TRADE SCHOOL COUNCIL CLEVELAND 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. Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court Brewer urges "proper legislation" for mob violence and lynching, and is right in so doing. The states, however, and not congress, should, and eventually will have to, enact the proper laws. Judge Brewer also very properly calls those who engage in lynching murderers, and is the first prominent member of the government's official family, and especially of his branch of it, to speak so strongly and so publicly. More power to him. Southern chivalry (white) is slowly but surely reaping what they have been sowing these many years while lynching. The dispatches to the daily papers last week told of a mob's breaking into the jail at Flemingsburg, Ky., securing a white man by the name of Wm. Thacker, who had been given a life sentence for the murder of John Gordon (white) two years ago, and taking him out to a tree near the jail, where he was hit on the head with a rock and his unconscious body strung up in a tree until life was extinct. This sort of thing is bound to increase just so surely as the lynching of Afro-Americans continues. It is but a short step from the lynching of the latter to that of the former, and the step will grow beautifully less as the months slip by. The Cleveland Plain Dealer of a recent date in closing an editorial on "Justice Brewer on Lynching," said: "Proper legislation' will not stiffen the backbones of sheriffs nor will it arouse courts to the necessity of expediting criminal trials. More laws would in all probability mean only the more laws to be violated." Our esteemed contemporary is wrong, and it ought to know it. Ohio's experience since the passage of its famous anti-lynching law in 1896 is positive proof of the correctness of the position we take, and in direct opposition to the Plain Dealer's misstatement quoted above. "Proper legislation" does "stiffen the backbones of sheriffs" and does "arouse courts to the necessity of expediting criminal trials." Ohio, the only state in the Union that has "proper legislation" against mob violence and lynching, furnishes the proof of this, and our esteemed confrere can get it very easily with a little effort. SECRETARY MOODY ON LYNCHING. In our last issue we took exceptions to some things the Hon. W. H. Moody, secretary of the navy, was alleged to have said in a recent speech anent lynching and "the total lack of proper legislation against the evil;" also what we felt was an unfair comparison, in the following language, at the same time sending the gentleman a personal communication along the same line of thought: Someone should inform Secretary of the Navy Moody that there is one state in this Union that has an effective mob violence or anti-lynching law, and that the state is Ohio. His recent speech or interview on lynching makes it clear that the distinguished gentleman lacks this information. While we admit that Ohio has had some lynchings prior to the passage of its anti-lynching law and one since, we will not admit that the secretary is correct when he classes any lynching held in this state with the unfortunate Belleville, Ill., or Delaware affairs. All lynchings are most distressing, however. To this, Secretary Moody replied as follows: Washington, D. C., July 18, 1903. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 16th instant and to thank you for your courtesy and interest in calling my attention to the Ohio enactment against mob violence. I ought to say in my own behalf, however, that the sentence you refer to was not a part of my Fourth of July speech, but gained currency in a very badly reported interview which ascribed to me several statements that were as remote as possible from what I said in my conversation with the reporter. The statement you quote was entirely different in its form and meaning when published from the remark I made and does not at all reflect my thought. I take pleasure in enclosing you a slip containing what I did say on the Fourth of July during the exercises on the White House grounds. Yours very trudy, What the secretary did say, and all he said relative to mob violence and lynching, is contained in the following paragraph: "The impartial enforcement of the law is the essence of a pure democ- racy. However else they may differ, whether in intelligence, in wealth, or race, or color, or ability, all men are equal before the law, and the laws which are enforced equally for and against all should be respected by all. The remedy for any wrong should be sought under the law and in the courts which represent the majority of the people's will. Any departure from this sound principle in any part of the land is a contempt not only of the courts themselves, but of the people who have created the courts. Mob violence puts every man's rights to the doubtful determination of men inflamed by passionate resentment and maddened by the thirst for revenge, renders our voice feeble when raised against oppression elsewhere, and displays a barbarity which shames the nation in the face of the world. Let this people whose government has been called a government of laws and not of men fix upon those who hold themselves above the law and wiser than the law the seal of their condemnation." This certainly rings true. No doubt of it. That is doubtless the very reason the Associated Press liar at Washington so garbled this portion of the speech as to make what the newspapers throughout the country printed "entirely different in its form and meaning," and "as remote as possible from what" the secretary really said. THEY DISCUSSED LYNCHING. Praise for the Editor of the Gazette and His Anti-Lynching Law-The A. M. E. S. S. Findlay, O. — Seventy delegates were present to attend the thirtieth annual Sunday-school convention of the north Ohio conference of the A. M. E. church. The day's meeting consisted of a session in the morning, afternoon and evening. The last session concluded with a banquet to the visiting delegates at the local church. Among the prominent visitors were: Rev. W. J. Johnson, of Cleveland; W. H. Lucas, president of the conference; Rev. H. W. Janey, of Van Wert; Rev. C. D. White, of Lima; Rev. Charles Bundy, P. E., of Cleveland, and Rev. Ira Collins, of Toledo. Among the topics discussed with spirit were race prejudice and lynching. The editor of The Gazette came in for much unstinted and very warm praise for his Ohio anti-lynching law, the only thing of the kind in the country and a grand success. It puts our state and people in the lead. A TALE OF TWO CITIES. A Comparison of the Cost of Operating Street Railways in Cleveland and Cincinnati. Cincinnati, July 23—The Star says the "topography" plea in traction service has been hit hard by the recent report of the United States census department. Cincinnati street railway interests have asserted that they must charge higher fare than Cleveland, because much more power is needed to operate cars on account of the hills. Cleveland, it was said, being a comparatively level city, could operate cars more cheaply. The fallacy of this contention is shown by the census report tables. In 1902 the total power required to operate the Cleveland lines was 38,000,000 kilowatt hours. The total for Cincinnati was 31,000,000 kilowatt hours. It therefore required 7,000,000 kilowatts more to operate the car lines in the level city of Cleveland than in the hilly city of Cincinnati. The daily output was 85,000 kilowatts in Cincinnati and 105,000 kilowatts in Cleveland. 