The Gazette

2 ALL IRED PRINTING TRADE'S SCHOOL COUNCIL CLEVELAND. SATURDAY. OCT. 24. 1903. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. Hanna has been a member of the U. S. senate for years and has NEVER opened his mouth in that body in defense of our much abused people, though Tillman, Carmack, Richardson and other brutal southern senators have called us everything but human beings. Please remember this. Strange that not even on the stump, nor in interviews, does Hanna denounce disfranchisement. Perhaps the fact that for many years he has had a home in Cleveland, Ohio, and another in THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA, has something to do with it. Think it over. Has any one ever heard Ohio's junior senator, the Hon. Marcus Alonzo Hanna, the idol of the lily-white republicans of the south and their disfranchising democratic allies, ever denounce lynching (or mob violence which concerned the Afro-American), disfranchisement or the "Jim Crow car" system Great friend (?) of the race, is he! Did Hanna exhibit the slightest interest in that section of the Chinese exclusion act when it was pending in the last congress, which deprives our people of the citizen right of testifying in United States courts in certain cases? What in all his career has he ever done for Afro-Americans or anybody or anything else, McKinley and the trusts excepted, upon which he can base his ridiculous claim or request of support from Afro-Americans? Ask any member of the race who lives in Cleveland how many Afro-Americans are or ever have been employed about Hanna's home here in this city; how many in the employ of his companies that employ thousands of whites of almost every other nationality or class of people on the face of the earth, and then draw your own conclusions. The writer has known Mark Hanna for many years and verily believes that our bitterest enemy, the brutal, foul-mouthed and one-eyed Tillman, pays more money direct to Afro-American employees than Hanna ever did or does. Hanna has no love for the Afro-American, is our thorough belief after years' knowledge of and experience with him. OUR JURY SYSTEM Judge Hammonds of the United States District Court of West Tennessee, has pronounced in strong and logical terms against our present jury system. From a standpoint of loyalty and justice to the people from whose sovereignty our government must stand or fall, he demands a jury of men who will have the courage of conviction. Of what avail can a jury be to a community of people whose rights for protection and justice are miscarried through fear of public opinion, through cowardice or sycophancy? Yet it is for lack of the highest qualities of intelligence and true manhood that Judge Hammonds is constrained to denounce the present system. The imperfection of human nature does not mitigate the burden of responsibility imposed upon the individual juror to dispense complete justice to all men irrespective of race, circumstances or condition. But overcome through cowardice, the plaintiff is robbed of his rights or the defendant in other instances is restrained of his liberty. Justice to the plaintiff or the liberty of defendant, one or the other is compromised, or traded away. The innocent may feel justified in relying upon the integrity of his case, but the accused from the very condition of things is oftimes as well satisfied that the verdict of the jury will be in his favor as if already given. He determines his acquittal from the very complexion of that jury. If a strong and influential citizen is concerned as defendant, he is more than likely to gain the suit, or if he be poor and without influence, the verdict is against him. Jurors nowadays will not brook the opposition of the strong and wealthy class and hence the innocent is made to suffer for the guilty. The presumption is, that a jury shall render its verdict according to the law and the evidence, yet without the evidence in hand, unless it is preponderatingly in favor of the one or the other, the verdict is rendered in the interest of the more favored party. Every day reveals the astounding fact that jurors are in many instances controlled by feelings of fear than from their sense of duty. Lawyers can sometimes determine before hand what the verdict will be. It happens too, that very incompetent jurors are placed in the box more through favoritism to the exclusion of the more capable whose right as jurors could not be disputed. Judge Hammonds certainly said something when he ican jurors. He sounded the keynote which demands the attention of the people in every quarter of the country. There is need of amendment in this respect and it should be made. But there is in this connection a matter which is equally as grave. No court and no bench of jurors can discharge its duty or render justice so long as there is the slightest discrimination involved. Black men in the south are almost universally excluded from the jury. Southern white men sit on their cases and render their verdicts even to suit themselves. But pending a case between a white and colored person, there is not a white juror that will deny having his sympathy with his white brother. There are thousands of intelligent Afro-Americans, brave, manly, upright and learned who are fully capable to serve as jurors, yet are denied this right while illiterate, imbecile and incompetent whites are called in their stead. The judge proclaims to the world the shameful cowardice of the American jury, but the basest and most cowardly act in the management of juries is that which denies a man through prejudice the right to be tried by a jury of his peers. TO FIGHT FOR LAND. Former Slaves of John Randolph Claim 300 Acres in Mercer County, Ohio. Indianapolis, Ind.—Thirty old ex-slaves, the survivors of a family of 300, who formerly "belonged" to John Randolph of Virginia, are now instituting legal proceedings for possession of 3,200 acres of land in Mercer county, Ohio. They claim that the land was willed them at the death of their master, he having given them their freedom and willed each of them ten acres of land before his death. W. E. Henderson is attorney in the case. At. New Bremen, Ohio, the canal boat on which they were traveling was held up by German settlers and they scattered in all directions. The land was eventually sold to white settlers and is now valued at $300,000 or more. Most of the thirty live in this city, old and decrepit, but several live in adjacent states. They all met here and resolved to make a trial for the land. Action will be brought in Toledo by Attorney Henderson. Biblical Essay the Main Feature. Biblical Essay the Main Feature.

