We are in receipt of a letter from Capt. Chas. Young confirming our statement relative to the "pretty little story" going the rounds of the press and having reference to him and some white soldiers who it is alleged, refused to salute him. One sentence from the captain's letter is as follows: "You know not a word of it could be true." Read his letter elsewhere in this paper. DR. DOWIE FAVORS INTERMARRIAGE. At this present period in our history it may not seem to be just the thing to do that the races should amalgamate and it may not be expedient and wise that the blacks and whites should intermarry. But the noted Dr. John Alexander Dowie, the prophet of the Zion Christian Catholic church, takes this view and we are willing to admit the force and logic of the argument. Dr. Dowie is a white American Catholic, but he has announced his views without fear or favor and without stint or equivocation. He believes in the universal brotherhood and he accepts the doctrine that we are all members of one great family. Upon these propositions he bases his premises. "I trust," says he, "that we shall have marriages in Zion from all the families of the one great race upon the earth, for there is but one race." Dr. Dowie submits an undeniable truth. There are many families but from one blood sprang the families of earth. Moses married the African woman and those who grumbled were the fools, for those who grumbled not were able to recognize the truth of the declaration that of one blood came all nations. In that birth-right all men were endowed with equal rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and those who could not appreciate this law of justice were of all beings the most consummate knaves. Dr. Dowie is an American Catholic but his pure wisdom and high Christian magnanimity stamp him as a son of the royal family. He loves the expression of an honest conviction and he would surrender none of manhood as a base concession of the principles of the eternal law of right. The Lord said, "My servant Moses is faithful in all mine house," and he exhorts his southern brethren to forget it not. God found no displeasure in Moses, because he married one of his own children and a member of the human race. His supreme sense of propriety and common justice forbade such an encroachment upon his great law of right and in no sense did he tolerate in the least any discrimination among his creatures or the slightest infringement upon personal liberty. God would not have been God did he recognize any other than this universal law. Planting himself upon this law, Dr. Dowie in all candor commits himself to the duty of espousing a cause which he believes to be the only safe and sure method of eliminating the present difficulty involved in the race question. In fact, the question is plain and admits of no possible controversy as against the position taken by the learned and fearless Dr. Dowie. Prejudice is the child of ignorance and it cannot successfully combat truth. Dr. Dowie is sustained by the irrevocable law of right and justice. A BLIND ATTEMPT TO DIS QUALIFY THE NEGRO. Hon. W. M. Cox, West Point, Miss., in an article, discusses the "race problem" from an educational standpoint. Properly considered, there is no such thing as a "race problem" under our system of free government. The attempt to force conditions contrary to the principles of our federal constitution is a libel upon American liberty. But to force conditions in keeping with the constitution, at once eliminates the idea of a "race problem." No citizen in the exercise of his five senses is warranted in discussing the question, whether one citizen shall be educated and another not. That question has been long since settled under the new amendments to the constitution. The man is little less than insane who argues in favor of enforced restrictions upon the education of any race of people and he is morally dishonest to advocate such proscription. Restriction upon the education of the peoples' children under whatever circumstances would be an outrage upon human liberty and foul handed injustice to humanity and God. To demand that one race shall be made subservient to the whims, caprices and prejudices of another would be to subordinate the designs and purposes of the Almighty to wicked and barbarous ends. No man is honest, no man is moral and Christian who substitutes oppression for reform, and he is a traitor to birthright freedom who challenges the right of any individual to liberty and happiness when he demands them for himself. Hon. W. M. Cox with all his splendid learning and syllogisms is in gross and unpardonable error. Says he: "Many of the most enlightened people of whom we know have been morally corrupt. * * * But the qualities which have made the 'Anglo-Saxon' race great and progressive are moral rather than intellectual." Right here Mr. Cox begs the question. The world admits the enlightenment and culture of the American people, but it does not and cannot concede to them a superior and substantial moral life. On the contrary, the seed of corruption was planted on the James river in 1619. It grew and contaminated the whole social system. Like a creeping leper, it stealthily found its way into every settlement, into every town and city, until our great cities, north and south, are steeped in immorality, iniquity and vice. Crime is uppermost everywhere and but for the wisdom, the culture and enlightenment of the people, we would be hopelessly undone. From that fatal hour when Eden felt the blight of the forbidden fruit, the crime of disobedience, of sin and immorality, has been working sad havoc in every home and family. Education does not essentially eradicate sin. Nothing but the grace and saving power of Jesus Christ can do that, but education develops the mind and the soul, and serves as a helpful agency in quickening the faculties of our intellectual and moral being and points on to the better way. Now, says Mr. Cox in answer to the people of the north touching the moral condition of the Negro prior to his introduction to America: "During a history of 400,000 years, he (the Negro) has never developed a civilization, a polity, a literature or a religion." In this respect Mr. Cox betrays a sad ignorance. Civilization came in Africa. Out of Ethiopia came the light which emblazoned the whole world. Egypt, Greece and Rome were resting in the gloom of night, while Ethiopia with her magnificent cities and machinery of government was reigning in glory and splendor. The torch of civilization was handed on from Ethiopia to Egypt, from Egypt to Greece, from Greece to Rome and all over the enlightened world. Euclid gave the first geometry, Candees built our first cities and Africa rocked the world's civilization. Yet, says the writer: "The Negro has never known any government, but the rule of a master, any good, save the gratification of his animal instincts and instead of degrading him, slavery elevated him." Ah! but in the face of facts sustained both by the light of history and the Bible, it is impossible to pervert the truth of ages. Heroditus tells of the first powerful nations of earth once flourishing in the Ethiopian country. He tells of their great cities and empires, of men magnificent in form and grand in stature, and he offered them as the glory and pride of the civilization of mankind. But American slavery, the worst in kind, degraded and demoralized the Negro and ingrafted into the heart of the white man, the master, a feeling of barbarity and fiendishness and practices of immorality and vice, which alike deprived and corrupted his nature and rendered him a slave to passion, to brutality and crime. In this part of the discussionion Mr. Cox seemed actuated by prejudice and passion. But prejudice is blind and passion is treacherous; neither is without bias and neither can be depended upon. Mr. Cox advances a mistaken theory that of the two races the one must be subservient to the other or they must coalesce. There will never be a coalescence. History records no fact where a learned and progressive people have been absorbed by the other. The Jews afford a standing proof that education itself inspires pride of race. The Negro will desire to preserve his identity as such and in proportion as he is allowed the exercise of his manhood rights, in like proportion will he be trained to depend upon himself. Be assured of one thing that if men will guage their lives by the Golden Rule, and if they will live righteously and the nation maintain its Christian integrity, there can be no need of subserviency.