23 per cent. more for Cleveland than Cincinnati. The Cleveland lines carried 102,377,725 passengers in 1902, and the Cincinnati lines 94,273,255. The census report shows that the Cincinnati Traction Co. has 702 cars with electrical equipment, and Cleveland's city lines 810 cars. The dividends paid in Cincinnati amounted to $1,079,366, of which the stockholders of the traction company received 5 per cent. on the $2,000,000 capitalization. The total dividends in Cleveland were $900,000, including those of the Cleveland City and Cleveland Electric roads. In Cincinnati there were 69,000,000 cash fares; that is, not including transfers. In Cleveland there were 81,000,000 cash fares. From this it will be seen that out of every cash fare in Cincinnati 1.56 cents went into dividends, and out of every cash fare in Cleveland 1.11 cents went to dividends. City Made a Bad Bargain Cleveland, July 23.—In examining the deed of property supposed to have been purchased from the Big Four railroad many years ago for the Central viaduct right of way as a possible location for a city garbage plant, President of Board of Service Springborn has made a sensational discovery. The deed for the property is dated June 7, 1886, but instead of owning any property Mr. Springborn says the city simply paid $45,000 for the right to put in the supports and build the viaduct in the air. He says the city doesn't own a single inch of the land under the viaduct; that the railroad can do as it pleases with the property, but still the city must pay the taxes on it. A Mob Chases Two Sheriff's Glencoe, Minn., July 23.—A mob is said to be in pursuit of Sheriffs McKensey and Hartley, who started at noon Wednesday from here to convey Joe Scott, the negro assailer of Helen 'Olson, to Watson, the scene of his crime. At Minnesota Falls a small crowd was awaiting the train bearing the officers, and the sheriffs were advised that they would not be able to get their prisoner to Montevideo. With drawn revolvers the officers faced the mob, forced their way to a buggy and then started full gallop for Glencoe. Minnesota Falls is 70 miles from Glencoe. Garrison Succeeds Petty. Washington, July 23.—John R. Garrison, of the treasury department, has been appointed auditor of the District of Columbia to succeed James T. Petty, whose displacement is the result of the recent alleged embezzlement of $73,000 of the funds of the office by James M. A. Watson, a clerk. Mr. Petty has been given an opportunity to resign and if he fails to do so his removal will be ordered. For all kinds of hair work ladies should patronize Mesdames Minton and Walker, of No. 562 Central avenue, near Laurel street.

An Answer to Those Who Claim That It Is a Failure. Conditions, Which, It Is Held, Justified the Statesmanship of the Reconstruction Period—Blaine, Boutwell and Schurs Quoted in Reply to Recent Statements. To the Editor of The Herald The Herald of March 4 says editorially: "It is now, we think, generally recognized that a mistake was made at the close of our civil war in according suffrage generally to the emancipated negro," and on March 6 you say that the federal government could have and should have limited the right to vote "to those who possessed sufficient education to obtain a position and that slight property qualification * * * without the least discrimination as to color," should have been required. Apparently, you assume that by your scheme a number of negroes sufficient to have political influence would have been enfranchised, and would have participated in the reorganization of the rebel states. To satisfy you that such an assumption is unwarranted, it should be only necessary to remind you that, up to the close of the civil war, the negroes did not own even the rags that covered them, and had been kept in ignorance through laws that made it a crime to teach them to read and write. Evidently your plan would have limited the suffrage, at least through the period of reconstruction and for many years to follow, to white men, and would have left the question of reorganization to be settled exclusively by white men of the negroes who were not only unalterably opposed to the enfranchisement of the negro, regardless of his character or attainments, but who were avowedly determined to hold him in servile subjugation. Whether or no my characterization of the attitude of the confederates toward the negro is justified, you will judge when you have considered the evidence I shall offer. As a matter of fact, at the close of the civil war, the suffrage was not, as is often assumed, accorded "generally to the emancipated negroes." That was the last, not the first act, in the history of reconstruction. The first act consisted in the establishment of provisional legislatures elected by and composed of white men only, as the legislature did daily. As soon as the legislatures were convened they enacted atrocious laws applicable especially to the colored race. These laws regulated the relations between master and servant. The Legislature of Alabama was bold enough to use the term, "former owner," when providing for a cruel apprenticeship of minors. In the same state "stubborn and refractory servants" were declared to be "vagrants" to be taken before a judge of the case, as they amounted $50, and a default of payment they were to be hired on three days' public notice, for six months. Laws were ingeniously framed to deprive the colored man of the right to contract for his own labor, or to receive the benefits of his daily toll. The South Carolina Legislature compelled colored men wishing to be mechanics to pay $10 for a license, while for the privilege of being a shopkeeper an annual payment of $100 was demanded. For an extended report of and comment upon this