"Douglass a Fraud or a Fool." We clip this from the Pittsburg Independent: August 29, 1903. "Friend Hall: Just saw the Independent. Write Hon. E. H. Morris, Chicago, Ill., about Douglass Automatic Straw Binder Co., before indorsing it. Douglass has "worked" Chicago, Cleveland and other places. He has patented nothing to bind with. Been selling "stock" for about ten years. "H. C. SMITH. The above statement . . . Mr. H. C. Smith appears to be false and with no grounds." The Independent goes after Bro. Smith with a club for telling this bit of truth. Harry C. Smith is an old and faithful servant of the race and has never been known to betray his people or to seek to shield or cover up a bunco scheme or a confidence game when he saw it was being played on his people. Smith is right and the Independent is wrong. Douglass is a fraud or a fool, pure and simple. There is nothing to his binder worth the paper this is being written on. The "stockholders" writing from Chicago and commending the Douglass are either myths or a few dupes who, finding themselves the losers, on the principle that misery loves company, have sought to draw others into it. We speak for Chicago; it is a stupendous fraud or a fake, and we warm all persons everywhere to let it alone. Hand this around in the name of the Conservator.—Chicago (Ill.) Conservator. Much Married Minister Deposed by Conference. - Paris, Ill.—The Illinois conference, A. M. E. church, in session here recently deposed from the ministry Rev. F. M.

Fort Riley, Kan., Oct. 22.—Five states against the United States, and practically an even break all around, was the result of the army exercises yesterday.

"Ted" Greene will probably be unable to play football today (Saturday) owing to the injury he received in last Saturday's game. The Delmonico dancing club gave a dance Friday night at Woodliff hall. It was enjoyable as their other affairs in the past have been. Miss Lora Mayo, formerly of this city, now of Akron, was in the city Monday. She has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Garrett Buster, of Wilmington, O. The editor of The Gazette returned last week Monday from a several days' visit in Chicago, and returned on Tuesday of this week from Wellsville, O. Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard university, Washington, D. C., spoke at Plymouth church, Prospect st., Sunday morning and at Mt. Zion church in the evening. He was here as a delegate attending a national meeting of the Congregational Missionary society and was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Fairfax of No. 43 Calvert street until Friday. On Sunday evening Mr. and Mrs. Fairfax entertained a few friends in his honor, among those present being Mrs. Benjamin Ricks and the editor of The Gazette. Prof. Miller is a mathematician of national reputation. Rev. Simmons, P. E., held his third quarterly meeting at Cory chapel Sunday and preached to a large audience at the three services. The choir rendered excellent music. The Bachelor's banquet was a success, $32.80 being cleared for the trustees. The Old Maids will give a banquet in the near future. The W. H. M. S. are arranging for a fair to be held Thanksgiving week. They will also serve dinner Thanksgiving. The farewell services of Rev. J. C. Turner and wife took place at the E. E. A. M. E. church the 15th. Quite a number were present. On the evening following a reception was tendered them by some of the members and a number of their many friends, at Mrs. Carrol's, 9 Arthur street. After partaking of the excellent refreshments prepared by the young ladies, Mrs. Carrol, in behalf of those present, presented the Rev. and his wife with a purse and other presents, expressing their most devoted friendship, with regrets for departure and best wishes for their future. Rev. and Mrs. Turner responded, expressing sincere thanks and assurance of their full appreciation. Rev. Turner has won the respect of many of the best white citizens, some of whom have given him much help in the church work. Such has been the dissatisfaction as a result of his removal that a petition has been sent Bishop Arnett asking that he revoke his appointment and return Rev. Turner. To this petition a number of our best white citizens have put their names. This is of course no reflection upon the newly appointed pastor, Rev. W. J. Johnson. A better man than him has not occupied a pulpit in this city, during our many years' residence here. He is a thorough Christian gentleman and exceptionally popular. WANTED.