DUMMY DIRECTORS Interesting Disclosures Made at New York Regarding the Stranded Shipbuilding Co. New York, Oct. 15.—The inquiry before a referee into the affairs of the stranded shipbuilding combination at the instance of the bondholders' protective association was resumed Wednesday and was productive of fresh developments that will claim the attention of the financial world and those who follow its fortunes. It developed that on Tuesday D. Leroy Dresser, late president of the Trust Company of the Republic, who last week divulged much of the inner history of the formation of the combination, made an effort to communicate with Charles Schwab, with a view to obtaining some concessions as to the Bethlehem steel works that would render easier the scheme for rehabilitating the partly wrecked concern. The message of Mr. Dresser was delivered to Mr. Schwab by Mr. Harris, of the brokerage house of Harris, Gates & Co., which marketed part of the Shipbuilding stock, but Mr. Schwab declined to see Mr. Dresser. W. D. Guthrie, counsel for Mr. Schwab, brought the facts of the incident out at the hearing in a series of questions directed to Mr. Dresser. His aim was to show that Mr. Dresser had sought to plead with Mr. Schwab and had threatened to make certain disclosures when recalled to the stand that would reflect upon Mr. Schwab. Mr. Dresser denied that he had gone to plead with Mr. Schwab or to threaten him, for he had no additional information to divulge, but had sought to approach him in the hope that something might be done to save the Shipbuilding Co. Dresser asserted that the company had been wrecked because Mr. Schwab had withheld the profits of the Bethlehem Co. This declaration he twice spiritedly repeated when, at the end of the cross-examination by Mr. Guthrie, he was given an opportunity to explain. Mr. Untermyer, in behalf of the bondholders, produced two of the resident directors obtained in New Jersey formally to carry on the affairs of the Shipbuilding company, but only finished his examination of one of them. He claimed that they were merely dummy directors, who voted upon questions involving millions of dollars of the securities of the company without other information or inquiry than the orders of the lawyers of the corporation. George P. Dailey, one of the New Jersey directors, could not tell where the Bath iron works is located, and could not tell who paid for the single share of stock placed in his name that he might qualify as a director. There was produced and offered as evidence a memorandum said to have been prepared by Col. McCook and given by him to Mr. Dresser. It contained the figures upon which the Trust Company of the Republic undertook the underwriting of the Shipbuilding Co., and while its purpose was not explained, it is expected that it will cut an important figure at a later stage of the proceedings. It is said that besides the division of stock detailed last week by Mr. Dresser, there was an additional division of money. The memorandum shows an allowance for "expenses" of $200,000 cash, $300,000 in bonds, $500,000 in preferred stock and $500,000 in common stock. GOOD CITIZENSHIP. Ex-President Cleveland Tells Chicago gangs How to Obtain It Chicago, Oct. 15.—"Give to our people something that will concentrate their common affection and solicitous care—and let that be their country's good; give them a purpose that stimulates them to unite in lofty endeavor—and let that purpose be a demonstration of the efficiency and beneficence of our popular rule." This was the solution offered by ex-President Cleveland as a remedy for corrupt politics in a speech before the members of the Commercial club at their annual banquet given at the Auditorium hotel last night. The subject discussed by Mr. Cleveland was "American Good Citizenship" and he dwelt at length on the necessity of every citizen doing his part to make political action what it should be. This is the first time in eight years that Mr. Cleveland has visited Chicago and he received enthusiastic reception by the 200 banqueters when he appeared at the speaker's table.

I had no luck in anything I undertook. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shea. I went, but found that Dr. Shea was dead; but I found in Dr. Shea's place a good, kind friend, the best friend I ever had. That friend was Dr. Ellarson. I had been told that Dr. Ellarson got a position that very week. I had been to others. They took my money and did me no good. I bless the day I first met Dr. Ellarson. I would advise all in bad luck, sick or in trouble to or write to 651 Fulton street to Dr. Ellarson at once. Had pneumonia. By Dr. Ellarson's careful care, all I needed 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 mourned for him night and day. I gave him as dead, but hearing of the wonderful things Dr. Ellison had done, I knew Dr. Ellison. I found Dr. Shea was dead, but Dr. Ellison was in his place, who told me my husband was alive and well and would come home in a few weeks. To my joy all of it came true. I thank God there is one in our midst who can help people so much, when they are in sore trouble of mind as I was. S. Leenhart, 1790 Third ave- Brooklyn, May 8, 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.

