The Gazette

THE GAZETTE. ALL IND PRINTING TRADE S 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. The campaign in Ohio this fall will come very near breaking the record. It will be a hot one. We predict the election of a republican governor (Col. Myron T. Herrick, of this city), and a democratic assembly which will elect a successor to M. A. Hanna, Ohio's lily-white senior senator. The Colored American, of Washington, D. C., has not been issued for several weeks. This is the second performance of the kind in recent months and is a very natural outcome of that fellow Ed. E. Cooper's questionable practices in a business way. There isn't an Afro-American in the business for whom there would be so little sympathy as Cooper is receiving. Our old friend and esteemed confere, Editor M. M. Lewey, of the Pensacola (Fla.) Sentinel, "is a hustler from way-back." His paper of August 21 was but another of his many special issue successes. The Sentinel was "jam-full" of news and splendidly illustrated. Accept our sincerest congratulations and best wishes for continued and deserved success, Brother Lewey. The Democratic congressman of the Seventh Louisiana District, has informed our people of his district through the leading minister, who was chosen as their representative, that they would not be allowed to build a high school at Natchitoches (in the district). This is the real thing, the thing itself!—an exposition of the true feeling of a majority of the whites in many towns, villages and communities of the South. The Kentucky Standard's article "On the Ohio Campaign," in its issue of August 22, must have been written by some one under the "inflounce," judging from the way Senators Hanna and Aldrich's names were mixed as candidates for re-election to the United States senate subject to the vote of Ohio's assembly next winter. There is, however, about as much chance of Aldrich's election as Hanna's, and the former is not even a resident of this state. The London, England Globe in discussing President Roosevelt's letter on lynching, said: "The employment of atrocious tortures in the lynching of Negroes throughout the United States reveals a strain of barbarism in the American character which is a blot upon the white race." And the Globe is quite right. "Strain of barbarism in the American character" is good, VERY GOOD. Dispatches to daily newspapers last week announced that Rev. Dr. M. C. B. Mason of Cincinnati, senior secretary of the Freemen's Aid and Southern Educational Society, in speech before a Chautauqua Assembly in Binghamton, N. Y., had created a sensation by saying that industrial education would not solve the "Negro Problem." What surprises us is that any one was silly and thoughtless enough to ever believe that it would. The so-called "Negro Problem's" solution is a combination of many influences, only one of which is all kinds of education. "The pretty little story" going the rounds of the race press to the effect that Captain Charles Young of Ohio, now stationed at Presidio, California, in command of his company, made four white soldiers salute his coat after they had refused to salute him with it on, is doubtless nothing but a story, hardly a "pretty little" one either, from a race viewpoint. We refuse to believe Capt. Young that kind of a "Booker Washington" member of the race. Certainly the Young we knew was not. Those "soldiers" would have saluted him with coat on or would have been severely dealt with according to the rules of the army, and promptly, too. An Alabama Afro-American by the name of Sledge had a fine watermelon patch. A party of white scoundrels working on the public road near it, asked and were granted permission to eat a few melons. Sledge told them to be careful of the vines and all would be well. This they refused to do and tried to see how many they could injure in addition "to cutting and slashing melons, right and left." Sledge warned them to stop and went for his gun. Meantime melons and vines were suffering. When he returned there was more suffering, for he shot into the party of ruffians, wounding nine of eleven. Sledge then fled, knowing full well that in that section of the country an Afro-American dare not kill a white brute to protect even his wife or daughter, ayel even his mother's honor. Of course the Sheriff immedi- ately headed a posse of "chivalrous" Southerners who overtook and ordered Sledge to surrender. His reply was sent from his shotgun, instantly killing two of the party. Later on two whites undertook to arrest him. Result—one of them shot dead in his tracks and the other mortally wounded. O! for more Sledges! They would do more to solve the so-called "Negro Problem," and in less time, than ten thousand Booker Washingtons and all the wealth, education of all kinds, and religion the race could get in a hundred years. Thank the Lord, the tribe of Sledge is slowly but surely increasing among our people in the South and the North. WHIPS A WHITE WOMAN THIS TIME. Accounts of the whipping of a white woman on the penitentiary farm at