Fulkison, Lucy Watters and Sarah Smith. The next Epworth League convention will be held at Cory Chapel in July. Oberlin, Elyria and Lorain will be represented. Children's day program at 3 o'clock Sunday. The officers and teachers have worked hard to make this the best program ever rendered by the S. S. The lawn fete given by the Tribe of Gad at 162 Cedar avenue was a success. Mr. Thomas, captain, returns thanks to those who assisted him. There was a lawn fete at J. S. Jackson's, 628 Central avenue, Thursday evening by the Tribe of Judah. The Tribe is trying to raise $100 for the rally. The Willing Workers served refreshments after their program this week. The subject for debate was discussed by Messrs. W. Brown and H. Williams, affirmative; Messrs. F. Corbin and F. Lee, negative. Rev. R. H. Dickerson presented the S. S. and Epworth League with 75 new song books last Wednesday evening. Prof. Clayton, of Curry school, Urbana, visited Antioch church Sunday morning and gave an instructive talk to the S. S. The children's day exercises will take place Sunday afternoon directly after services. In connection with the program they will render some of the best music ever given on such an occasion. Sunday evening has been set aside for the grand rally. It is hoped that $1,000 will be raised. The church has been divided into ten tribes, and each tribe is expected to give $100. In addition, the Sunday-school will give $25. This money is to pay the mortgage on the church property. On June 21 the rally will be continued, at which time there will be a mortgage-burning. One gentleman will give $25 for the privilege of applying the match, and another will give $1 to furnish the match. Some months ago a vain effort was made by officials of the local Waiters' union to organize a separate union for Afro-American waiters of the city. It failed, as all such efforts should. There is about every other race, class or nationality under the sun except ours in the local Waiters' union, and there is no good reason why its door should not be open to us just as it is to the Jewish, Irish, German, French and other white waiters. This was promised by the officials of the local union when the effort referred to above failed some months ago. It was announced last week that they had called a meeting of their organization for last Sunday with a view of providing for the admission of our waiters. We trust it was done. Whether it was or not, none of our waiters should be fooled into forming a separate organization and thus drawing a "color line" upon themselves at the request of whites who, as a rule, can be benefited by association with the average Afro-American waiter. It is the rankest kind of an insult to ask our men to form a separate union for themselves and not make the same request of the Irish, German, French and Jewish waiters in the city. Do not allow such a color line to be drawn. The Jewett Anti-Lynching League held a fairly well attended open meeting last Monday evening at St. John's church. President T. H. Smith presided and Mrs. Genevra Minter and a quartette furnished the music. The speakers were Hon. Harry C. Smith, Rev. E. S. Doan, Mr. Garland and others. After some discussion, during which Mr. W. G. Jones, of the East End, offered to stand half the expense of sending some one to Fremont to thoroughly investigate and report the condition of the cases of the three boys (Lorenzo Martin, Walter Stratton and Wheeler Kimbo) in jail there under an indictment of murder in the first degree as the result of an effort to defend their lives against a mob of Cluss shear works strikers and their friends, several motions were made. A collection was taken with a view to doing this, which netted a trifle over $21. There was some talk of employing an attorney at an expense of $30, which, in our judgment, is ridiculous, for the very good reason that a member of the league or some one else should be sent to Fremont to get the information, but at an expense NOT EXCEEDING RAILROAD FARE AND ONE MEAL. SIX OR SEVEN DOLLARS WOULD DO THIS. If the organization is to do anything to assist the boys, it will need every dollar (and a good many more) that it can raise between now and fall. The discourteous conduct of one or two windy, talkative individuals was the only thing to mar an otherwise interesting meeting. The B. Dreher's Sons Co.are having a clearance sale of square pianos, with prices as follows: R. Nunn' s; $20; L. Gilbert' s; $25; Hayes' ; $35; Stodart, $40; Cummings, $50; Metropolitan, $65; Stanley, $75; Decker Bros., $100. Every one is a big bargain. Stool, cover and instruction book with each piano.