—Housekeeper—20 years old, must not be over 30 and must be a first class woman. Every room in house carpeted. Only two in family. Have horse and buggy. Work easy. Everything handy. Good money to right person. Send answer to J. P. Arnold, No. 1, corner Main and Mercer streets, Greenville, Pa. Rev. H. C. Bailey's discourse Sunday morning was as usual an able, practical, spiritual treat. In fact, all his discourses are indeed rare treats and soul inspiring, filled with rich food for the reflective mind. The church could not accommodate the congregation at the evening service. At 7 o'clock the church was full and at 7:30 it was packed to its utmost capacity. The discourse to young men was one of those it would have been good if every young man in the city could have heard. The environments that surround the young men of our city are such that they would do well to hear and heed such advice and admonition. To appreciate that sermon one would have had to have heard it. At the close of the service there were four accessions. This makes 14 in the last month. The church is on the onward march. A very interesting sermon was preached at Mt. Zion church Sunday morning by Rev. Geo. W. Moore, of Washington, D. C. On Monday evening a good program was given by the Ladies' Missionary society. Miss Bertha Byrd of Xenia, a graduate of Wilberforce, delivered a fine on entitled, "The Brotherhood of Man." Miss Georgia Fields of Calvert street rendered a very pleasing piano selection. The editor of The Gazette has received an invitation to attend the twelfth marriage anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Dean on Wednesday evening, Nov. 4, at 20 Mayflower street. It is said that Mrs., Hattie Walker gave a reception on last week Thursday evening to a few "blue-veins" and their darker allies, in a hall on Superior street. She had previous to this made personal visits to a number of ladies' homes in an effort to organize a dancing class, the first session of which was to have been held on Monday evening of this week at the same place. It seems that those who were members of this class were not invited to the affair on last week Thursday evening and the result is, that there are some very "warm" ladies whose social standing in this community is far better than some of the afore-mentioned "blues" and allies. It is also said that many, if not all of them, refused to be present on Monday evening at what was to have been her dancing class' opening, and say that they will under no circumstances affiliate with it as a result of last week's affair. Mrs. Walker, it is also said, insists that she did not give the reception of last week Thursday night. On the contrary, there are those who claim that "the cat was let out of the bag" by a chance remark of Eddie Dunjill, as well as those of others. Be that as it may, a good deal of friction and feeling has been generated as a result of the last week affair. It is now said that another effort will be made to convene the dancing class on next Monday evening, but it will hardly be successful unless there is a very material change in the present condition of affairs. "The education of the Afro-American-Industrial, Intellectual and Moral" was the principal topic of discussion at the 57th annual meeting of the American Missionary society at Plymouth church on the 20th, 21st and 22nd. The question was discussed fully and frankly by men who have made a careful study of present conditions. Some of the speakers were Afro-Americans. About thirty of these delegates were expected. There were also reports of the work of the association's missionaries in Alaska and Porto Rieo. Music was furnished by a company of jubilee singers with whom are Mr. and Mrs. Honesty, Mrs. Gilliam Lewis and Mr. James Y. Gilliam. With the exception of Mrs. Lewis those mentioned paid The Gazette a most pleasant visit on Tuesday. The second annual conference of the Interstate League of Independent Colored Voters will be held at Woodliff hall next Monday and Tuesday. On Monday there will be a reception of delegates from 9 to 11 a.m. Conference called to order by President Frank H.