Milledgeville, Ga., continue to attract widespread attention. The name of the white woman is Mamie Decrist, who had been sent there for the theft of some jewelry. Allagood, the warden claims that she was impudent to his wife and for this she was whipped. But women have been flogged on the penitentiary farm before and nothing said about it. Why then all this consternation now and why should the press demand the most rigid investigation? Women have groaned, agonized and died at the hand of the cruel officer and nothing done. Why tell of the superintendent who bitterly condemned the cruelty? Why speak of the barbarous scourging, the frightful beatings and bruises which move the blood to quicker speed? Have not women been subject to these terrible ordeals before and have not wardens of workhouses been flogging women all along? Oh, but he beat her unmercifully, rendering her back a network of torn, quivering and bleeding flesh, presenting a spectacle too horrible to look upon. Lacerated and fainting, she laid the victim of helplessness and pity. Of course, it was all wrong to inflict such torturing punishment upon the back of any woman. It would seem, however, from the long practice of scourging women upon the penitentiary farms that Americans had not only become accustomed to these outrageous dealings, but had consented to them. True enough: But the subject at hand is a white woman. No matter for that, it is a woman and it is a crime against American civilization and should not and must not be tolerated. Wardens and keepers have too long been allowed to indulge in this brutality and Negro women have borne the pangs of long suffering and abuse for the same reason that Mamie Decrist was thus beaten, namely, for trying to maintain her chastity. The outcry comes to the public that a white woman has been whipped without mercy upon her bare back. Let this then be a warning to every man irrespective of color and especially let every white man who has it in his power to defend the right, see to it that no individual who bears the name of woman shall be allowed at the instance of any cruel tyrant to be thus punished. It is a deed of the dark ages and it comes from the South. HYPOCRISY AND THE GOLDEN RULE. Rev. Sam Jones poses as an evangelist and like Paul goes through the country exhorting men and women to repentance. In emulation of the Savior's example, he weeps and mourns for the fallen of Adam's race. He pleads the brotherhood of man and in the deep agony of his soul sheds hot, burning tears for wayward and hardened sinners who will not be saved. We fancy we hear him now in some sequestered spot lifting his voice to Heaven, exclaiming "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." He believes that of one blood, God made all Nations, and with the tongue of an angel he pleads the cause of poor suffering humanity. Like the blessed Savior he professes to be no respector of person and deems it a gracious privilege to be called an humble advocate with the Father of men. In his great missionary work through many parts of the country he delights to assemble with the colored brethren and with them show himself a witness for Christ. To all men and races he proclaims a free and untrammeled gospel, a pure and undefiled gospel replete with the spirit of charity and love for every creature. But very recently Brother Jones seems to have been talking through his hat and has wandered far back among the flesh pots of Egypt. The old man has grown weary of his platitudes or has lost his base. Certainly it is the right and duty of all men to disapprove and denounce crime under whatever guise, and it is right that the person who commits a heinous assault should be denounced in the most unsparing terms. We are the last of all men on earth to defend such a guilty wretch. But let us see if Mr. Jones is square on the Golden Rule. The record shows that white men and black alike are guilty of this heinous assault. But Mr. Jones ignoring this fact, says there is not much difference between a wild beast and a Negro who attacks a white woman. Mr. Jones would have shown a degree of Christian magnanimity had he said "There is no difference between a wild beast and the person who attacks a woman." He compares ignorant Negro criminals to wild beasts. Why should he not have compared ignorant vicious bad men to wild beasts? Had he done this there could have been no encroachment upon the Golden Rule and no betrayal of a base and truckling hypocrisy, catering to the worst and most villainous hatred to the Negro. Mr. Jones betrays littleness of soul and a meanness of heart that disqualify him to fill the place of a Christian minister. He favors this system of robbery which denies a black man the right of the ballot and panders to the vilest and worst passions of bad people when he favors any unjust encroachment upon our Federal Constitution. Mr. Jones is not sincere. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1903. Continued from First Page:) Ravenna.—Mrs. J. Linder, of Akron, was the guest of her sister, Mrs. W. C.