Our readers can oblige us greatly by sending at once the address of any good person or persons in any of the cities named above or others, to whom we can write relative to the matter. State Capital Personals. Columbus, O.—Rev. W. T. Anderson, of the Tenth cavalry, arrived from Fort Robinson, Neb., last week. He is chaplain of the regiment and ranks as captain. He is on a four months' leave of absence.—It was amusing, during the recent state republican convention, to see Jake Reed, Tom Fleming, Willie Clifford, Charley Black (of the notorious "Z" club), John Fulton, George Myers and Charlie Marshall, all Clevelanders, "hobnobbing" in the tail-end of the Hanna band wagon. Insignificant? Well, I should say so. "Jim Crow" Law Is Knocked Out. Jackson, Tenn.-The "Jim Crow" law providing separate compartments for whites and blacks in street cars, which was passed by the recent legislature, was declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court here last Saturday. The court did not go into the merits of the law itself, but declared the act unconstitutional because its caption was not explicit enough and did not state what portion of the old law it was to amend. One Afro-American Graduate. Athens, O.—The commencement exercises of the Athens high school were held last evening. The graduating class was composed of 20 members. There was only one Afro-American graduate—Miss Florence Cousins. The group picture of the class was fine. Reduced Fares via Pennsylvania Lines.

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 injury to the human hair. Cupidity and the desire for quick wealth have tempted many people, ignorant both as to pharmacy and chemistry, to sell to the people so-called hair tonics, which (on account of their low price) contain mineral poisons, the immediate effect of which cause the hair to grow quickly, but whose certain end is falling hair and a bald head. There is only one safe course to pursue—use only on your hair an absolutely guaranteed vegetable remedy for the hair, such as GLOSSINE really is, which can only do good, and work no injury.

