Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, second-class matter. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. ALL INDUSTRIAL PRINTING TRADE COUNCIL CLEVELAND THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. 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, mor 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-American 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. Special correspondence to the Pittsburg Dispatch under date Sept. 18, kindly furnished us by Dr. A. R. Taylor of the Smoky City, confirms the position The Gazette took several weeks ago when it stigmatized as a "story cut out of whole cloth" the London, England, dispatch going the rounds of the American press to the effect that a London public inn keeper drew a color line and that there was a "race war" as a result. Also that there was no relief for such discrimination in English law. The correspondence referred to above-shows conclusively that there was absolutely no truth in the story. Herman C. Baehr, the republican candidate for county recorder, is one of the finest men in business in the city of Cleveland, a broad-guaged gentleman of intelligence and ability, conscientious, honest, as well as thoroughly sympathetic; generous to an extraordinary degree, he is the ideal, popular republican. Thousands of broadminded and public spirited democrats, as well as about all of the republicans in the county, will vote for him on Tuesday next. We ask for Mr. Baehr at the hands of our voters the practically unanimous support every indication points to his receiving from them. Whatever you do, do not fail to vote for our good friend, Mr. Herman C. Baehr, candidate for county recorder on the republican ticket. WILLIAM PICKENS' FUTURE. There seems to be no question in the public mind at least but that William Pickens, the most prominent Afro-American student of Yale college, is exceptionally promising and has a very bright future, providing of course, he uses good judgment in future efforts. The old admonition, "stay out of court," is without doubt the best thing for him to heed at the present. It will be the part of wisdom for him to drop his libel suit against The Boston Guardian, finish his studies at Yale and step out into the world with the friendship of more than two hundred race publications that do not by any means indorse his legal persecution of Boston confreres. No sensible person will for a moment underrate the influence of this large portion of the race press, and willfully turn his back upon the power it wields for good or evil; especially so promising a young man of the race, not yet out of college. Mr. Pickens' speech last week in this city before the A. M. A., made an excel- leit impression as far as we are able to turn. Certain it is, it has renewed, in our particular case, the interest in him and his future we lost in a large measure as a result of the most unfortunate position he took in his well-known essay on "Haiti." This is true of dozens of other race publications. Mr. Pickens has an opportunity to encourage and foster this interest which will mean so much to him in the next few years, by staying out of the courts—withdrawing his suit against The Boston Guardian. Is he careful, wise, and sufficiently sensible as to his future to do so? We hope, indeed, think so. Dr. Booker T. Washington made the greatest mistake of his career when he secured the arrest and jailing of Editor Trotter of The Guardian and his misguided follower by the name of Martin. It was wrong to disturb the now famous Boston Washington meeting and worse, ridiculously so, for the "Wizard of Tuskegee" and his Boston friends, to descend to such questionable depths in retaliation. The future will also show it to be far more hurtful than helpful, just as we have indicated above. The strong, intelligent, and proud members of the Afro-American press who possess the proper feeling for their professional brethren will not submit to such unreasonable treatment of one of their number even if that one in the heat of overzealousness in a cause many think just and right, steps beyond the limit of good judgment to say the least. Attorney Wilford Smith of New York City, who has charge of the Pickens case against the proprietor of The Boston Guardian, and who is also interested in the effort to raise funds to help prosecute several Alabama disfranchisement cases in the United States supreme court, can be of material assistance to Mr. Pickens along lines suggested above by giving a little wise counsel, and at the same time encourage many of the race press and through it thousands of our people to show more and greater practical interest in his cases. We sincerely trust Messrs. Pickens and Smith will take our suggestions in the friendly spirit given. In order to scare Afro-Americans into support of republican candidates for the legislature throughout the state, campaign speakers are saying that a failure to re-elect Senator Hanna may endanger the republican plurality in the United States senate and congress and thus make it possible for the latter, if democratic, to wipe out the amendments to the constitution as desired by southern democrats. Our people ought to know that congress, whether democratic or republican, has not the power to do this and it is wrong for designing individuals to try to so play upon their credulity. If Hanna is not re-elected to the United States senate he will never be missed, and from our people's particular viewpoint it will be a good thing. His six year membership in the senate has netted our people absolutely nothing, not even a kind word of encouragement or in our defense. "CHARLEY" GLENN DEAD.