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 found that Dr. Shea was dead; but I found a good friend and friend the best friend I ever had. That friend and larson, 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 11 a.m. I was very wonderful powers I was cured all 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, named for him night and day. I gave him up as dead, and I wondered wonderful things Dr. Shea was doing, resolved to find 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 both there is one in our midst who can help孵出 children when they are in sore trouble of mind as I was. S. Lenhart, 1790 Third avenue. Brooklyn, May 3, 1902.—I went to Dr. Ellarson when I was so sick I thought I would die. Dr. Ellarson cured me and made me feel like a new person. I am thankful to the good spirit that led me there and to God for pointing me to such a good friend to give me such relief. Mae P. Harrison, 193 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn. Newark, May 4, 1902. I wish to state that I was sick with my nervous disease and in great trouble and distress for long time. No one seemed to understand my case 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 65 old synagogue street, Dr. Ellarson, a most kind and sympathetic physician of wonderful insight and power, who in time curved me sound and well. I can trump and 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. Elliott: Your welcome letter safely to hand and I hasten to answer the same. I can truly say your medicines have done me the good in the world, and you are welcome to come in the paper as I want every one to know how you have helped me so much.

The individual (white) that hit Dennis Fowler a fearful blow on the top of the head with a cane, knocking him unconscious from a Scovill avenue car at mid-night some weeks ago, was given $25 and costs (aggregating about $85) in police court on last week Thursday afternoon. He struck Dennis because the latter reproved him in a gentlemanly manner for making an insulting remark about our people when a car passed that was pretty well loaded with Afro-Americans. The case was called twice and postponed at the request of the prejudiced individual's attorney. He offered Dennis $5 to settle, so the latter says, but the offer was refused, of course. The 12th ward precinct meeting in the parlors of Woodliff hall on Tuesday evening, turned out to be a general one and was attended by about 50 persons. Col. Myron T. Herrick, Republican candidate for governor, Mr. Herman Baehr, candidate for recorder, and others on the ticket attended and made short speeches. Attorney James Stewart, a candidate for state senator, told a skunk story which was robbed of much of its pithiness because he felt it necessary to drop the Negro dialect in which it should have been told. Mr. Herrick requested Afro-American political factionists to bury their razors in this campaign, assuring the audience that his people's factionists would bury their knives. W. J. Crawford, who has never been accused of having too high an opinion of our people, the man mainly responsible for the great mistake in last spring's convention which resulted in the nomination of Henry Eubanks, ex-headwaiter of the Weddell House, poked fun at the latter by referring to him as a man of education, etc. These were the most distinctive features of the meeting outside of the little tete-a-tete which took place at its close, between Col. Herrick and the editor of this paper. This latter concluded with a hasty retreat upon the part of the colonel, who thereby admitted his inglorious defeat. It was a friendly set-to, however, and explained to our excellent candidate for governor why the great mass of Afro-American republicans of this county will not vote for Eubanks on election day. The reasons have been repeatedly given in this paper and are in brief; that Eubanks opposed the election of the Afro-American candidate on the republican ticket in 1899; that he supported Tom L. Johnson for mayor as against Hon. W. J. Akers, the republican candidate in 1901; and that both in an intellectual and representative capacity as well as others, Eubanks is not by far a proper candidate nor was he the choice of our people for the nomination. When his name was mentioned in the meeting by one of the speakers, not even one hand-clap greeted the announcement. His defeat on election day is generally conceded. Naval Station to be Re-established. Naval Station to be re-established. Washington, Aug. 27.—Because of the increased American interests on the Pacific coast, it has been decided to re-establish the South Pacific station and to maintain a squadron there of from three to four cruisers. The cruiser Cleveland, which will have her final trials next week, and her sister ships, the Denver, Des Moines, Galveston and Chattanooga, the first two of which are nearing completion, will be ordered to the Southern Pacific and placed in command of a rear admiral as soon as commissioned. Ithaca, N. Y., Aug. 27.