CLEVELAND. O.. SATURDAY. JUNE 13. 1903. Latest Reports from the Flooded Districts. The Mississippi River at St. Louis Is Still Rising. Torrential Rain Storm in South Carolina Caused Great Destruction to Property and Loss of Life at Two Towns in that State. St. Louis, June 9.—So great an extent of territory is covered by the flood, so constantly changing are the conditions as the water creeps higher and renders the situation more chaotic, and so unreliable are the various rumors of the devastation that a substantiated summary of the losses of lives and property cannot be obtained, but last night information from the most reliable sources showed the situation to be as follows: Twenty lives known to have been lost. Over 200,000 acres of rich farming lands under water. All of Venice and the greater parts of Madison and Granite City under water. Twenty-five thousand people readered homeless. Freight traffic completely paralyzed and passenger traffic practically so. The shipping and manufacturing district of East St. Louis for three miles along the river front under from two to eight feet of water. Hundreds and probably thousands of head of stock drowned. Entire property loss estimated at $3,000,000. St. Louis, June 11.—Almost two-thirds of East St. Louis, ill., is under from two to 15 feet of water. Between sunset Tuesday night and dawn Wednesday 11 lives were sacrificed to the waters and damage which no man attempted to estimate has been done to property. Since last Thursday morning 5,000 men, under the leadership of Mayor Cook, have toiled unceasingly to strengthen levees and to do everything possible to save the city. Not a wheel of industry is turning in East St. Louis. The smokeless chimneys of manufacturing plants stand lifeless while the flood whirls at the foundations. The vast railroad yards are outlined by hundreds of half submerged cars and here and there stand locomotives only half visible. To the south, beyond the railway yard area, are thousands of homes, mainly cottages owned by laborers and containing their all, submerged to the eaves. Along the front to the west a levee of sand bags from two to six feet high and two miles long keeps the river out. It was reported yesterday that seven negroes, caught in the act of looting houses Tuesday night, were shot to death. While this was not confirmed, it is known that there was heavy firing on the north side, where these negroes are said to have been killed. The deaths of John Koolish, a Polish carpenter, and his three children, two boys and a girl, were caused by trying to save three kegs of beer. Denverside, a suburb of East St. Louis, was completely inundated and Alta Sita, farther to the east, was half flooded last night. If the river should rise even a little more the water must swamp Alta Sita. Kansas City, Kan., June 8.—Kansas suffered as a result of the recent floods more than any other state. No exact figures of the loss sustained can be given, but those who have an intimate knowledge of the sections submerged and the extent of the floods have been making estimates and their conclusions may be considered fairly reliable. The damage done in the principal cities and towns is estimated as follows: Nineteen other cities $985,000. Argentine $2,000,000. Kansas City, Kan., and suburbs $8,000,000. No account has been taken of the small villages. The very lowest estimate of the loss done to crops is $5,000,000. Spartanburg, S. C., June S.—A torrential rain storm visited this region early Saturday morning, resulting in general destruction of life and property. All the bridges and trestles on the main line of the Southern railway were washed away. The greatest destruction of life and property occurred at the Pacolet, Clifton and Glendale cotton mills. Charlotte, N. C., June 8.—Sunday's developments in the devastated mill settlements at Pacolet and Clifton, on the Pacolet river, in South Carolina, do not lessen the horrors of the situation there, though it is believed that the loss of life will not exceed 50 people. The destruction of property by the flood was far-reaching and even yet a number of mill points where it is feared damage has been done cannot be heard from on account of the prostration of telephone and telegraph wires. The town of Union, S. C., is totally isolated. Battleship Contracts Awarded. Washington, June 10.—Secretary Moody yesterday announced the acceptance of the three lowest bids for the three 16,000-ton battleships and the following awards have been made: Minnesota—Newport News (Va.) Shipbuilding Co., $4,110,000. Kansas—New York Shipbuilding Co., of Camden, N. J., for $4,179,000, and the Vermont to the Fore River Manufacturing Co., of Weymouth, Mass., for $4,165,000. Secretary Moody has ruled that portable equipment is not to be included in the limit of cost fixed by congress, which was $4,212,000 for each ship. Nashville Leadx Washington, June 10.—The statement of the gross postal receipts for last month as compared with May, 1902, at 50 of the largest postoffices in the United States shows a net increase of $269,152, or about 6 per cent. The largest increase was 29 per cent, at Nashville, Tenn. Ten offices reported decreases, the largest being about 7 per cent., at Portland, Me. New York's receipts increased .8 per cent. and those of Chicago 9 per cent. Philadelphia with 3 per cent. decrease was the only one of the ten largest cities that failed to show a gain. WESTERN CANADA'S IMMIGRATION. Rapid Settlement of the Wheat Fields Lying North of the 49th Parallel. [From the Chicago Record-Herald. "Canada has anticipated a very heavy immigration this year, and she now has figures to show that she is actually getting it in a way to meet all her expectations. In the first four months of this year the doors of the Dominion opened to 40,672 persons, according to a report prepared by the committee on agriculture and colonization of the Canadian parliament. This is almost twice as large as the immigration in the corresponding months last year, and fully three times as large as in 1901, the respective figures being 22,482 and 13,393. "Most of these newcomers have been attracted by the wheat lands of the Northwest territories. They have moved direct from Winnipeg and they have turned that city into a great camp, in which they have been fitting themselves out for the last stage of their adventure for new homes. "Of the immigration of this spring a little over a third has come from Great Britain, the figure being 16,457. This is three times as large as the British immigration of the corresponding months of the preceding year, and it is within 2,500 of the number of immigrants that the United States attracted from Great Britain and Ireland in the same period this spring. As to the remainder of the immigration into Canada, 13,770 settlers came from the United States, a 50 per cent. increase over the preceding year, and 10,445 from Continental Europe, a 40 per cent. increase. "These 40,672 immigrants into Canada may appear trifling in comparison with the 297,070 persons who entered the United States in the same period, but they are proportionately more important to the country. Canada's population is one-fifteenth of ours, but her immigration is now two-fifteenth as large as ours. It is worth remembering also that Canada's immigrants are almost entirely of Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic races, while our immigration is now two-thirds made up of Romance and Slav elements. "Speculation is natural as to the future of Canada in her relations to the United States when her Northwest territories are filled up, but the one absolutely certain fact of the near future is that the United States is to have a great competitor in the grain markets of the world." The above editorial article taken from the columns of the Chicago Record-Herald of May2 26th shows the condition of the Canadian Immigration, which as pointed out, has had a constant growth—a marvelously increasing growth—for the past six or seven years, until this year, it is confidently assumed the increase to Canada's population, by way of Immigration, will exceed 100,000. This is accounted for by the great agricultural resources which abound there. It is no fairy tale, but the matter-of-fact experience of the tens of thousands bear ample testimony to the wealth and riches in store for all who choose to accept of the opportunities offered. Those who wish to learn more of the country can secure illustrated atlases, pamphlets, etc., giving full and reliable data issued under Government authority, by applying to any of the authorized agents of the Canadian Government.