iniquitous legislation, let me refer you to Blaine's "Twenty Years in Congress." That the revival of slavery, so far as it could be revived, was intended, there is no room for doubt. Neither can there be any question as to their fairly repre In order to learn existing conditions, in the summer of 1855 President Johnson sent the Hon. Carl Schurz into the southern states on an observation and investigation tour. Mr. Schurz then stood high in the councils of the nation, and his report was accepted as an intelligent and impartial statement. He said, in part, that, in his judgment, it would "hardly be possible to secure the freedman against oppressive legislation and private personal pressure, be endangered by a certain measure of power." He declared that "the emancipation of the slaves is submitted to only in so far as chattel slavery in the old form could not be kept up, and although the freedman is no longer considered the property of an individual master, he is considered the slave of society, and all independent state legislation will share the tendency to make him such. The ordinances abolishing slavery passed by the conventions under the pressure of circumstances will not be looked upon as barring the establishment of a new form of servitude. Regarding the loyalty of the white People, Mr. Schurz explained that there was an entitlement that of national spirit which forms the basis of true loyalty and patriotism." White southern loyalty, he said, "consists in submission to the necessity." In view of the testimony of Mr. Schurz and much more of like tenor of many others, all of which was fully confirmed by the legislation of the white provisional legislatures any reconstruction that denied or postponed the rights of the freedman to be restored to former master would be foilish, wicked, and disastrous. This was the judgment of the patriotic statesmen of that era. They represented a vast majority of the people of the North, who were in no mood for trifling, but were resolved that the blood shed and the treasure wasted by the civil war should be for a possible rebellion needed for by a rebellion of the Union that would preclude all possibility of another rebellion, based upon a demand for state rights or for slavery in any form. They were resolved that the overthrow of slavery should be complete and final. Congress at once placed the union of the South, whether black or white, under protection of the Federal government. This accomplished, measures were taken to submit the 14th constitutional amendment to the people. By this amendment, the laws through which the provisional governments had attempted to re-enslave the negro were swept away. The freedman was invested with the rights and dignity of a citizen of the United States. He was not enfranchised, but he could no longer be the victim of penal state laws designed to hold him in servile subjugation. The rights and benefits conferred upon him were simply those to which every human being is entitled, whether he be black or white, drunk or sober, criminal or virtuous, ignorant or educated. Had the rebellious'states accepted this amendment, Mr. Blaine and other high authorities declare they might have re-entered the Union without further conditions. Tennessee accepted it and was the first to be re-admitted. The others, 10 in number, the provisional government, rejected it with contempt. Commenting on this fatal defeat of the Southern Bourbons, Mr. Garfield, then in Congress and subsequently President of the United States, said: "I call attention to the fact that from the collapse of the rebellion to the present time, Congress has undertaken to restore the states lately in rebellion by co-operation with their people; and that our efforts in that direction have proven a complete and disastrous failure." The constrain one to the full height of the great occasion. It did not meet all I desired in the way of guarantees to liberty, but, if the rebel states had adopted it as Tennessee did, I should have felt bound to let them in on the same terms prescribed for Tennessee. I have been in favor of waiting to give them full time to deliberate and to act. They have deliberated. They have acted. The last one of the sinful 10 has at last, with contempt and scorn, flung back in our teeth the magnanimous offer of a generous nation. I now our turn to act. They would not cooperate with us in building what they destroyed. We must remove the rubbish and build from the bottom." A complete surrender to the southern confederacy being out of the question, our government was confronted with two alternatives, either to hold the South under military subjection indemnitely or to enfranchise the negro. At a critical period of the war, wartime had appealed to the right for the life of nation and nearly 200,000 of his race had enlisted in the army. Braver or better soldiers never wore the federal military uniform. Again we asked him to help save the Union, not by military service but by political action. Ignorant he might be, but his loyalty was undoubted and he could be relied upon to bring back the seceding states with governments that would conform to the constitution of the United States would, so far as law could accomplish it, secure to every law in black or white, poor or rich, unpleasant or exalted, of freeman. On the 21st of March, 1867, Congress passed a reconstruction act, of which Sec. 5 reads, in part as follows: That when the people of any one of said rebel states shall have formed a constitution of government in conformity with the constitution of the United States in all respects, framed by a convention of delegates elected by the male citizens of said state, 21 years old and upward, of whatever race, color or previous condition, and that said state, by a vote of its Legislature elected under said constitution, shall have adopted the amendment to the constitution of the United States proposed by the 29th Congress and known as art. 14, and when said article shall have become a part of the constitution of the United States, said state shall be declared entitled to representation in Congress," etc., etc. the colored men responded promptly. Conventions were held, constitutions formed and approved by the people, state governments organized, legislatures elected and the 16th amendment ratified. Under the protection of the federal government every man, black or white, who went to his cast his ballot without let or hindrance. On Feb. 26, 1869. Congress passed the 15th amendment, by which impartial suffrage became the fundamental law of the country. Any one who will read the Congressional Record of the reconstruction period, or the