—County Judge Almy yesterday committed Lewis Bloom, aged 76, to the state insane hospital at Willard. For several months Bloom has been possessed with the hallucination that matches are coins and as he had collected hundreds of boxes of them he considered himself possessed of fabulous wealth. His peculiarity was first noticed when he began attempting to make purchases with lucifers. He several times recently attempted to burn his house. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 29. 1903. BY CLOSE MARGIN. Reliance Again Beats Shamrock Off Sandy Hook. A Very Pretty and Hard-fought Contest Over a Triangular Course At Every Point of Sailing the Defender's Superiority Was Demonstrated. New York, Aug. 26.—In a glorious breeze over a triangular course, ten miles to a leg, the fleet-footed cup defender Reliance again on Tuesday showed her heels to Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger, taking the second race of the cup series of 1905 by the narrow margin of one minute and 19 seconds. It was as pretty and as hard a fought contest as has ever been sailed off Sandy Hook, and, had the wind not fallen during the last ten minutes, the record for the course, three hours, 12 minutes and 15 seconds, made by Columbia two years ago on her memorable race against Shamrock II, would have been broken. As it was, Reliance sailed the 30 miles within two minutes and 39 seconds of the record, which speaks wonders for her speed in the wind that was blowing. Reliance's victory, narrow as it was, would have been even smaller had not Capt. Wringe, the skipper of the British ship, bungled the start, sending its craft over the line 19 seconds after the last gun and handicapped her to that extent. At every point of sailing the defender's superiority was demonstrated. She gained one minute and 51 seconds in windward work, 40 seconds on the run to the second mark, and 45 seconds on the close reach for home. An assemblage of excursion vessels almost as long as that of last Saturday poured down through the Narrows and out into the broad Atlantic to witness the vanishing glory of the challenger. The spectators watched the jockeying for the start with eager interest. It seemed momentarily, as if their spars and hulls would clash, but they wheeled and circled like gulls, tacking, gybing and putting about with wonderful ease and grace. At last when they bounded across the line, close hauled for the thresh to windward, it was seen that the American skipper by his extremely clever work had again out-generalled his rival and secured the weather gauge. Not only was the challenger's captain defeated in his effort to secure the windward berth, but he actually failed to cross in time to save a handicap, an almost unpardonable sin in a cup contest. Barr never relinquished his advantage after the start, holding the challenger under his lee all the way to the first mark. All the ocean going tugs and many of the steam yachts were left astern in the race. Just before the finish the wind died down, but Reliance went across in ample time to win, having covered the last ten miles in 57 minutes and 40 seconds. Then followed the usual riot of whistles, mingled with the wall of sirens, the clamor of bells, the exultant shouts of patrots and the booming of cannon. Shamrock was about a mile astern and crossed four minutes and 40 seconds later, to a repetition of the riot which had welcomed Reliance's victory. New York, Aug. 24—In a splendid breeze, over a windward and leeward course of 30 miles, the gallant sloop Reliance on Saturday beat Shamrock III in commanding style by exactly nine minutes actual time, or seven minutes and three seconds after deducting the one minute and 57 seconds which the Defender concedes to Sir Tnomas Lipton's third challenger on account of her larger sailing plan as at present measured. It was a royal water fight for the ancient trophy which carries with it the vachting supremacy of the world. Cloudburst Caused the Big Blue River to Rise 16 Feet—Marysville Deluged—Houses Submerged—People Take Refuge in Trees. Marysville, Kan., Aug. 26.—A cloudburst struck in this vicinity early yesterday, causing the Big Blue river to rise 16 feet within a few hours and sending a great flood of water down the bottoms along that stream. Many inhabitants in the lowlands were driven from their homes and heavy damage to property was done. One death by drowning is reported. Marysville was deluged and the bottoms were filled with water from 10 to 15 feet deep. Fifty houses were almost entirely submerged, their inmates taking refuge in trees and on house-tops. Seventy-five persons had been rescued in boats by daylight, and by noon 20 others were taken to places of safety. The storm washed out the tracks on the Blue Valley branch of the Union Pacific for several miles and telegraph and telephone wires were down, cutting off outside communication till late in the day. One of the rescuing parties was headed by Congressman William A. Calderhead, The river is falling now, although farms for miles around will be under water for several days. South of here at the town of Blue Rapids, the Blue river rose to within a few inches of the highest point of the June rise, causing much damage to farm property. A wall of water struck Vliet, a town of 1,000 on the Vermillion river, east of here, in the same county, driving the residents from their houses. The Vermillion rose four feet in an hour and Vliet is five feet under water. Two Women Drowned. New York, Aug. 26.