Allison Sweeney of Chicago, chairman. Following are the speakers: Ex-Senator Stamps, New Orleans; Wm. E. Gross, New York; J. V. Hill, Indianapolis; W. H. Vashon, St. Louis; C. W. Armsted, Gallipolis. The speech of Hon. Joseph C. Manning, of Alexander City, Ala., (one of the best white friends in the south the race has), delivered before the Republican Middlesex Club of Boston, Mass., April 27, 1903, has been printed in pamphlet form of 15 pages. These pamphlets are being sent out to all parts of this country and more especially into the northern, eastern and western states. The speech is an able, logical and instructive presentation of the present conditions of the south. The title of the speech is "Let the South Alone. Class Government that Defrauds Whites and Blacks."

THE GAZETTE, CLEVEIAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1903. The Perry Street Opera House meeting of Afro-Americans held on Tuesday evening proved an ordinary affair, largely because Eubanks' friends in charge of the meeting insisted on hiring a white grass band to hand a parade of a few stragglers up Central avenue, prior to the meeting and would not hire either one of our two local Afro-American brass bands, or enough of our musicians to make up such a very good one as they wanted. This is certainly very Eubanks, and our local musicians ought to enthuse over it. NIT! Charles Cottrill of Toledo, was one of the few speakers. Henry Eubanks bolted the republican ticket in 1899 when he fought the election of the editor of The Gazette, the Afro-American candidate for the legislature on it; and again in 1901, when he opposed the election of Hon. W. J. Akers, the republican candidate for mayor and supported Tom L. Johnson. Then he is not a fit candidate for the place intellectually and otherwise—is the judgment of many who know him long and well. This is no secret. THE CANDIDATES WHO WANT AFRO-AMERICAN VOTES WILL BE REPRESENTED IN OUR NEXT ISSUE. WATCH FOR THEM! The principal Afro-American delegates to the American Missionary Association convention in session this week at Plymouth church, corner of Prospect and Perry streets, were: Prof. Kelly Miller, Howard university, Washington, D. C.; Geo. W. Crawford, esq., Wm. Pickens, Yale university, New Haven, Conn.; Prof. John W. Work, Fred J. Work, Maxmillian Martin, and Perry W. Ryder, of Fisk Jubilee quartette; Rev. Geo. W. Moore, of Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. James E. Smith, Thibodeaux, La.; Rev. Joseph Jackson, Cleveland; Mrs. Henrietta B. Ousley, Mound Bayou, Miss.; Mrs. Anna W. Richardson, Marshallville, Ga. Miss Elna Batch died at the pest house Wednesday of black small pox. She was taken there on last week Friday. The young woman came to Cleveland from Pittsburg a couple of weeks ago. She had visited an aunt. Her residence was 22 Hackman street. INTERMARRY, SAYS DOWIE. Advocates Mixture of Races and Cites Moses' Black Wife. Chicago, Ill.—Intermarriage of Negroes and whites—at least within the confines of Zion city—is the solution of the race question as proposed by John Alexander Dowie. "We are all members of one great family," is his rebuttal argument as set forth in the current number of his periodical. "Moses married a black woman and there was grumbling, but God said, 'My servant Moses is faithful in all mine house.'" "You hear men talking, like Lorimer of Boston—that high priest of Baal, a Mason who enters a lodge where Christ's sacred name can not be spoken—and he wants a 'illy white party,'" he goes on to say, directing his shaft at John Temple Graves of Atlanta. "I should think Miriam would about suit him. "Lorimer can not pray the prayer of faith. They can not pray who rebel merely because a white man marries a black woman. It is quite clean what God thought about the racial question, so called, in his action in regard to the wife of Moses. It is astonishing how much worthless religion there can be in people who call themselves Christians, but who are practically heathen, even in our own day." McLaughlin Will Get in Line New York, Oct. 22.—Ex-Police Commissioner Bernard York, one of Hugh McLaughlin's supporters in Kings county, announced yesterday that Mr. McLaughlin had decided to withdraw his opposition to Messrs. Grout and Fornes, the democratic nominees, for comptroller and president of the board of aldermen respectively. CHASE COURT-MARTIAL It Is Becoming Involved in a Maze of Legal Technicalities. Denver, Col., Oct. 23.