more accessible work of Mr. Blaine referred to above, may learn that the suffrage was not conferred upon the negro in order to humiliate the rebels; was not hastily accustomed to indulge in such think, the outcome of "a purely political interest based on a desire to secure votes for their (Republican) party and maintain it in control of national affairs." The record shows that it was arrived at only by slow and well considered steps, and was only resorted to after white rule had been patiently tried and had failed. To what extent Congress, in its decision, was inspired by the paper addressed to and published from a letter addressed to and published by The Boston Herald on May 18, 1900, by the venerable ex-Secretary George S. Boutwell. As much of this letter as is necessary for the purpose follows: "Permit me to say that you err in an editorial article of this date, entitled 'Objectionable Partisanship, in a sentence which I quote, as follows: 'There was a plan in the Republican party, after the war was over, to utilize the colored vote of the South to procure its own political control in that section.'" "As I was a member of the committee that reported the 14th amendment to the constitution, and as I was also a member of the committee that reported the 15th amendment, I have the means of knowing that the purpose indicated in the constitution was not intended by the committee, nor was it suggested by any member of either committee. If it had been this purpose of the Republican party to obtain political control in the states that had been in rebellion, an expedient method was open before them. It was in the power of the Republican party at that time to have disfranchised all the men who had been employed in the confederate armies, or to have disfranchised large numbers of persons who, in one way or another, had conceived a way of objection. By the 14th amendment, in a new official form, we disfranchised upon the condition that they could be restored to a full citizenship upon application to Congress, and by a two-thirds vote. "The history of what occurred shows that all those who made application were restored without delay and without controversy. The object of the amendment is that only To secure to the colored population country, North as well as South, an equality with the white population to the privilege or right of voting. It was known to the committees and to Congress that it would be in the power of states to provide a property qualification and white alike, or an educational test that sons, black and white, and that such regulations would be beyond the control of the courts. When the amendments were proposed and adopted, it was known that Massachusetts had an onerous test, and there was no thought in the path of any one that such a test would be invalid under the proposed amendments." This testimony by such a witness ought to end forever the modern attempts to belittle the motives of the great statesmen responsible for negro suffrage, and who, in the opinion of many, had been in the midst of times, were guided by a lofty feeling of patriotism, a solemn sense of duty and a wise understanding of the questions of the hour. You believe they made a "mistake." We believe their act was necessary for the establishment and preservation of the republican form of government through the protection of the negro and the development of a higher civilization in the South. It would be taking too much of your valuable space to recite here what the bestowal of full citizenship upon the negro has accomplished for him and the bittersweet opposition to his participation in politics, even simply as a voter. The judgment of posterity, I believe, will be that it was not only a necessary act of justice, but was a measure of the highest statesmanship. That the constitutional amendments will be reapplied to the constitution, it will be ultimately enforced I firmly believe. The folly of calling the adoption of the amendments bearing upon reconstruction a mistake will, in the progress of events, be fully realized. If a mistake was made, it was not when the loyal freedman was enfranchised, but when full political rights were restored to unauthorized persons, and aggrieved slaveholders, were themselves still under bondage to the spirit of slavery. Recently it has become almost a "fad"—I use the term because the assertion is not to be taken seriously—to assert that negro suffrage is a failure, and apparently the public is expected to accept the assertion as a self-devised proposition, for no one takes the trouble to furnish the evidence. Until it is furnished, let me suggest as an antecedent, if not a counter proposition much more in accordance with the facts of history, that in the South white suffrage is a failure. Most certainly the whites have not attempted to utilize the ballot as a means to develop either in themselves or in the freedmen a higher appreciation of the facts of history. No many of them have used it—supplemented by fraud, persecution, terrorism, violence and murder—as a potent weapon in their effort to degrade the negro to the condition of social servitude. RICHARD P. HALLOWELL, Boston, March 19, 1803. SEASHORE EXCURSION. Midsummer Outing at the Ocean Lawn Frog at Penguin's Lines Low Fares via Pennsylvania Lines. The annual excursion to the Seashore via Pennsylvania Lines for the season of 1903 will be run Thursday, August 6th. Excursion tickets will be sold on that date to nine of the most attractive resorts on the Atlantic Coast, viz: Atlantic City, Cape May, Anglesea, Avalon, Holly Beach, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Wildwood, N. J., and Rehoboth, Del. The round trip fare to either of the resorts named will be $13.50 from Cleveland. Proportionately low fares from other ticket stations on the Pennsylvania Lines. The return limit on excursion tickets will be twelve days, including date on which they are sold. This will allow ample time for a delightful sojourn at the seaside, and cover the customary ten days' vacation. The date of the excursion, August 6th, occurs at a convenient season for an outing. Business is generally at a standstill in August, and absence from home can readily be arranged. The mercury usually reaches the highest point the forepart of August, therefore it will be a pleasing diversion to spend a week or two in the invigorating ocean breezes and experience the unlimited pleasures which may be enjoyed at the ocean resorts. Further information about the Seashore excursion, special train service, etc., may be ascertained by consulting nearest Ticket Agent of the Pennsylvania Lines, or by addressing C. L. Kimball, A. G.