—In the gale yesterday two women lost their lives in Jamaica Bay. They were Mrs. John Holm and her sister, Miss Rasmussen, of Brooklyn. They went sailing in a cat boat with Mr. Holm and the boat was upset about half a mile off shore. In the heavy sea that was running, all three found it impossible to reach the boat and started to swim ashore. He was picked up by a sailboat. The two women were taken from the water by a party in a steam launch, but they died without regaining consciousness. Endorsed Gray for President. Scranton, Pa., Aug. 26.—The Lackawanna county democratic convention yesterday adopted a resolution recommending Judge George Gray, of Delaware, for the presidency of the United States. Judge Gray was president of the coal strike commission which brought to a settlement the great anthracite strike in this section. Americans Win at Cricket. Toronto, Ont., Aug. 26.—The international cricket match was finished yesterday, the Americans winning by a score of 277 to 130. ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY!!

HER FIRST FAMILY FUNERAL Something Entirely New to the Widow and It Made Her Nervous. The afternoon was hot and sultry. Every passenger in the waiting train was mopping his brow and wishing that the train would hurry out of the station, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. The oppressiveness was made doubly oppressive by the entrance of a woman in deep mourning. "I'd think she'd melt under that hot veil, whispered, one girl to another. All eyes centered on the woman of sorrow. The somberness of her garb made the train seem almost sepulchral. But the worst was yet to come. A man, who had been noticed as her companion, had stopped at the cooler to get a drink. The woman quietly arose, stepped into the aisle, and called to the man: "Felix, don't forget the body. It'd be an awful joke if the train got to Calvary and him not aboard." Everybody in the car shuddered. Then she turned to a woman sitting behind her and said: "It's my husband. It's the first time I ever had anything to do with this kind of a thing, and it makes me nervous." The Question Answered. Estill Springs, Tenn., Aug. 24th.—Many questions are being asked of Mr. C. D. Holt of this place in regard to his wonderful recovery. For two years he has been down with his back. He was so very bad that he could not even lace his shoes, and from this condition he suddenly appeared well and strong as ever. It is no wonder therefore that his friends are asking him "How did you do it?" He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney Pills did it," and adds "This remedy is a genuine good medicine and one that I can heartily recommend to everybody." "Everyone around here knows how very bad I was. I was so weak in my back that I couldn't do anything that needed stooping or bending over, and three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills made me as you see, as well as ever I was." "They certainly had a wonderful effect on my case." BEGGAR GIVES CREDIT. But He Doesn't Relish the Practice That Some People Have of Putting Him Off. Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister to Washington attended in Philadelphia the recent launching of the Turkish warship Medjidia at the Cramps' shipyard. During the luncheon following the launch Chekib Bey animadverted for a moment to the beggars of Philadelphia, says an exchange of that city. "You have here," he said, "an enterprising and intelligent collection of beggars. One of them approached me this morning. He told a moving tale of misfortune; then he asked me for a little money. "I put my hand in my pocket, to find that I was altogether out of change. "My man, I said, 'I have nothing for you now, but in an hour I shall be passing this way again. Then I promise you you shall get something from me.' "All right, sir, said the beggar; 'but all the same, he added, frettily, 'you wouldn't believe the amount of credit I give in this way.'" Empire State Express in Foot-Ball. The New York Central's Empire State Express is recognized as the swiftest and earliest train operated by America's greatest railroad, and considered the very best means to cover the ground in the time required. It is for this reason that the Harvard University football team named their best and surestplay of the season of 1902 the "Empire State Express," for they believed it to be the most reliable play in their programme. It was successful throughout the season until it met Yale's "20th Century Limited" play, which was just as swift, safe and sure, but had longer endurance and was "limited" only by the size of the field. The names of the rival teams very correctly describe the difference in the famous trains, the "Empire State" running only from New York to Buffalo, while the "20th Century Limited" makes the 980 miles between New York and Chicago in twenty hours every day of the year. Great is the New York Central and great are the trains it operates—swift, safe and reliable.—From the Brooklyn Standard Union.