King Menelik a Descendant of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon Cuban Ingratitude—Secured $500 Damages—White Pastor ofan A. M. E. Church Joe Gans Wins Two Rights, Ete Secretary of War Elihu Root took his confidential clerk, Major Arthur Brooks, a Washington, D. C., Afro-American, as his companion during his stay in Europe as a member of the Alaskan Boundary Commission. President McKinley carried his preference for southern democrats so far that he was idolized by them, who loved him for the way he made republican Negroes stand aside in all matters of Federal appointments and policy. But President McKinley was influenced in his course by the corporate interests (through Senator M. A. Hanna) which secured his nomination and election and dictated his actions in all matters of corporate policy. And it is an infamous fact, that while the Afro-Americans have consistently voted since the war to sustain those administrative policies without which corporate interests could not exist at all, these same corporate interests have been the most implacable enemies that the Afro-American people have had, or have, inside the republican party. They have persistently taken sides with the southern white democrats against us, in all matters of party policy, and the doors to their workshops were closed fast against us long before trades-unionism joined in the exclusion.—N. Y. Age. Speaking of King Menelik of Abyssinia, Africa, W. H. Ellis (white), a millionaire enthusiast on the future prospects of that country, wrote Bishop Turner recently: "You will remember, Biblically speaking, that the present emperor is a descendant of Solomon. He (Menelik) traces himself back to the visit of Queen Sheba to King Solomon. The Queen of Sheba was the Queen of Ethiopia, and the trading Jews of the early days drifted from Jerusalem to Abyssinia and told the queen of King Solomon, of his riches, his wisdom, etc.; that he was a dark man, and a great ruler sent from God. She packed her caravan, camels, etc., loaded them with rich presents, jewels, olive oil, etc., and proceeded to visit Solomon. She returned to her native country and gave birth to a son, known as Menelik the First. This is the ancestor of the present emperor of Ethiopia." Menelik's standing army numbers 100,000. Five years ago, they whipped the flower of the Italian army and drove them from Africa. There are five hundred enlisted Afro-Americans in the United States' navy. Our people of Georgia own 1,175,201 acres of land, and pay taxes on $15,189,069. At Greenville, S. C., a white jury has convicted a white man of criminal assault upon a woman of the race. A. F. Howard, of Chicago, is the inventor and manufacturer of a shoe-polish that received third prize at the Paris exposition. Mrs. Gabriella Pullem has secured a judgment against the C. & O. R. R. in the court of common pleas in Louisville for $500 for failing to provide the same accommodations for Afro-American passengers under the separate coach law. She was compelled to ride from Frankfort to Louisville March 15th, 1902, in a smoking car which was not heated. Andrew Beam, an Afro-American, who has earned a modest salary in machine shops of the Louisville and Nashville railroad in Birmingham, Ala., sold to the makers of the Janey car coupler, a coupler which he invented ten years ago, and has since perfected until found acceptable to railroad authorities. Whether as the result of race prejudice or otherwise, the Cuba authorities after much consideration have decided that the American Negro is undesirable and have decided to deport that class of immigrants. This comes in the nature of a surprise as it not only displays caste distinctions which will eventually operate against the Cubans but also evinces ingratitude, for when the Cubans were struggling for independence and freedom from Spanish oppression, the American Negro came to his rescue and in the front ranks in the severest contests for liberty. Now to refuse a helping hand to this same ally is unworthy of a brave and generous people who have only so recently been liberated from oppression through the aid of those whom it now rejects. —Louisville, (Ky.) American Baptist. A recent court trial developed the heretofore unknown fact that Rev. L. M. Fenwick, for many years an A. M. E. minister and at present pastor of St. Mark's A. M. E. church, Milwaukee, Wis., is a white man; also a graduate of a St. Louis, Mo., medical college. His congregation is divided as to his retention as pastor. The South Carolina Afro-Americans will contest the seats of "memberselect" of the next congress. Richard Wright of Georgia and Thomas Lillard of Tennessee, recently graduated in theology from the Berlin, Germany, university. Robert H. Skinner, United States counsel general at Marseilles, France, who is to make a visit in the interest of American trade to King Menelik, of Abyssinia, Africa, has announced that his private secretary for the trip will be Horace Wells, an Afro-American stenographer of Massillon, O. Bishop C. S. Smith's daughter teaches harmony in the Detroit conservatory of music and is the only Afro-American doing so. Years ago, Prof. Justin Holland, a member of the race, was a member of the faculty of the Cleveland conservatory of music. Joe Gans recently whipped Joe Grim, the Italian pugilist, and Ed Kennedy (white), of Pittsburg. Both affairs took place in a Philadelphia athletic club. A white man, who refused to tell the whereabouts of a brother accused of committing a crime, was lynched in Florida recently. A clerk (white) in a large store at Raleigh, N. C., was discharged recently for insulting one of our young ladies who was making a purchase there. Susan Robinson, 618 Ohio avenue, Jeffersonville, Ind., is 107 years old. She was born in Winchester, Ky., in 1796. WILL OPPOSE IT. People of Allegheny, Pa., Will Resist Any Attempt to Place the City Under Quarantine. Pittsburg, Oct. 29.