Superintendent Hedges, of Texas Loses His Position. He Is Charged with Falsifying His Diary, Loaning Traveling Commission and Collecting Illegal Expenses—Hedges Thinks Dismissal Is Unjust. Washington, July 23.—Charles Hedges was yesterday removed from the office of superintendent of free delivery of the postoffice department on the charge of falsifying his diary and loaning his traveling commission. It is charged that he reported himself at various places when in fact he was not at those places on the dates mentioned, in some instances being hundreds of miles away. Mr. Hedges, while making no general denial of the charges, contended that they were not sufficient justification for removal. Ervin H. Thorpe, postoffice inspector in charge at New York, who has been assisting in the administration of the free delivery service since the inception of the investigation, has been designated acting superintendent of free delivery in place of Mr. Hedges. The following is the official statement of the case made public by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow: "Charles Hedges was today removed from the office of superintendent of free delivery for falsifying his diary and loaning his traveling commission. He reported himself at various places on public business when in fact he was not in those places on the dates mentioned, but elsewhere, in some instances hundreds of miles distant. On October 25, 1900, he states under oath in his diary that he was at Joplin, Mo., on 'extension of free delivery service,' when in fact he was in Mansfield, O., attending the funeral of ex-Secretary John Sherman. "On December 7, 1899, he reports himself at San Antonio, Tex., 'investigating carrier service,' while in fact he was in Mexico examining mining property. In October, 1899, A. W. Machen, superintendent of free delivery, was sick with typhoid fever and Hedges was at the department acting as superintendent. In his diary he states, under oath, that he was at various places, namely, New York, Philadelphia,a, Bridgeport, Conn.; Camden, N. J., and elsewhere, 'actually engaged in traveling on the business of the free delivery service.' "Assistant superintendents of free delivery are allowed a per diem of $4.00 per day in lieu of expenses for each day engaged actually traveling on the business of the department. Hedges' false statements as to his whereabouts on these days were manifestly for the purpose of collecting per diem to which he was not entitled. "There are many other instances of similar falsification. The facts were submitted to the postmaster general some days since, who directed Hedges' removal for the reasons above set forth." The case was worked up by Post-office Inspector George Sutton, assisted by Inspectors Bennett and Jones. There were several charges on file against Mr. Hedges, but none of these constituted the basis of his dismissal. The acts which led to his removal were discovered by the inspectors in the course of their general investigation of the records of the free delivery office. The case has been under investigation for several weeks. Mr. Bristow summoned Mr. Hedges shortly before the close of office hours yesterday and notified him of his dismissal. Mr. Hedges reiterated his contention that his dismissal was not warranted. A Tornado Strikes Paterson. Paterson, N. J., July 23.—A terrific tornado visited this city yesterday. During the blow, which lasted about three minutes, one man was killed and at least half a dozen injured. One house was blown down, more than a score of buildings were unroofed and havoc was done to trees, fences, signs and awnings. Half a dozen men were at work jacking up a house. When the tornado struck this building it collapsed. Joseph Van Dam was buried under the wreckage and killed. Four other men were caught, but were dug out alive though unconscious. Two other men were injured in other parts of the city. Refuses to Open Manchurlan Ports. Refuses to Open Maucherian Ports. Pekin, July 23.—Prince Ching, of the foreign office, has written to United States Minister Conger refusing to open towns in Manchuria. In his letter he dwells upon the impossibility of China opening to foreigners towns which are not in her possession, but which are held by Russian troops, and points out the complications which will be likely to follow. It is believed here, however, that a compromise may be reached by including one town—Ta Tung Kao—in the commercial treaty. Five Miners Drowned. Mahanoy City, Pa., July 23.—By the bursting through of a large body of water that was impounded in an abandoned section of Eilangowan colliery, of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Co., just before quitting time last evening, five miners, all foreigners, were drowned like rats in a trap. Considerable coal accompanied the rush of water, making it impossible to reach the bodies. Botched Their Job of Suicide. New York, July 23.—Gerald Jordan, a promoter, who gives his age as 42, and his wife, Laura, 20 years younger, made two attempts at suicide yesterday. Mrs. Jordan says that they came to an agreement to kill themselves and swallowed laudanum. The poison did not take full effect and the couple drank more of it. Mrs. Jordan apparently relented after the second dose and called a doctor. Mrs. Jordan recovered rapidly. The man was slower in responding to treatment. His wife says he has lost everything. Eastbourne, England, July 23.—The British steamer Middleham Castle, which sailed from Antwerp for Galveston recently, ran down the Swedish brigantine Svithiod yesterday 13 miles southeast of Owner's lightship. Six of the Svithiod's crew were drowned and three were landed here. $200,000 Fire Loss. Lexington, Ky., July 23.—Imp, Mirthful, John E. Madden's $100,000 thoroughbred stallion, burned to death in his stall at Hamburg Place yesterday. The barn was destroyed. The loss will reach $200,000.

Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter how much you love them, others, yourself may be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is the right time to realize the right Medium, while the successful people all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping others, and brought thousands to success. For advice by letter $1.00.

SHEA, PETER H. To 761 Fulton Street, Brooklyn DR. ELLARSON, 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 fatter 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; can give thousands of 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 who you are. Ellarson gives health and satisfaction or you will find it lucky to consult this refined Christian physician and wonderful Medium. Has a medicine that will cure drunkenness, patients, not knowing it. Thousands are now saying. RICH. HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL In all their undertakings while those who neglect Dr. Ellarsson's advice are still laboring against poverty and adversity. 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 been the curse 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. 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. ELLARSON understands thoroughly the diseases, spells and influences the race is subject to. And the lives has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: New York, Nov. 14, 1902—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 I did not. I went back, 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 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 go or write to 651 Fulton street to Dr. Ellarson at the coronation. By Dr. Ellarson's wonderful powers I know all the right days. If any one wants to know 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 wanted to meet him in day and night. I gave him up as dead, but hearing him cry, Dr. Shea was doing. I resolved to consult him. 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 Dr. Shea one in our midst who can help people 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 a friend to give me such relief. Mary E. Harrison's 3019 prince avenue, Brooklyn, Newark, Sept. 14, 1902. — state that I was sick with a mysterious disease and 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 620 Sylvan street, Dr. Ellarson, a most kind and sympathetic physician of wonderful insight and power, what a time cured me sound and well. I can truly and heartily recommend Dr. Ellarson to all those in distress 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 to use my name in the paper as I want every time you have helped me so much. I cannot tell you I was grateful I am and how much I thank you. I was glad helpless in bed and no one seemed to help me my brother went to you and got something which 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, 1902.—Dear Dr. Elliarson: I will pen you these few lines to let you know how much your treatment has done; for me, I am without ache or pain, fainting me. Feel how much your girl. When I think of how long I suffered before 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 above. Has been carefully educated in the best medical schools.