Having attained the goal of his ambition by perfecting an arrangement for pianos, after laboring day and night for more than 12 years George M. Guild, a pianoforte manufacturer, of Boston, died on the day that the first royalties came to him. His death, due to heart failure, was induced by reaction at the realization of his achievement. In his career as a manufacturer he sold 45,000 pianos. Three times he met great financial losses by fires, but his spirit could not be conquered. Owing to the idleness of a large number of the union sheet mills of the American Sheet Steel Co., it is probable that a meeting or the advisory board of the Amalgamated association will be held shortly for the purpose of declaring the non-union mills of the American Sheet Steel Co. open mills, to enable the idle sheet workers of the Amalgamated association to secure employment in them. C. F. Cassidy and his 4-year-old son Vernon were burned to death in a fire which destroyed their home five miles south of Newberry, Mich.

Emperor William has added his fifty-fourth residence to the fifty-three he already owns, by buying the estate of Damm-Muehle, called "The Pearl of Brandenburg," for $500,000. It was owned by a country squire, Von Mollank. The present residence will be rebuilt and converted into a hunting castle. At Shawnee, Tenn., Cyrus Robinson shot and killed Frank Davis during a quarrel arising over the marriage of Davis to Robinson's sister. After Davis fell, his little sister seized the pistol and tried to kill Robinson, but the latter fled and escaped. By the end of August the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. will have reduced its working force by about 1,500 men. An official when asked the reason for this retrenchment, said: "We are handling as much freight as ever, but we have been working under too great an expense. The discharge of so many men will not affect the system, nor does it mean that business is decreasing." A Chicago & Northwestern passenger train from Chicago was wrecked near Eden, Wis. George W. Zuhke, of Fond du Lac, was killed. Conductor Moy, of Chicago, and 30 passengers were injured. The entire train express car baggage two thrown down a 20-foot embankment. At Frankfort, Ind., a blow with the fist which broke the victim's neck caused the death of Harvey Thomas. Thomas quarreled with Harry Loveland, and the latter is alleged to have struck the fatal blow in the fight which followed. John Foley, New York's pioneer reformer, who brought the famous injunction suit which ended in the rout of the Tweed ring, is dead. Beginning with his election as a supervisor in 1869, he started a single-handed fight against "Boss" Tweed and did not let up until the famous ring was swept away. After his fight against the Tweed ring he became recognized as a formidable foe to municipal corruption. J. P. Jordan & Co., wholesale paper dealers, of Boston, have assigned for the benefit of creditors. The trouble is attributed to impairment of credit and heavy losses.