Harrison, 193 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, Newark, Sept. 14, 1902. —I wish to state that I have had the mysterious disease and is great trouble and distress for long time. No one seemed to understand my case. There many doctors, but none of them seemed to know what was the matter. None could do me any good. Hearing of the wonderful works being done by Dr. Shea, the last few years, I thought I would call to see him myself. I found Dr. Shea was dead and gone, but I found in his old roms, 651 Fulton street, Dr. Ellarson, a old woman and sympathetic physician of wonderful insight. I had a short time cured me sound and well. I can hear heartily recommend Dr. Ellarson to all those in sickness or distress of any kind. Moses Jones, 13 Camp street, Newark, N. J. Orange, N.

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 that you have helped me so much. I cannot tell that you grateful I am and how much I thank you, lying helpless in bed and no one seemed to help until my brother went to you and got something when brought me right up on my feet and able to go to work again. I bless God that I heard about you. From your true friend, Amelia Webb, 72 Central place, Orange, N. J. New York, Feb. 5, 1903.—Dee* Dr. Ellison: 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, feeling fine. Feel like a sixteen year old girl. When I think of how I was before I came to you, I feel I can never forget enough for your kindness and for what you have done for me in bringing back my health. I rechna quite truly, Sarah E. Cox, The Stratthmore 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. Dr. Ellarson's success is wonderful in curing Paralysis, Asthma, Sore Eyes, Tumors, Cancers, Constipation, Ague, Dypepsia, Tape Worm, Laryngeal Complaints, Dearness, Catarrh, Dropsy, Piles, Nervous Debility, Heart Disease, Consumption, Diseases of Women and Children, Fits, Kidney Disease and all strange and mysterious diseases, which others don't understand. All diseases, so matter what they may be. Nothing but honorable treatment. A new remedy for rheumatism just discovered; not a liniment. Hopeless cases and those that others cannot cure solicited to call or write. A perfect and radical cure warranted. Colloids made this and this folks made feebly. The children made carents. Call on, or write to. LOCAL DEPARTMENT. NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.—Subscribers not receiving THE GAZETTE regularly should notify us at once. We desire every copy delivered promptly.

Charles ("Chuck") Henderson of Newton street, who was seriously ill at a hospital with typhoid pneumonia recently, is convalescent. Mr. Leroy Tucker, formerly of this city, now of Columbus, visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Tucker of Astor avenue, on Sunday. Alex O. Taylor has resigned his position with the Equitable Life Insurance Co., and left the city, accepting a position in Washington, D. C., it is said. A marriage license was issued Monday to Robert I. Drake and Hattie Sides, the 17 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sides of Mayflower (Maple) street. It was a surprise. The local "stockholders" of the Douglass Automatic Straw Binder Company," should not fail to read the article published elsewhere in this paper, and taken from the Chicago Conservator of Oct. 3. By request of the committee of arrangements the place of holding the annual conference of the Interstate League of Independent Colored Voters has been changed from Columbus to Cleveland, same dates, Oct. 26 and 27. Rev. W. J. Johnson has been transferred from St. John's church to the Second A. M. E. church on Hudson street. This was done at his request. St. John's church will get a pastor from the Pittsburg conference, now in session. The editor of The Gazette will address a mass meeting at Wellsville on Monday evening, Oct. 19, instead of Oct. 12, as stated in our last issue. The meeting will be under the auspices of our leading local literary society of that city. Rev. I. A. Collins, many years ago pastor of St. John's church, preached an exceedingly instructive and interesting sermon at Shiloh church Sunday morning on, "Jesus Wept." Those who heard him were granted a rare treat indeed. Revs. A. R. Palmer of Middletown, J. W. Lewis of Mansfield, D. D. Lewis of Smithfield, H. F. Fox of Cadiz, T. W. Woodson of Urbana, C. D. White of Lima, and others called on The Gazette while here attending the N. O. annual conference at St. John's church last week. On Monday Rev. H. Talbert, secretary of Wilberforce university, took six o'clock dinner with Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Lacy at their home on Pine street. He spoke of being splendidly entertained and as he is an old acquaintance of Mr. Lacy's his company was enjoyed very much. Rev. Talbert is an accomplished gentleman. Mesdames Minton and Walker are ladies' artists in all kinds of hair work. Shampooing and head massaging a specialty. They also carry a fine line of combs, side combs, back combs, etc. When in need of such services as they command call on them at their place of business, 562 Central avenue, near Laurel street. Let us patronize our own people in business. Dr. C. L. Mottley and Dr. Jessie C. Dickerson gave a reception Saturday evening from five until eight o'clock to the bishops, members of the conference and their wives, visiting ministers and a few friends. During the evening about one hundred guests partook of the hospitality of the doctors'. Mrs. W. J. Johnson, wife of the ex-pastor of St. John's church and Rev. and Mrs. John Dickerson of Springfield, assisted in receiving the guests. Correspondents must mail all letters for publication on MONDAY of each week, and always place their names and that of their city and town on the outside of the wrapper about returned copies.