—The attorneys for Brig. Gen. John Chase, commander of the national guard of Colorado, now on trial before a court-martial, are leading the court into a maze of legal technicalities. On the roster of the court there are but two attorneys. Yesterday the court decided that Gen. Chase made a legal oath in his return in the habeas corpus cases on which the perjury charge is founded, although the notary testified that he had not formally swore the general. Adjt. Gen. Bell was called to the stand and asked as to the source of his authority in the field. Attorney Elliott, for the defense, raised the point that the testimony of Gov. Peabody was the best evidence in this matter and at the same time announced that the defense proposed now to attack the validity of the perjury charge because of the fact, as he alleged, that it does not contain the allegation of an oath, which he declared was necessary before perjury could be proven. He immediately began an argument, but was stopped by the court and told to file his brief on the point. Gen. Bell was then questioned as to the habeas corpus proceedings, being repeatedly interrupted by Mr. Elliott. Angered by this, he arose and pointing his finger at Elliott declared he would answer questions in his own way. Elliott replied hotly and for a time it looked as if they would come to blows. The court ordered the room cleared, however, and the hearing proceeded behind closed doors. Arrest of Alleged Smugglers. Philadelphia, Oct. 23.—Henry Riedinger, storekeeper of the Hamburg American line steamship Assyria, was arrested by internal revenue officers yesterday charged with smuggling. Julius Friedenburg, a cigar dealer, was also taken into custody, charged with receiving smuggled cigars. The authorities have for two months been endeavoring to locate the smugglers. A Selzure of Smuggled Gems. New York, Oct. 23.—What officials of the customs house declare to be the largest seizure of smuggled goods ever made from an incoming passenger was made yesterday when diamonds and other jewels valued at $25,000 were taken from Capt. Gelat, a retired captain of the French marine service. Gelat was a passenger on the Teutonic. Operatim Refuse to Confer Operators Refuse to Confer. Trindad, Col., Oct. 23—Efforts by the United Mine Workers to induce the coal mine operators of District No. 15, embracing Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming to confer with their miners for the purpose of establishing an eight-hour day and increasing wages have been abandoned and a strike may be called within a week.

That it is a paper of Brain and Culture can not be doubted when the fact is remembered that in its columns are found communications from the wisest and best minds of our race. It is a paper FOR THE PEOPLE it represents, and can be relied upon as a friend of every colored man, though his face may be of ebony hue. THE GAEBTE is a practical demonstration of what can be done by the young man of our race. The editor is a young man who, by dint of INDUSTRY and ECONOMY and FAIR DEALING, has succeeded in giving to the colored people of Ohio and the country a PAPER WORTHY THE PATRONAGE OF ALL. Having been a reader of THE GAEBTE since its first appearance, and having watched its course, I feel that in justice to the paper, the editor and the race, I should urge upon the people generally, to support the paper that is PRACTICALLY identified with the COLORED people, and is in harmony with the interests and success of all without regard to Complexion.

Walls, Superintendent of Streets of Lebanon, Kentucky living on East Main "With my nightly rest broken, owing to irregularities of the kidneys, suffering intensely from severe pains in the small of my back and through the kidneys, and annoyed by painful passages of abnormal secretions, life was anything but pleasant for me. No amount of doctoring relieved this condition, and for the reason that nothing seemed to give me even temporary relief, I became about discouraged. One day I noticed in the newspapers the case of a man who was afflicted as I was and was cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. His words of praise for this remedy were so sincere that on the strength of his statement I went to the Hugh Murrey Drug Co.'s store and got a box. I found that the medicine was exactly as powerful a kidney remedy as represented. I experienced quick and lasting relief. Doan's Kidney pills will prove a blessing to all sufferers from kidney disorders who will give them a fair trial."