Williams, Room 20, Law Building, Toledo, O. RUSSIAN WOMAN'S LONG WALK Tramps Over Four Thousand Miles Into Siberia to Secure Release of Husband, but Falls. Anna Siumina, the wife of a small mercant in Riazan, has just returned from Siberia afoot, after having failed to get her husband pardoned. Siumina was convicted of forgery three years ago and sent to Siberia for seven years. Six months after his departure she raised money enough to follow him to a small town beyond Irkootsk, where he was in prison. She set out to get him liberated by showing to the governor of Irkootsk proof of his innocence. But the governor succeeded in convincing her that her husband was guilty. Her money being all gone, she made up her mind to walk back, a distance of 4,500 miles. She has now done so, spending more than two years on the way. With the exception of two lifts, of about 300 miles, she walked the whole distance. When asked by the chief of police of Raizan how she felt after the dangers and trials of so long a walk, all she answered was: "Oh, all right; a little tired, that's all." Her case was brought to the notice of the czarina, who has placed Anna's three children in a good school. Carried a Coin in His Leg. The proverb of the bad penny has had a curious corroboration. A French sou, a coin about the size and value of a cent, has just been extracted from a soldier's leg after remaining there thirty-two years. Lecuxer is the soldier's name and he served in the war of 1870. This sou, which bears the effigy of Napoleon III. and the date 1856, was in his pocketbook when he was struck by a German bullet, which drove the coin into his thigh. The ball was extracted, but the sou was left. Latterly a tumor formed and the coin had to be cut out. It will be presented to the museum of Bazeilles. How It Is Qualified. Call a young man a puppy, or an old man a brute, and their indignation will know no bounds, says the Kansas City Independent. Call the young man a sad young dog, however, and the old man a gay old dog, and you tickle them to death. An Economical Minister There is a minister in Middletown, N.

As one of the good, kind ladies was walking along the tier after the church was over, saying kind words to the unfortunate sons of Adam, she stopped in front of cell 602 on the sixth floor.

Saved His Life Whitehall, ill., June 8th.—Mr. Lon Manley had Bright's Disease and after his home doctor had treated him for sometime he finally told him that he could do nothing more for him, and that he would surely die. A friend who had heard of what Dodd's Kidney Pills had done in cases of Kidney Trouble, advised Mr. Manley to try a treatment of this remedy. He did so and everyone was surprised and delighted to see an improvement in a very short time. This improvement gradually kept on as the treatment proceeded, till now Mr. Manley is well. He says: "The doctor said he had done all he could for me. He gave me up. Afriend advised me to take Dodd's Kidney Pills, and in a few weeks I was nearly all right again. "I am not dead, and can truthfully say that I feel better today than I have for years. Dodd's Kidney Pills are a wonderful remedy and I will always praise them and recommend them to everyone suffering as I did." Mr. Manley's recovery has caused a profound sensation, as no one ever thought he would recover. Not His Affair.—"How did you account for the rotation of the earth on its axis?" asked the professor.

Mrs. Robert Broderick who resides at 1915 Virginia St., in San Antonio , Texas, tells an experience that will interest every reader. It shows as well that Doan's cures are lasting cures. She says: "—Up to the early part of the year 1902 I had been a sufferer from kidney troubles for many years. The pain in my back became worse and worse until it was a daily burden that interfered with every duty. I was much afflicted with headaches and dizzy spells and was unable to rest well nights. In May 1902 after using Doan's Kidney Pills I made a statement for publication declaring that they had entirely relieved me of the pain in my back. I have since then had a year's time in which to study the effects of the medicine, and while I have had slight touches of the trouble since, the use of the pills has always driven away all signs of the disorder and I have become convinced of the fact that the first treatment was practically permanent in its effects, and I know that a box of Doan's Kidney Pills kept on hand is a sufficient guarantee against any suffering from the kidneys or back. I should advise every sufferer to take Doan's Kidney Pills, and I know that they will be surprised and pleased with the result." A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mrs. Broderick will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

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