Advertisements, lists of names, wedding presents, etc., obituary notices, speeches, resolutions, poetry and inquiries for relatives must be paid for. Our advertising rates will be sent on application. Geo. W. DeWeese (white), well and favorably known among our people of this city, died last Saturday at his home on Willson avenue, heart disease being the cause of his death. He was commonly referred to as the "Blind Politician." He mahaged several campaigns and whenever in a position to do so helped the race. In his death the race has lost a good friend. His mother, wife and little daughter have our earnest sympathy. He was a life-long friend of the editor of The Gazette. The Second A. M. E. church dedicated its new church building on Hudson street Sunday afternoon, Bishop Arnett preaching the dedicatory sermon. Bishop Smith was also present and assisted in the ceremony. The auditorium was crowded with members and their friends and a special musical program was rendered by the very efficient choir supported by the congregation. The new edifice is of artistic design, both exterior and interior, and has a seating capacity of 400. Rev. J. C. Turner announced that all indebtedness had been cleared previous to dedication. On Monday evening Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Boyd of Edwards avenue, entertained at dinner, the following being present; Bishop B. W. Arnett, Prof. Henry Y. Arnett, Rev. Benjamin Arnett, P. E., and Miss Flossie Arnett, of Wilberforce, Mrs. Smith of Oberlin, Rev. Bell of New London, and Miss Emma Talbert, and Mrs. Edward Daw of this city. Owing to absence from the city the editor of The Gazette was unable to attend, as anicipated. On Saturday, Oct. 10. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd entertained Rev. R. C. Ransom and wife of Chicago, at dinner. On last Sunday morning Rev. H. C. Bailey preached to a large and appreciative audience, his subject being, "Profession vs. Practice." In strong and forcible language he set forth the necessity of "doing" religion. There is too much "talking" religion. A mere profession is nothing. Those who accomplish anything of any consequence in this life along any line must be active, and do something. The Christian that enjoys the most of God and His love is the one that does something. The church will not accommodate the large audiences that assemble at Sunday evening services. The finances of the church keep pace with the onward movement. The first of the month Rev. Bailey was at his best, his theme being, "But Ye Would Not." This masterful effort was acknowledged by many to have been the ablest delivered by him for some time. That it was enjoyed by all was evidenced by the close attention paid during the entire discourse. On Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Scott delightfully entertained at their cosy home on Chadwick street, in honor of Miss Florence Scott and Mr. Clarence Chinn of Meadville, Pa. Those present were: Misses Luella Alexander, Flora Coram, Ida Scott, Florence Byrd, Stella Henderson, Fairfax, Miller, Lessie Wilson, Lottie and Esther Irving, Messrs. West, McQueen, Howard, Harris, Frank Gailes and Hooker Page. Music was the chief feature of the evening. Refreshments were served. Miss Scott is an accomplished musician, also a graduate of the Meadville high school. She left Wednesday for home accompanied by her father and mother. Mr. Chinn will make this city his home. All spent a pleasant time. Mr. and Mrs. Scott proved charming as host and hostess. Miss Ethel, their daughter, assisted her mother in receiving. On Monday evening Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Reed of Giddings avenue, entertained a few friends in Miss Scott's honor. Mr. T. M. Farlice and Rev. H. C. Bailey were in Cole's restaurant on Prospect street, on Monday and were served by a waitress (white). Whites were at the table and others sat down while Messrs. Farlice and Bailey were eating. On Tuesday Rev. Bailey went in and was refused service although the same waitress showed a disposition to serve him. But Mr. Cole, the proprietor, refused to permit her to do so. Rev. Bailey sat down at the same table that he and Mr. Farlice sat at on Monday and was told to move to another table in the rear of the dining room. He, however, sat at the second table (toward the rear) from the one he first sat down to. They refused to serve him there though he waited quite an hour. He moved the first time asked but would not a second time. James Knot, the cripple newsboy, who stands in front of the Williamson building, and Mr. Andrew Seames were in the dining room at the time. Mr. Farlice went to the restaurant to see Mr. Cole but the latter had "vamoosed." Rev. Bailey has retained Hon. W. T. Clark as his legal representative and has begun suit against Proprietor Cole under Hon. H. C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law. So hot was the fight at the Little Black Tammany meeting last Monday evening (referred to elsewhere in these columns), as to who should control the meeting last evening at Woodliff hall, that the county republican executive committee put it in charge of the 12th Ward Republican "League" (club), commonly known as the "Grafters." Hon. Judson W. Lyons, register of the treasury was advertised as the speaker of the evening. He did not explain, however, why the "illy-white" republicans of the south love Hauna so and why the latter refused when asked to do so by a local reporter some months ago to denounce DISFRANCHISEMENT, LYNCHING, "JIM CROW" CARS, and the EX-SLAVE PENSION FRAUD which the bill he introduced in the United States