AVERY HARD BLOW AVERY HARD BLOW Canadians Feel Sore Over the Boundary Decision. American Title to the Chilkoot and White Passes is Confirmed—We Get Two Islands that Command the Entrance to the Pogiland Canal. London, Oct. 21.—The engrossed copy of the Alaskan award was signed yesterday. The Canadians declined to sign the award. Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette will submit the contrary opinions to the tribunal, so as to go officially on record, and while they declined to sign the award they signed the maps agreed on by the majority. The award relating to the Portland canal gives the United States two islands, Kannaghunut and Sitklan, commanding the entrance of the Portland channel and the ocean passage to Port Simpson and destroying the strategic value of Wales and Pearse islands, which are given to Canada. The mountain line adopted as the boundary lies so far from the coast as to give the United States substantially all the territory in dispute. The line completely clears all the bays and inlets and means of access to the sea, giving the United States a complete land barrier between Canada and the sea, from the Portland canal to Mount St. Elias. Around the head of the Lynn canal the line follows the watershed, somewhat in accordance with the present provisional boundary. The Canadians feel very sore over the outcome. They almost openly accuse Lord Alverstone of partisanship. When the latter presented them to King Edward at Buckingham palace the king endeavored vainly to induce Messrs. Jette and Aylesworth to say they were satisfied, or that they accepted the situation, but the two Canadians declined to in any way express acquiescence with this view. One of the Canadian commissioners afterwards said: "This award affects much more the relations between the Dominion and the mother country than people here seem to realize and almost marks the parting of the ways, at least so far as leaving any such question for England to decide for us." A Canadian who has been most intimately and prominently associated with the Alaskan case said: "This is the hardest blow the imperial tie has ever received. The place Lord Alverstone filled was clearly that of agent for the British government. It will be a shock to the Canadian people to know that, notwithstanding all the professions of friendship and sympathy, with solemn formalities, the international court has simply been used for the purpose of handing over Canadian territory to the United States. Canada has been not only spontaneous but zealous in defense of British territory and has not hesitated to sacrifice blood and treasure in defense of the motherland. She must now face the fact that when imperial interest or friendships require it her territory may be handed over without the slightest hesitation. This marks a most serious epoch in the relations between Canada and the mother country." The diversions from the American claim as set out in the Hay-Paunce-fote modus vivendi are even more favorable to the American case than the limitations set out in that document. One of the most important acquisitions is the confirmation of the American title to the White Pass and Chilkoot Pass, the only practical available entrances to the Klondike country from the head of the inland waterway, in the former of which stands the Canadian custom house, which must now give way to American control. The northern boundary stands exactly as it was claimed by the Americans 30 years ago and as set out in the modus. On the western side there is a slight diversion of the boundary line to the east as made by the commissioners as compared with the modus, so as to make the southern terminus at Cape Fairweather. This involves, it is believed, a loss of a few miles of territory from the extreme American claim, but it is said that this land is worthless for mining purposes and on the other hand the American prospectors have now confirmed beyond question their right to locate claims upon the supposed rich gold fields at the Klehini river. Philadelphia, Oct. 21.—It has been decided by the athletic association of the University of Pennsylvania to charge admission for a portion of the seats at the army and navy football game to be played on Franklin field on November 28. Heretofore no admission has been charged to see the game, the admission cards, about 21,000 in number, being divided equally between the West Point and Annapolis academies and the University of Pennsylvania, which in turn distributed them among friends of the institutions. This year more than 6,000 cards allotted to Pennsylvania will be sold at probably $2 each, and the proceeds turned over for the benefit of widows and orphans of soldiers and sailors. Washington, Oct. 21.—The president yesterday issued a proclamation calling the Fifty-eighth congress in extraordinary session on November 9. The proclamation states that the purpose of the session is to consider the commercial convention between the United States and Cuba which requires the approval of congress. Decided Against Venezuela. Port of Spain, Island of Trinidid, Oct. 21.