When they get out they seem to forget that education means quiet manners, and not loud, boisterous talk, mixed with vulgarisms. The other day we chanced into an establishment owned and controlled by a Negro. It is a neat place and a compliment to our people. At the time, a bevy of our "swell set" were "enjoying" themselves. They could be heard a block and their familiarity was marked to the point of disgust. When such conduct is observable among the "smart set" what can be expected from the socially, mentally and morally submerged? — Topeka (Kan.) Plain Dealer. COME AND SEE MISS FLORA B.

A young Japanese compositor employed on a Japanese paper hardly a stone's throw from the Mail and Express building was riding down town in a city hall train the other morning. He was engrossed in his morning paper and paid little attention to the other passengers. But a fresh-looking young man who sat next to him, and who had been eying him all along, suddenly said: "What sort of a 'nese' are you, anyhow? A Chinese or a Japanese?" The little Jap was not caught napping. Quick as a wink 'he replied: "What sort of a 'key' are you, anyway: "What sort of a 'key' are you, anyway; a monkey, a donkey or a Yankee?" a monkey, a donkey or a Yankee? The fresh young man had no more to say, and left the train quickly when City Hall station was reached.—N. Y. Mail and Express. He Feels Good. Caddo, Ky., July 20th.—"I believe I could climb a mountain without drawing a long breath," is the way William Ball, of this place, describes how he is feeling. As Mr. Ball has been on the sick list for a long time, this declaration from him comes as quite a surprise. When asked to explain how he had become so strong in such a short time, he says: so strong in such a short time, he says: "I did have Kidney Trouble very bad, in fact I had to get up four or five times every night to urinate. I had shortness of breath which distressed me terribly. I was badly used up, and was really of no account for anything. "I used three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and that's what has made me well. I can sleep all night without having to get up. I feel splendid and as I said before, I believe I could climb a mountain without drawing a long breath. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it all."

CONSUMPTION UNCLE SAM'S NAVY. Something About the Service That Produces Such Fighters as Dewey and Farragut. USS OHIO Copy by Adelaide Everhart During the past few years much has appeared in the public prints about our Navy; however, but little has been said about the routine life aboard ship and the duties of the man behind the gun and furnace. The new battleship Ohio will shortly hoist the Stars and Stripes, and sail for foreign shores, to watch over and defend the rights of our great country; and there are many young men who would delight to serve on her, if they only knew what they could do and how to join. The Ohio is a first-class battleship of enormous size, weighing 16,000 tons. She will carry a battery of twenty heavy guns and many smaller ones, and her crew will consist of about 800 men—just to think that it takes a whole regiment to man one of these magnificent ships of war. A modern man-of-war is a mass of machinery. so that, besides seamen, many skilled mechanics are required: Machinists, electricians, carpenters, plumbers, boilermakers, copersmiths. THE SHIP engineers, in fact, nearly every kind of skilled labor has its representative on board. Also there are commissary stewards, musicians, stenographers, bakers, cooks, hospital stewards, and men of many other vocations. In this respect the Navy differs from the Army, for all these men have work to do in their own particular trade. The Navy offers unusually good opportunities for machinists, as they have work to do in all branches of their trade and thus avoid the piece work grind of their brothers of the factory. Young men without a trade can enlist as landsmen and are instructed in the trade of seaman. Many such have risen to the grades of seamen, and petty officers within a couple of years. The pay of landsman is $16 a month and from that it goes upward. The wages of mechanics are fixed to meet those paid on land, and, of course, board is furnished in addition. Also, on first enlisting, a complete outfit of clothes and uniforms are given free. Electricians get as high as $70 a month, and other craftsmen in keeping. Upon every re-enlistment men receive an increase in pay, and, after a certain length of service, they are pensioned for life. About the physical requirements, the minimum height is five feet four inches, and a man of that height must weigh 128 lbs. and measure 33 inches around the chest. The tallest man to be enlisted is six feet one inch. He THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1903. must weigh 176 lbs. and his chest must be at least 36 3-4 inches in circumference. Waist measure is not important, but one must not be absolutely obese. Physical ailments of a chronic nature keep a man out. His teeth must be good, or in good repair. Eyes, hearing and heart action must be perfect. No concessions are made on this score. Upon enlisting, the recruit is sent, at government expense, to one of the Navy Yards—at New York. Philadelphia, Boston or Norfolk—where he is fitted with uniforms and is instructed in the rudiments of Naval life; how to tie up his hammock, to brush and fold his clothes, to carry himself with military bearing, etc. Those with trades are instructed with reference to their particular duties on board ship; for instance, machinists familiarize themselves with marine engines and boilers; carpenters with boat building, etc. After gaining a fair knowledge of Copy by Adelaide