senate, strengthened. Eubanks will be defeated by a plurality exceeding 5,000 votes. Mark our prediction! John Morris of Wilberforce, a divinity student of the college, who was arrested Saturday week charged with burglary, was acquitted in Judge Strimple's court Monday. He is a very gentlemanly young man and there is not the slightest doubt of his innocence. "Ted" Greene, the star half-back of Case school foot ball team, again distingu hed himself on the gridiron Saturday. He was the mainstay of the team and never failed to make the required distance, often making what others consider brilliant runs but to him they are common place. It is no secret that Jere Brown advised against Eubanks' nomination. W. O. Bowles, jr., died last week. His many friends were deeply grieved over his loss. Melvin Patrick, who has been in the hospital the past three weeks undergoing operation, is convalescing and will probably be about in a short time. Invitations are out for the Delmonico's dance. Undoubtedly this affair will be as pleasant as the others given by the club, which have been immensely enjoyed. Mr. W. Parker and Miss Nancy Brooks were married last week Wednesday night. A very pleasant evening was spent, in spite of the weather. Mt. Zion Missionary society will give a social on the 19th for the Benefit of Prof. Planing's widow. Te Du Luzon whist club was very pleasantly entertained Tuesday evening by Leroy Crawford and Miss Luhu Cowan at Mr. Louis Buchanan's on Willson place. Cards were the chief feature of the evening. Austin and Robert Turner, two of our "Central High" boys, are now playing regularly on the school football team. J. Z. Coram is in a critical condition at his home in Glenville. Miss Mable Blue entertained Saturday afternoon. Harry O. Bowles, who is attending Kenyon college, has been chosen head librarian of the school. Don't forget to attend "The Event of The Season"—the grand opening ball at Forest street armory, on Wednesday evening, Oct. 21, 1903 under the management of A. H. Bowman's popular orchestra, assisted by John Kirk's Euclid Beach orchestra. Remember the date, Oct. 21. Those who desire trees and shrubbery or hauling of any kind should call upon W. I. Gray, 148 Woodland Hills avenue. Orders promptly ailed. See his advertisement elsewhere in this paper. Bell 'phone, Doan 486 Y. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1903. Rev. Primus Alston preached at Cory chapel Sunday morning and Rev. W. White in the evening. Bottl. preached able sermons. The missionary program given by the Sunday school children was very good.

Lillie and daughter, of 119 Frank street. Fred W. Adsit is sick at the Cleveland General hospital with malaria. He has the sympathy of his friends. Mr. James Cowan and sister, Joy of Oberlin, were guests of the L'Allegro club Saturday evening. The L'Allegro club's bi-monthly dance Saturday evening at the Alta house was well attended and enjoyed by all. It is re-organizing its ball team for the coming season. All associated with the club are urgently requested to be out for practice, Tuesday night. Harry E. Davis of Quebec street, has accepted a position for a few weeks with the republican state executive committee at Columbus. Mrs. S. Bolden who keps a restaurant on Central avenue, was seriously injured en route to church Sunday evening. Mrs. Hattie Walker will start her dancing school at Flynn's hall on Superior street, the 26th. The Little Black Tammany had another of its many "squabbles" at its meeting in Woodliff hall on Monday evening. It is claimed by Eubanks' friends that Geo. Meyers is opposed to him as he was to Marshall. W. G. Milligan resigned as president and left the Tammany. Second A. M. E. Church Dedicated. Second A. M. E. Church Dedicated. Last Sunday at 3 p. m., quite a crowd assembled at the Second A. M. E. church to witness the dedicatorial services. The members desired to wait until the church was paid for before "giving it to the Lord." Bishops B. W. Arnett and C. S. Smith officiated. The former delivered a very practical address. Miss Grace Willis sang sweetly, "The Lord is my Shepherd." The reports showed great progress under the pastorate of Rev. J. C. Turner who has been moved to Middletown by the conference just adjourned, to the regret of many. He closes a term of three years. When coming to this work he found 37 members and leaves 94. He found a debt of $1,300; with interest, amounting to over $1,500. It has been paid and three mortgages burned. He leaves the church entirely free from debt. The total amount raised during his pastorate for all purposes amounts to $4,590.87, the greatest progress in the history of the church. The year just closed is the first since its organization that all the pastor's support was raised without church entertainments which he has always opposed. Rev. Turner and his faithful wife go to their new field of labor with the prayers and best wishes of many. Information of Crippled or Deformed Persons.

Little Story" (relative to making white soldiers salute his coat after they had refused to salute him, Capt. Young, with it on) you ask about, I reply: YOU KNOW NOT A WORD OF IT COULD BE TRUE. Whatever my faults (and they are many) may be, you know I love the quiet paths of life and am no poser. The Court-Martial Record. Washington, Oct. 15.—Judge Advocate General Davis has reported to the secretary of war that there were 5,275 trials by general court-martial in the army during the fiscal year ended July 30 last, being 36 less than in the previous year. Of the 27 officers tried 12 were convicted and of the 5,231 enlisted men tried 4,282 were convicted.