—Jackson H. Ralston, of Washington, the umpire of the Italian commission at Caracas, Venezuela, has decided against Venezuela in the case of the government's claim for the double payment of local taxes, which decision applies in principle to the attempts now being made by the Venezuelan government to collect a second payment of taxes on goods imported at Ciudad Bolivar, under the recent revolutionary government at that port. The umpire holds that taxpayers were protected by the payment to the de facto officers. A Sult for $1,900,000. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 21.—A suit in which judgment is asked in the sum of $1,900,000 was begun yesterday in the district court of Hennepin county by four stockholders in the Star Petroleum Co., to restrain the officers of the company from removing the books of the concern to Texas, at the behest of W. E. Brice of Mason City, Ia. The suit is to compel the officers to account for their actions and it is alleged that the defendants are about to come into possession of $25,000, the proceeds of a sale, and that this sum is in danger of being wrongfully converted. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1903. THE AX FALLS. Four Men Lose Office as a Result of Mr. Bristow's Report of Irregularities in Postoffice Department. Washington, Oct. 22.—Postmaster General Payne on Wednesday removed from office Michael W. Louis, superintendent of supplies of the postoffice department; Louis Kempner, chief of the registry division of the third assistant postmaster general's office, and C. B. Terry, a $900 clerk in the postoffice department, and directed the postmaster at New York to remove Otto Weiss, a clerk. These removals are the first result of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow's report on the irregularities in the postoffice department. The postmaster general made an official announcement of his action as follows: "Michael W. Louis has been removed from the office of superintendent of the division of supplies because the recent investigation shows that he influenced the awarding of contracts for supplies to favored bidders; that he has been extravagant and was neglectful in the administration of his office; and that he has paid excessive prices for supplies to favored contractors. "Louis Kempner, superintendent, registry system, has been removed for incompetent and negligent administration; for wasteful and reckless extravagance in sending expensive manifold registration books to a large number of small fourth class postoffices; and for violating the revenue laws by a system of petty smuggling. "C. B. Terry, a clerk in the division of supplies, has been removed for making false affidavits; attempting to obtain money from clerks under the guise that he could influence their promotions, and general inefficiency." The postmaster general also stated that the postmaster at New York has been directed to remove Otto Weis, a clerk in the New York postoffice, for collecting money from clerks to influence legislation and to procure promotions. In reply to questions, Mr. Payne said the discharges were the result of disclosures made by the Bristow report. HE PLEADED GUILTY A Saloonkeeper Says He Committed Perjury While Testifying for Sam Parks. New York, Oct. 22.—Bernard Lynch, the saloonkeeper who was one of the witnesses for the defense in the trial of Sam Parks, the labor leader, for extortion, on Wednesday pleaded guilty of perjury and was remanded until Friday for sentence. Lynch was indicted for perjury along with Henry Farley and Timothy McCarthy after the trial of Parks for extortion, which resulted in the conviction of the labor leader. The extortion trial grew out of the charges of Joshua Plenty, a contractor, who said that he paid $200 to Parks in Lynch's saloon to call off a strike at the Hamburg-American line pier. Parks' witnesses swore to an alibi for Parks and said that they did not see him in the saloon on the day it was alleged that he received the money. Parks, who was also indicted on a charge of perjury, was to have appeared before Judge Foster yesterday. When up to noon he had not appeared Assistant District Attorney Randall asked the latter's counsel, James W. Osborne, if he would produce Parks in court. Mr. Osborne replied that he would make no promises in the matter. Mr. Randall then asked Inspector McClusky to assign detectives to look for Parks, who is now at liberty under $18,000 bail. The Missouri Shows Great Speed. Boston, Oct. 22.—The new battleship Missouri yesterday proved herself the queen of the seas in her class in a speed trial trip over the Cape Ann course with weather conditions of a considerably handicapping nature. Steaming over a course of 33 nautical miles and return, the battleship made an average speed of 18.05 knots per hour, which, with tidal corrections greatly in her favor, it is believed, will advance it to 18.22 knots, a new world's record for battleships. The battleship at one time attained a speed of 18.7 knots per hour. The contract requirements call for 18 knots. Decided Against Miller: Washington, Oct. 22.