At Henderson, Tex., Joe Sanders, a negro accused of having attempted a criminal assault on a young girl, was shot to death by a posse of citizens. Sanders was standing in his door holding a shotgun when the men approached. While Robert Murphy, a wealthy citizen of Brinton, Pa., was taking a nap some one entered the room and stole his false teeth. Murphy sleeps with his mouth open and the thief was attracted by the gold placed in the teeth to make them look natural. Stephen B. Roath, of Chicago, has divided half of his wealth among relatives in Norwich, Conn., the gifts aggregating about $1,000,000. At Pittsburg about 400 men are idle at the Continental mill of the National Tube Co., a subsidiary concern of the United States Steel Corporation, because the annual wage scale has not been signed. The Continental has been running steadily for ten years and the action of the men in quitting was a surprise to the management. The Boston & Albany railroad machinists' strike has been settled. A compromise proposition was accepted. The strike affected 340 skilled mechanics. For an act of bravery and kindness performed during the civil war, Daniel Prime, a negro, living at Easton, Pa., is reported to have been bequeathed $5,000 by Jonathan Moore, of Jackson, Mich. The French steamer Admiral Gueydon, of 3,013 tons, which sailed from Marseilles July 15 for Colombo, has not since been reported and has been given up for lost. There were 57 persons on board the vessel. Robert Kilpatrick was hanged in the jail yard at Media, Pa., for the murder in February, 1902, of Elizabeth Bearmore, his housekeeper.

One bullet passed through his wife's body, and physicians say she cannot recover. No burglars were found. The street railway strike at Richmond, Va., against the Passenger and Power Street Railway Co. has been formally declared off. The strike was inaugurated several months ago. Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, believes he has a cancer cure. His theory is that any cancer, which begins on the surface, can be cured by the introduction of fresh blood from a healthy subject into the blood of the person affected. By this means, Mr. Edison believes, the seat of the disease can be attacked by uncontaminated germs possessing the strength to conquer the malady. The inventor says he will let surgeons and scientific physiologists work out the problem. Kolb's bakery, occupying about a block in the southern section of Philadelphia, was destroyed by fire recently. The loss is estimated at $150,000. Ten small dwellings in the rear of the bakery were badly damaged. Twelve of the bakery employees were in the building when the fire started and all narrowly escaped with their lives. According to mail advices from Shanghai several hundred lives were lost in the great floods at Chee Foo.

The presidents of seven international building trades organizations, namely, the hod carriers, building laborers, structural iron workers, brick masons, painters and decorators, plasters, and carpenters and joiners, have had a two days' meeting at Indianapolis that may result in the organization of a national federation of building trades for the purpose of supporting each other and arbitrating differences. GAINES, PA., August 3, 1903.—"I received your sample of Dean's Kidney Pills and since have taken two boxes, and I can truthfully say they are as good as they are recommended to be. When I began taking them I could not bend my back enough to pick up a stick of wood—sometimes could not walk or move my feet—had two doctors but did not get relief. I saw your ad., and got a trial box and have taken two besides, and I am able to do a very hard day's work. Dean's Kidney Pills are a God-send to humanity."—Mrs. ELLA A. MATTISON, Gaines, PA., Box 186. Very Penetrating. Some years ago there was an old judge on the bench in Berks county, whose decisions, in consequence of numerous reversals, did not always command universal respect. One day in a case in which he was resitting, one of the lawyers lost patience at his inability to see things in a certain light, and in the heat of the moment, remarked that the intellect of the court was so dark a flash of lightning could not penetrate it. For this contempt the judge showed a disposition to be very severe with the offender, and it was only after much persuasion by friends of the latter that he yielded and decided to accept a public apology. The following day the lawyer, accordingly, appeared before his honor and made amends by saying: "I regret very much that I said the intellect of the court was so dark lightning could not penetrate it. I guess it could: It is a very penetrating thing."—Kansas City Star. M. K. & T. Ry. Annual Seaside Excursion.

"Well, sir," said the Egyptologist, "we find remains of wires in Egypt which prove they understood electricity!" "Pshaw!" answered the Assyriologist. "We don't find any wires in Assyria, and that shows they knew wireless telegraphy." -Youth's Companion. The Summer Bath: Nothing is more refreshing or invigorating in summer than a daily bath. Use soft, tepid water and good soap. Ivory soap is ideal for the bath; it is pure, lathers quickly and leaves the skin soft and white.