Address H. C. SMITH, "THE GAZETTE." CLEVELAND. OHIO. WILLIAM HENRY Miss Alice M. Smith, of Minneapolis, Minn., tells how woman's monthly suffering may be quickly and permanently relieved by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I have never before given my endorsement for any medicine, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has added so much to my life and happiness that I feel like making an exception in this case. For two years every month I would have two days of severe pain and could find no relief, but one day when visiting a friend I run across Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,—she had used it with the best results and advised me to try it. I found that it worked wonders with me; I now experience no pain and only had to use a few bottles to bring about this wonderful change. I use it occasionally now when I am exceptionally tired or worn out."—MISS ALICE M. SMITH, 804 Third Ave., South Minneapolis, Minn., Chairman Executive Committee Minneapolis Study Club. Beauty and strength in women vanish early in life because of monthly pain or some menstrual irregularity. Many suffer silently and see their best gifts fade away. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound helps women preserve roundness of form and freshness of face because it makes their entire female organism healthy. It carries women safely through the various natural risks and is the safeguard of woman's health. crises and is the safeguard of women. The truth about this great medicine is told in the letters from women published in this paper constantly. Mrs. C. Kleinschrodt, Morrison, Ill., says:— "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I have suffered ever since I was thirteen years of age with my menses. They were irregular and very painful. I doctored a great deal but received no benefit. "A friend advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which I did, and after taking a few bottles of it, I found great relief. "Menstruation is now regular and without pain. I am enjoying better health than I have for sometime." How is it possible for us to make it plainer that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will positively help all sick women? All women are constituted alike, rich and poor, high and low,—all suffer from the same organic troubles. Surely, no one can wish to remain weak and sickly, discouraged with life and without hope for the future, when proof is so unmistakable that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will cure monthly suffering—all womb and ovarian troubles, and all the ills peculiar to women. $5000 FORFEIT if we cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures of above testimonials, which will prove their absolute genuineness. Lydia E. Pinkham Medicines Co., Lynn, Mass. Professor of Chicago University Says the Use of the New Food, Leclithin, Increases Growth 60 Per Cent. The age of the race of giants is about to be ushered in again. Henceforth there will be no pygmies, for a wonderful food substance has been discovered that makes men and animals grow—grow fast and large. The myths that have come down from ancient days tell of races of giants which inhabited the earth or dwelt in the islands of the sea. History, as constructed from old records and folks lore, is filled with stories of Goliaths and Sampsons, to say nothing of Hercules. Science has proved that the animals of the earth were once far larger than at present The giant races may all return as the result of the newly discovered food substance which stimulates growth so rapidly. The new food is lecithin. Its wonderful qualities have just been demonstrated by a series of experiments conducted by Dr. Shinkishi Haitai, professor of neurology at the University of Chicago. Dr. Haitai experimented with white rats, and by feeding them lecithin made them grow 60 per cent faster than rats grow ordinarily. And this under conditions of atmosphere and general surroundings that were unfavorable. The scientists say that lecithin will have a similar effect on human beings. Lecithin is an organic phosphorus containing body found in various animal tissues. It is a brown, butterlike substance, with an odor like that of rancid fat. The results of Dr. Haitai's experiments, which he puts forth through the American Journal of Physiology, are in part as follows: The white rats that received lecith-, either by intramuscular injection or by the mouth, gained in body weight more rapidly than those which did not receive the food, the average gain being 60 per cent greater than was noted in the rats fed on plain grain diets. The relative weight of the central nervous system of the rats treated with lecithin was normal. The nervous system of the rats treated with lecithin contained the same proportion of water and solids as those of other rats. The professor's experiments show, therefore, that the growth induced by lecithin is normal and healthy. It stimulates all parts and organs of the body exactly alike, thus acting unlike other stimulants, which affect different organs of the body in different ways.

Franksville, Wis., Oct. 12th.—Many remarkable cures have been reported from all over the country, but there is one right here in Franksville which is certainly worth publishing, and which has not as yet been given to the public. Mrs. Louis Markison of this place had been a sick woman for quite a long time and could not find anything to give her any help. She suffered all the painful symptoms of what is generally known as female weakness. Every woman who reads her story will understand these distressing conditions which combine to make the lives of many women one long burden of weakness and suffering. Mrs. Markison chanced one day to hear of a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, that was said to be a splendid medicine for women's weakness. She determined to try some and soon found herself getting better. She kept on with the pills and was cured. Speaking of her case Mrs. Markison says:— "I can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pills as a remedy for female weakness. They are the best medicine I have ever known, and have done me a great deal of good." Prometers of Courage. Spartacus—Women are a great incentive to manly courage. Smarticus—That's right.

The man who wishes to locate in the Southwest this fall has little excuse for staying at home, so far as railroad rates are concerned. The Santa Fe announces very low one-way second-class rates to California—$33 from Chicago, $25 from Kansas City, $30 from St. Louis, and proportionate reductions from the East generally. These tickets are on sale every day until November 30. They are being availed of by those wishing to settle in the San Joaquin and other great valleys of California, likewise Arizona passengers. The same line also offers a rate of about half fare, plus $2, one-way or round-trip, to the Southwest generally, the first and third Tuesdays of each month; the last semi-monthly excursion filled every available car. On October 20 a special bargain-counter round-trip home-seekers' rate is advertised for $20 from Chicago, and $15 from Kansas City to central and eastern Texas and to Oklahoma, also $5 higher to Pecos Valley, of New Mexico. The mere sightseer will be more interested in the excursions to Los Angeles and San Francisco that are booked on the Santa Fe the latter part of October, account American Bankers' Association. The rate then, out and back, will be $62.50 from Chicago, $50 from Kansas City, and similarly reduced from other points. Anyone may go who has the price in his pocketbook. Special parties will take in the Grand Canyon of Arizona, on the way, and will be personally escorted. Those wishing to try an ocean voyage can extend their trip by Oceanic line steamer from San Francisco to Hawaii and enjoy a week's outing in the isles of peace. Little She Didn't Know.