—The residents of Allegheny are up in arms against the reported intention of Dr. W. R. Batt, quarantine officer of the state board of health, to place Allegheny under a general quarantine to prevent the spread of smallpox. There has been friction for some time between the Allegheny board of health and Dr. Batt as to the methods pursued in stamping out contagious diseases and it was announced yesterday from Philadelphia that Dr. Batt was en route to Allegheny to establish a general quarantine unless his ideas were put into force by the Allegheny board of health. Up until a late hour last night Dr. Batt had not arrived and no steps have been taken to institute a general quarantine. The officials and many prominent residents of Allegheny are incensed at the stand alleged to have been taken by Dr. Batt and claim to have the sanitary condition of their city well in hand and vigorously resent any interference by the state authorities. Major James A. McLaughlin, superintendent of the Allegheny health bureau, said last night: "We do not need any outside help. We have money and men, and, what is more, we have no epidemic of smallpox. This morning, according to the reports from my doctors, there are 31 cases of the disease in the city limits. Eleven of these are in the pesthouse and the other 20 are scattered, under guard, through the various wards. Of the 20 no less than 11 are on the verge of dismissal from quarantine. They have been convalescent for days and are about ready to be discharged. As far as the state quarantine goes we will resist it." NEEDED THE CASH. Woman accused of an attempt to extort Money Gives a Good Excuse. Columbus, O., Oct. 29—Deputy United States Marshal Bauer yesterday received from the district attorney at Cincinnati a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Samuel Boswell, of this city, on the charge of using the mails to defraud, but she was too ill to be taken into custody. It is alleged in the affidavit that Mrs. Boswell sent through the mails a letter to Z. L. White, a leading merchant of Columbus, demanding that he pay her $300 or "certain facts" would be exposed. It is alleged that the woman sent a similar letter to Senator Hanna demanding $500. The name Anna Klynn was signed in both instances. The identity of the sender was ascertained through a decoy letter. When confronted by the postoffice inspector, it is alleged that Mrs. Boswell admitted having sent the letters, saying she knew nothing derogatory to the persons to whom they had been addressed, and that her act was inspired solely by a desire to obtain money. When Deputy Marshal Bauer called at the Boswell residence to serve the warrant he found the woman suffering from nervous prostration and unable to be moved from the house. An agreement was made by which Mrs. Boswell will be arraigned before United States Commissioner Johnson as soon as she has sufficiently recovered. Mrs. Boswell is 55 years of age. Parry's Statement. Chicago, Oct. 29.—D. M. Parry, of the National Manufacturers' association, speaking yesterday of the purposes of the convention of employers' associations which will open here today, said: "The greatest work, perhaps, will be an effort to save the republic. Conditions are so bad that it will not be long before the nature of our government is changed and we shall have socialism. We purpose to see that there is no change in our government and that the existing condition of affairs is preserved. We will show the workingman a better way to improve his condition than through the unions as they now exist, or through socialism." Tested the "Electric Hole" Tested the "Electric Mule." Schenectady, N. Y., Oct. 29.—A test of a new electric system of canal towing, commonly known as the "electric mule" was made on the Erie canal here yesterday in the presence of Gov. Odell and a number of officials of the state public works department on the tow path of the canal. Four boats each loaded with 250 tons of sand were used for the test. One, two, three and four boats were drawn against the current. The electric motor took the four boats for the distance at a speed of five miles an hour. The average speed with horses or mules is one and a half miles an hour and about two miles an hour with steam. A Sentational Statement Fergus Falls, Minn., Oct. 29.—A sensation is promised in the big suit started January 8 last by the United States against the Commonwealth Lumber Co., of which Lieut. Gov. Jones is president, by the filing of an amended reply to an answer of the company. The amended reply states in unequivocal terms that Capt. Mercer, of the Seventh cavalry, who was at one time Indian agent at Leech Lake agency, and Daniel Sullivan, the acting superintendent of logs and logging, were in league with the company and aided and abetted in cutting green timber and neglected their duty to the government. To Aid Midway Islanders. Washington, Oct. 29.—Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling has cabled orders to Honolulu for the cruiser Iroquois to take on a supply of provisions and proceed at once to Midway Island in the North Pacific ocean for the purpose of affording relief to the force of 20 men employed at the cable station there. This action was based on information that the steamer recently sent to Midway Island with provisions for the few inhabitants there had been wrecked and that the food supply was running low and wound soon be exhausted. Midway Island is 1,200 miles from Honolulu. Bollermakers Strike. Susquehanna, Pa., Oct. 29.—The boilermakers on the entire system of the Erie railroad went on strike yesterday. The contention grows out of the discharge of men in all the shops of the company. The boilermakers claim a breach of agreement on the part of the company. Established a Nine-Hour Workday. Detroit, Mich., Oct. 29.—At a meeting of the National Union of Shipwrights, Joiners and Calkers of America, held here yesterday, a nine-hour workday was established. It was also voted to abolish Sunday labor. TAKEN FROM LIFE: BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT. ORIGINAL OZONIZED OX MARROW (Copyrighted.)