Everhart naval requirements, the recruit is transferred to a cruising man-of-war and becomes a full fledged man-of-war's man. Here he is open to advancement according to his ability. He arises at reveille, lashes his hammock, and has breakfast. About 9 o'clock all hands go to muster and drills. Drills in the Navy are of great variety, and, hence, do not become monotonous. Thus, they have boats under oars and sail; great gun drills; fire drills; infantry; artillery; fencing; pistol practice; clear ship for action, etc. As regards amusements, every ship has her racing boat, base ball nine and foot ball team; and there is much rivalry between the different ships. And many have their minstrel troupe, which is a source of great pleasure to the ship's company and their friends. Also, ships of the first class usually carry bands of sixteen pieces, and there is a concert every evening except Sunday. It does not do, however, to suppose that life in the Navy is all play, for a sailor has his hard work and privations as well as any one else. However the life is an unusually healthy one and, all other considerations thrown aside, it is well worth the while for a young man to serve at least one enlistment in the Navy for the experience alone. Many young men want to join the Navy, but do not know how to go about it. It is only necessary to write to the Bureau of Navigation, Navy Department, Washington, D. C., and the necessary information will be given by the officials there. Also, recruiting officers are being sent through the country in order to give those living in the interior the opportunity to enlist; such a party is now in Ohio and will visit the following places: Dayton, Ohio, July 20 to 25; Columbus, Oh.o. July 27 to August 1; Huntington, W. Va., August 3 to 8; Charlesburg, W. Va., August 10 to 15; Parkersburg, W. Va., August 17 to 22; Newark, Ohio, August 24 to 29; Wheeling, W. Va., August 31 to September 5; Pittsburg, Pa., September 7 to 12. THE NAVAL APPRENTICE. There is a branch of the Navy which is of particular interest to boys and this is the Naval Training Station, at Newport, Rhode Island, where boys between the ages of 15 and 18 are received as apprentices, and taught in all branches of the naval seaman's trade. These boys, later on, have the best opportunities for advancement, as they are given the preference in appointments as petty officers and warrant officers. The Newport Training Station is situated on Coaster's Harbor Island, near Newport, and the government has recently added to the establishment a large building in which boys are quartered, and drilled in inclement weather. They are taught boxing, fencing, how to tie sailor knots, how to make sails, to row and sail boats, to drill as soldiers; and many other things. There is a good gymnasium there and, in the summer, the boys are required to learn how to swim. A boy serves at the Training Station about a year, when he is promoted to a second class apprentice and sent to a training ship, where his nautical education is completed; and then he is transferred to a regular man-of-war. The training ships usually make a cruise to the West Indies, and opportunity is given to visit points of interest. Only boys of good character are enlisted, and the Navy Department is very strict in its requirements on this score—a bad boy is promptly dismissed from the service as undesirable. After transfer to a sea-going man-of-war, a boy can easily attain the rate of first-class apprentice, and, if diligent and attentive, he is eligible for promotion to coxwain. Attached to the Training Station, for seamanship drills, is the famous old frigate Constellation, a full rigged ship, which has won many a hand to hand fight, especially during the war of 1812. On her, the boys are taught how to reef and furl sails and there is always rivalry among them as to which is first aioft. Rivalry in Prayer. The small boy lifted up his voice and wept. "I've prayed and prayed and prayed to have it stop snowing," he wailed, "and it keeps on snowing just as hard as if he hadn't said a thing." He was too young to be made to understand that "faith without intelligence is vain," and yet his mother did not want to upset his simple belief. "It must be," she suggested, "that another little boy is praying to have it keep on snowing, and he is praying harder than you are."—N. Y. Tribune. A Reason for It. "Those little arbors and cozy nooks cost something," explained the proprietor of the summer hotel, "but we consider them a mighty good investment." "They attract people to the place, I suppose," commented the thoughtless stranger. "Oh, it isn't so much that," returned the proprietor, "but they encourage love affairs, and that enables us to save something on the provisions."—Chicago Post. This is No Joke. "Did it ever occur to you—" began the man who thinks it's up to him to start something. "Did what ever occur to me?" asked the easy mark, who swallows the bait, hook and all. "That the things people want to know the most is usually none of their business," continued the party of the first part.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Mindful of the Forms The timid young man at the picnic hastily asked his sister to introduce him to the young woman in the blue shirt waist. "Miss Tippitt," said his sister, "this is my brother, Mr. Tappitt." "Gl-lad to meet you, Miss Tippitt," he said. "Pardon me for mentioning it, but you are sitting on a bumblebee's nest."—Chicago Tribune. An Odd Flashing "The devil's shoe string" is the line by which some persons in Oklahoma catch fish. The "string" is a bush. It is beaten into a pulp and thrown into the water. The stream assumes a milky color and the fish are thus poisoned.