Will be Made a Powerful Competitor of the Trust. The Clairton, Pa., Plant to be Enlarged and Improved - Company Owns Ore Lands, Coal Mines and Coking Plants—Necessary Funds Provided. Pittsburg, Oct. 15.—Since the United States Steel Corporation has declined to take over a half interest in the Clairton Steel Co., now owned by the Crucible Steel Co., and after a contract had been made to do so, the officers of the Crucible Steel Co. will go ahead with the original plans to make this plant a powerful competitor of the combine and will themselves furnish the necessary funds to do so. The fact that the company owns its ore lands, cooking plants and coal mines, its officers say, puts it in an independent position for raw material. All it has to do now is to build finishing mills to its already enormous works at Clairton to have one of the most modern works in the country. Yesterday after a long conference by the executive officers of the Crucible Steel Co., the following announcement was made by President Frank B. Smith: "By reason of the failure of the consummation of the sale of the Clairton Steel Co. property, under the contract which had been executed which the officers of the Crucible Steel Co. had every reason to believe would be carried out, it became necessary to have additional funds for the working capital of the Clairton plant and taking care of its indebtedess. "At a meeting sufficient subscriptions have been obtained to effect this plan. It has also been considered advisable to effect a reorganization of the company, and it has been arranged to have William G. Park become chairman, in full control. "It is probable that the large operations of the Clairton Steel Co. may require the company to discontinue the dividends on the preferred stock. If this proves to be so the directors will not hesitate to suspend dividends while this necessity exists." The change in the officers announced brings back into harness William G. Park, who had retired from active participation in the steel business, and Reuben Miller, who has been out of office for some time. W. P. Snyder, who remains at the head of the Clairton Co., is said to be one of the most skillful iron and steel manufacturers in the city. The company will turn out sheets and bars for the independent mills and possibly enter the rail market. Finishing lines will be added to the works to form an outlet for the heavy tonnage of billets and blooms that are available for open market. The Crucible Steel Co. has a capital of $50,000,000. Its own plants are large consumers of open hearth billets. It was organized in 1900 and while never paying a common stock dividend, has accumulated a surplus of considerable size. A statement showing thehavages of Death Amongz Union Generals. Washington, Oct. 15.—Gen. Ainsworth, chief of the record and pension office, war department, has prepared a list of the general officers of the armies of the Tennessee, of the Cumberland and of the Ohio, which is of especial interest at this time on account of the assembling of the veterans of those armies in this city to participate in the ceremonies attending the dedication of the statue of Gen. W. T. Sherman, who commanded the three armies named during the exciting period of the civil war. There were 123 general officers in the Army of the Tennessee during its active life and of that number but 19 are alive today. Of the 111 general officers who served in the Army of the Cumberland but 14 survive, and but 12 of the 55 general officers attached to the Army of the Ohio are now alive. Six Fastest Heats Ever Trotted. Lexington, Ky., Oct. 15.—The six fastest heats ever trotted in one race failed to produce a winner in the rich McDowell stake yesterday. The race is for the 2:10 class, trotting, purse of $5,000. Two heats have been won by Monte Carlo, Hawthorne and Dr. Strong each. The deciding heat was postponed on account of darkness and will be trotted today. The previous world's record for six heats to a race was made in the Transylvania last year, in which the heats were trotted in an average of 2:08 11-12. The six heats yesterday were trotted in an average of 2:08 7-12. Bank Robbers Secured $2,800. Peoria, Ill., Oct. 15.—Four men drove into the town of Berwick, eight miles west of Abingdon, early Wednesday, and going to the Farmers' state bank, picked the lock of the front door. They then drilled the door of the vault and forced the combination, securing $2,800. The explosion awakened a number of residents of the town, who appeared on the scene only to be covered by guns in the hands of the robbers, who held them at bay until they had loaded their booty into the rig and escaped.

The Indianapolis Election. Indianapolis, Oct. 15.—Complete unofficial returns in the Indianapolis city election give Holtzman, democrat, 20,594; Bookwalter, republican, 19,656; Hitz, prohibition and independet, 5,470; Holtzman's plurality 938. Edward W. Little, democrat, is elected judge of the police court over Thomas C. Whallon, republican and present police judge, by a plurality of from 600 to 800, and the indications are that William M. Fogart, democrat, is elected city clerk over Thomas J. Yount, republican, by about 150. The city council will probably be republican. The checks are worthless. Detroit, Oct. 15.—Judge Donovan, in the Wayne circuit court yetserday decided that the $662,000 of certified checks against Frank C. Andrews, ex-vice president of the wrecked City Savings bank, of this city, who is now serving a term in prison for his misappropriation of the bank's funds that were outstanding when the bank closed its doors, are not worth the paper they were written upon. These checks were drawn on the bank and certified by an employee, at a time when Frank C. Andrews' account in the bank was heavily overurawn. ADMIRAL SCHLEY ENDORSES PE-RU-NA. Pe=ru=na Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen:===“I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Peru=na and I believe with good effect.”==W. S. SCHLEY===Washington, D. C. ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It appeared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and international reputation have been willing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is. TRICK OF INDIAN MAGICIAN. One That Mystified the Late Lord Lytton and One That Didn't Work. The following story of Indian magic was told me by the person to whom it was told by the late Lord Lytton. I give it in my own words, for the excellent, though humiliating, reason that I have mislaid the manuscript, says a writer in Longman's Magazine. When in India Lord Lytton often sought out conjurors, but never saw any but the usual feats, such as the mango tree trick and the basket trick! The method in each case is known, or, at all events, plausible explanations have been given by Mr. Maskelyne and other experts. On one occasion Lord Lytton liked something in the looks of the conjuror who was performing in an open space before his house. After the ordinary exhibition, his lordship asked the magician if he could not do something more out of the common way. The man said he would try, and asked for a ring, which Lord Lytton gave him. He then requested an officer to take in either hand a handful of seeds; one sort was sesame, the name of the other sort my informant did not know. Holding these seeds and having the ring between his finger and thumb, the officer was to go to a well in the corner of the compound. He was to dispose of the seeds in a certain way—I think on the low wall round the well, into the depth of which he was to throw the ring. All this was done, and then the magician asked Lord Lytton where he would like the ring to reappear. He answered "in my despatch box," of which the key was attached to his watch chain, or, at all events, he had it with him on the spot. The despatch box was brought out. Lord Lytton opened it, and there was the ring. This trick would be easy if the British officer was a confederate of the juggler's, and if he possessed a duplicate key to the despatch box. In that case he would not throw the ring into the well, but would take it into the house, open the box and insert the ring. But this explanation involves enormous improbabilities, while it is unlikely, again, that the conjuror managed to insert a duplicate ring into the despatch box beforehand. Lord Lytton then asked the juggler if he could repeat the trick. He answered in the affirmative, and a lady lent another ring. Another officer took it, with the seeds, as before, and dropped the ring into the well. The countenance of the juggler altered in the pause which followed. Something, he said, had gone wrong, and he seemed agitated. Turning to the second officer he said: "Did you arrange the seeds as I bade you?" "No," said the officer, "I thought that was nonsense, and I threw them away." The juggler seemed horrified. "Do you think I do this by myself?" he said, and, packing up, he departed. The well was carefully dragged, and at last the lady's ring was brought to the surface. That ring, at least, had certainly been in the water. But had the first ring been as faithfully consigned to the depths? Experts will be of various opinions as to that, yet the hypothesis of confederacy and of a duplicate key to the despatch box is difficult. THE X-RAY PROBLEM. New World of Scientific Research Practically Created by Roentgen's Discovery. Are X-rays injurious to living tissues? Does the etheric current, in passing unchecked through flesh and blood, plant germs of decay in its course? A story is current, reports the Philadelphia North American, that these rays have endangered Inventor Edison's eyesight and cost one of his workmen an arm. In several instances recently reported skin grafting has been resorted to as a desperate remedy for X-ray baking and burning. Roentgen's discovery has been welcomed as an invaluable aid to pathological science, and honors and rewards have been showered thick upon him. He has practically created a new world of scientific research and experiment. The tremendous impulse which he gave to independent inquiry has been followed and answered by amazing revelations of nature's secrets. Marvels dreamed of by ancient alchemists have been overshadowed and outdone by audacious modern experimenters, working on new and strange lines. Men of science are eager, expectant, radical. Disclosures that seem to assail the foundations of modern physical science—the recent revelation of the properties of radium, for example—elicit neither surprise nor dismay. There is a hectic fever of experiment in every quarter, with a strong accompanying disposition to follow after strange gods. "You're forever trying to give the impression that you're a martyr," snapped Mrs. Henpeck. "I suppose you want everybody to think that you suffer in silence." "No," repiled Mr. Henpeck, "I suffer in the perpetual absence of silence. A little silence would be a positive pleasure to me."—Philadelphia Press. A CURIOUS CRAFT. Description of an Unsinkable Vessel Built After Model Seen in a Vision by a Virginia Preacher. John K. Leedy, a Dunkard preacher, 75 years of age, a native of Rockingham county, Virginia, is without doubt one of the greatest believers in dreams that ever lived. Through what he claims to be a divine inspiration he has been enabled to invent the "Leedy unsinkable ship." Asked how he had come to contrive the ship, Mr. Leedy replied: "Several years ago, just after one of the big ocean liners loaded with human freight went to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean and all on board were lost, I had a dream. In this dream I talked with an angel. The messenger of God painted a large picture of a ship and commanded me to set about and construct such a vessel for the good or mankind. "I thought but little of the dream until two or three nights afterward, when the angel again appeared and directed me to do as I had been told, and for a second time a large picture of a ship, which was to be my model, was painted. I gave the matter more serious thought on the following day, and for several nights thereafter my dreams were of nothing but the ship. I read my Bible and found certain passages which told me I must get to work. The result of my labors is what will be known to the world as "Leedy's unsinkable ship.' "You ask me to describe this great life-saving invention. "The hull is comprised of an outer and inner casing, the inner casing composed of copper plates, soldered together, thus making it water and air tight. Between the outer and inner casings from a short distance above the lower deck there is placed a filling of coal tar or some other suitable material. The lower deck is composed of two layers of metal soldered together, thus making the hold of the vessel air-tight. "Between the ribs of the vessel and between the outer and inner casings above the lower deck are empty spaces which are adapted to be closed by air-tight coverings, and communicating with these spaces are air tubes for supplying and compressing air in the spaces, the air being supplied by an air-compressing engine on the main deck. "On both sides of the ship and outside of the hull are arranged a series of bags which can be run up and down the sides of the vessel by means of a chain and pulley on each side. Should the ship run on a sand bar or rock these bags may be sent to the bottom of the ship, and there filled with compressed air, thus lifting the ship off the bar or rock. The coal bunkers and various other compartments above the ship are adapted to be transformed into compressed air chambers at will, so it is seen that, even though the ship should spring a leak of a very serious nature, her bilge pumps and many air chambers would prevent her sinking. Her hold, on account of its air and water-tight construction, would be a vast air tank that would be impossible to sink."