—Comptroller of the Treasury Tracewell gave an adverse opinion yesterday in the appeal taken by W. A. Miller, assistant foreman of the government printing office bindery, from the action of the auditor for the state and other departments, in disallowing the claim put in by him for compensation for the 63 days of his suspension and dismissal from the government printing office. The comptroller holds that Miller is not an officer, but an employee subject to dismissal at the pleasure of the public printer, and that he cannot be paid for work not performed. Arcbishop Kain's Funeral Archbishop Kain Fultenal. St. Louis, Oct. 22. "With all the pomp and ceremony befitting his high rank in the Roman Catholic church, the remains of Archbishop John J. Kain were laid to rest yesterday in Calvary cemetery beside Archbishop Kenrick, whom he succeeded and whose coadjutor he formerly was. Cardinal Gibbons, with an imposing array of the princes of the church, officiated at pontifical high requiem mass which was sung by 100 seminarians, accompanied by the immense organ in the old cathedral. An Editor's Fatal Fall. Indianapolis, Oct. 22.—S. E. Morss, owner of the Indianapolis Evening Sentinel, fell from a third, floor window of the Sentinel building yesterday and was instantly killed. Mr. Morss was born in Fort Wayne, Ind., December 15, 1852. In 1871-75 he was editor-in-chief of the Fort Wayne Gazette and later became editor and part owner of the Fort Wayne Sentinel. He was one of the founders of the Kansas City Star. In 1892 he was chairman of the Indiana delegation to the national democratic convention. From 1893 to 1897 he was United States consul at Paris. Gau. Black Is Sick Washington, Oct. 22.—John C. Black, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, is at Garfield hospital in this city, suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism. The physicians, however, hope for a speedy recovery. A New Job for Garfield. Princeton, N. J., Oct. 22.—The trustees of the university met yesterday. Henry A. Garfield, of Cleveland, son of the late President Garfield, was elected professor of politics, to fill the chair vacated by Prof. John H. Finley. YOUTH AND AGE. There Is a Material Difference That Is Not Always Ap- parent. Maitre Labori, the noted French advocate who defended the Humberts, is not remarkable in Paris so much for the eloquence as for the neatness and the polish of his speeches. An American journalist heard Labori in court one day. He says the advocate's address was full of grace, wit, tenderness. He quotes a passage relating to old age wherein Labori, with a smile, said: "Old age—we shall none of us quite understand that until we have attained to it—for no one of us, here, is old. But the other day I visited my uncle, a very aged man. "What is it like, uncle,' I said, 'to be old? "And my uncle answered: "It is like this: When one is young, one's polite attentions to women are taken for declarations of love; but when one is old, one's declarations of love are taken for polite attentions." For a Bad Back. Sabra, Montana, Oct. 19th.—A great many men in this neighborhood used to complain of pains in the back, but now scarcely one can be found who has any such trouble. Mr. Gottlieb Mill is largely responsible for the improvement, for it was he who first of all found the remedy for this Backache. He has recommended it to all his friends and neighbors, and in every case it has had wonderful success. Mr. Mill says:— "For many years I had been troubled with my Kidneys and pains in the small of my back. I tried many medicines but did not derive any benefit until last fall, when I bought a dozen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. After using them a few days I began to improve, my back quit aching and I felt better and stronger all around. "I will keep them in the house right along, for in my opinion they are the best medicine in the market to-day, and if my back should bother me again, I will use nothing else." Never Again Diway—Use an alarm clock nowadays? Jigsaw—No; never tried one but once. "How was that?" "Well, you see, the first time it went off I didn't exactly know what it was, and so I said: 'O, for heaven's sake, Maria, shut up!' Maria happened to be awake, and—well, that is how it was."—Stray Stories.

I wish such women knew the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It is a remarkable medicine, different in action from any I ever knew and thoroughly reliable. "I have seen cases where women doctored for years without permanent benefit, who were cured in less than three months after taking your Vegetable Compound, while others who were chronic and incurable came out cured, happy, and in perfect health after a thorough treatment with this medicine. I have never used it myself without gaining great benefit. A few doses restores my strength and appetite, and tones up the entire system.

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 Dr.'s sister, goa, gave me a 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, slick or in trouble to or write to 651 Fulton street to Dr. Ellarson at once, and pneumonia.