Wood Arrives at Manila-A New Currency to be Put in Circulation. Manila, July 20.-Gen. Leonard Wood arrived here Sunday. He will confer with Gov. Taft and Gen. Davis on the Moro question and will leave shortly for Zamboanga to organize the government of the Moro province. The government will today commence the circulation of the new currency authorized by the United States congress at its last session. Considerable difficulty in adjusting it to conditions here is anticipated. It is expected that the circulation of the new currency will be limited, because the Mexican coins will continue to be legal tender until December. The merchants use Mexican coins because they are cheaper and their purchasing power is equal to the new coins. It is believed that the entire year's crops will be handled in Mexican money. The court of inquiry into the charges of cruelty brought against Maj. R. L. Howze has gone to Laoag to investigate the charges formulated through Gen. Miles and Maj. Hunter. All the American witnesses in the case have gone to the United States and an inquiry will be necessary there. The carabao which the government imported to restock the plantations have been attacked with hemorrhagic septicemia and the mortality is heavy. The disease is apparently incurable. RURAL FREE DELIVERY. Ex-Postmaster General Smith Answers the Criticisms of a Civil Service Commissioner. Philadelphia, July 20.—Ex-Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith has written a letter to Postmaster General Payne in reply to a communication sent to the postmaster general by John R. Proctor, president of the civil service commission, in which the latter criticized the administration of Mr. Smith during his term as postmaster general. The main points to which Mr. Smith takes exception are Mr. Proctor's attack on the classification of persons at postoffices on the establishment of free delivery and the alleged "packing" of the rural free delivery division of the department in anticipation of its classification. On the first point Mr. Smith says the law provides for classified post-offices when the receipts reach $10,000 a year, and on the second point he states that the statute, not the department, puts the clerks of new free delivery offices into the classified service. Refused to Arbitrate. Spokane, Wash., July 20.—President Lynch, of the International Typographical union, and Commissoner Driscoll, of the American Newspaper Publishers' association, who, as a national board of arbitration, came here ten days ago to consider an appeal by the Spokane union from the award recently made by a local board of arbitration reducing wages in the composing room of the Review Publishing Co., have failed to accomplish the object of the trip and have adjourned sine die. The failure resulted from President Lynch refusing to assent to the selection of a third arbitrator. Set a Date for Trial Races. New London, Conn., July 20. After a tempestuous night, which the combined fleets of the New York and Eastern Yacht clubs fortunately rode without serious accident, there was a meeting yesterday on board the Corsair of the America cup committee and the regatta committee of the New York Yacht club. At this meeting it was decided to have the trial races for the selection of the America's cup defender against Shamrock III sailed off Newport during the week of July 27. Mob of Negroes Attacked a Jail. St. Louis, July 20.—The jail at Brooklyn, a suburb of East St. Louis, across the river from here, was broken open last night by a mob of negroes, whose desire it was to lynch one of their own color for an attempted assault on a negro woman earlier in the day. William Carter, the negro prisoner, was hurried to the jail by Village Marshal Speed, who took him in a roundabout way to East St. Louis for safe keeping after the mob had broken open the doors with a railroad tie. Russia Wants to Fight Japan. Pekin, July 20.—According to diplomats here the greatest factor in the eastern situation is the increasing danger of war between Russia and Japan. They believe it is becoming plain that Russia is willing to fight Japan if convinced that no other powers will assist her. The Russians are confident of their ability to easily defeat Japan and are said to be anxious to settle definitely her position in eastern politics and end her ambitions to oppose Russia's progress in Manchuria. The Abbot and Major Demar to Race Albany, N. Y., July 20.—A match race for a purse of $2,500, 75 per cent, to the winner and 25 per cent, to the loser, has been arranged between W. J. Scannell's The Abbot, with a record of 2:03 $4, and A. P. McDonald's Major Debnar, with a record of 2:05 $2. The race is to take place at Island park, near this city, during the circuit races on July 29. John Kelley, otherwise known as "Directum" Kelley, is to drive The Abbot, and Mr. McDonald will drive his own horse. A Franco-Spanish Alliance. Madrid, July 20.—The king has approved the new cabinet which has been constituted by Marquis Vilaverde. Ex-Premier Silvela, who submitted his resignation, together with that of the cabinet, declared yesterday that Spain's interests in the Moroccan question required her to have a strong army and a strong navy and he advocated an alliance with France to preserve, as far as possible, the status quo in Morocco. The Imperial, commenting upon the speech, says it constitutes a categorical declaration of a Franco-Spanish alliance. A Terrific Explosion. Roanoke, Va., July 20.—By the explosion of a large quantity of dynamite and blasting powder stored in a magazine near Pearisburg, Gils county, Saturday, two men were killed outright, 16 were more or less injured and about 100 others severely shocked. Westbound passenger train No.1 on the Norfolk & Western was going at full speed past the magazine, which was located 200 yards from the tracks, when the explosion occurred. The windows of the train were broken and not a single person on board escaped injury. A CONSTANTLY increasing number of physicians prescribe Peruna in their regular practice. It has proven its merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so called patent medicines and recommend it to their patients. "I Advise Women to Use Pe-ru-na," Says Dr. Gee. Dr. M. C. Gee is one of the physicians who endorse Peruna. In a letter written from 513 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal., he says: "There is a general objection on the part of the practicing physician to advocate patent medicines, but when any one medicine cures hundreds of people, it demonstrates its own value and does not need the endorsement of the profession. "Peruna has performed so many wonderful cures in San Francisco that I am convinced that it is a valuable remedy. I have frequently advised its use for women, as I find it insures regular and painless menstruation, cures leucorrhoea and ovarian troubles, and builds up the entire system. I also consider it one of the finest catarrh remedies I know of. I heartily endorse your medicine."—M. C. Gee, M. D. Mrs. E. T. Gaddis, Marion, N. C., is one of Dr. Hartman's grateful patients. She consulted him by letter, followed his directions, and is now able to say the following: "Before I commenced to take Peruna I could not do any hard work without suffering great pain. I took Peruna, and can say with pleasure that it has done more for me than any other medicine I have ever taken. Now I am as well as ever; I do all my own work and it never hurts me at all. I think Peruna is a great medicine for womankind."—Mrs. E. T. Gaddis. Women are especially liable to pelvic catarrh, female weakness as it is commonly called. Peruna occupies a unique position in medical science. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession today. Catarrh, a every one will admit, is the cause of one half the diseases which afflict mankind. Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict one-half of the people of the United States. If you do not derive 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.

"Weehawken, Hoboken, Poughkeepsie, and ever so many others, don't you know!" "I suppose they do sound queer to English ears," said the American, thoughtfully. "Do you live in London all the time?" "Oh, no," said the unsuspicious Briton. "I spend part of my time at Chipping Norton, and then I've a place at Pokestogg-on-the-Hike."—Boston Christian Register. The Thousand Islands.