She tells whether your present sweetheart will marry you; if you have no sweetheart she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of accession. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUURE will be an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intimate husband. Do not keep campany, worry or go to school; you know all; do not let silly religious serpues prevent your consulting. Macmane is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is the reason they have not consulted the right Medium, unless successful people, in all probabilities, have been one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success. For advice by letter $L.00. All letters must contain stamps. J. A.

Alex Robinson is a member of the East High School foot ball team. J. B. Coram of Glennville is slowly recovering from his recent severe illness. Miss Stella Yates of Blaine street, entertained last week Friday evening. Miss Essie Mountain has resigned her position with the Morris Candy Company. Mr. and Mrs. John Prisby are visiting their daughter, Mrs. Joe Proctor, of Ravenna. Eubanks will be defeated by more than 5,000 votes on Tuesday next. As it should be! Before voting next week, just run over in your mind, Eubanks' career in this community. The Delmonico social club entertained its many friends at Woodliff hall last week Friday evening. Miss Margaret Moxley, formerly of Pittsburg, died of smallpox at the detention hospital last week Tuesday. The De Luzon whist club was entertained last week Thursday evening by Mr. John Early of Norman street. The new pastor of St. John's church is Rev. J. M. Gilmere, a very able member of the Pittsburg conference. Miss Mary Amelia Seldon will be married to Mr. Theophilus Dyer on Wednesday evening, Nov. 18, at 217 Sibley street. "Ted" Greene, the star half back of the Case football team, has blood poisoning in his left foot, caused from an injury received in practice. Mr. Charlie French of Boston, arrived in the city Wednesday and will enter the restaurant and cafe business with his brother, Mr. Albert French, at No. 608 Central avenue. J. A. Sterrett has just purchased and refitted all the billiard and pool tables in his well-known establishment on Central avenue, corner Sked street. This is encouraging. When, in 1899, Henry Eubanks was opposing the election to the legislature of the editor of this paper, and in 1901 when opposing the election of Hon. W. J. Akers, republican candidate for mayor, he didn't dream that "the chickens would come home to roost" so soon. The Second A. M. E. church will give a reception to its new pastor, Rev. W. J. Johnson, and wife, at the church on Hudson street, on Tuesday evening. Mr. James Johnson is chairman of the committee of arrangements and Mr. George Brooks is secretary. After Tom Johnson was first elected mayor in 1901, it is said Henry Eubanks applied for a job in recognition of services rendered during the campaign, and was offered a position on one of the bridges. Ask those at the city hall who claim to know all the particulars. The strong Afro-American basket ball team in the Alta house has reorganized for the season with Lewis E. Johnson as captain and Dennis H. Fowler as manager. They have a strong nucleus for a good team and will undoubtedly make other Ohio teams hustle for the state championship. We wish to brand as willfully malicious the statement made on Monday evening by irresponsible individuals to the effect that the editor of The Gazette had anything whatever to do, directly or indirectly, with the refusal of those in charge of Flynn's hall on Superior street, to permit its use as anticipated by the few who gathered there at the time mentioned only to be disappointed. The Gazette has received an invitation to attend the marriage of Miss Bessie Clarece Porter, of Nashville, to Dr. Joseph H. Carroll, formerly of this city, on Wednesday evening, Nov. 11, at Clark Memorial, Nashville, Tenn. A reception will be held at the home of the bride, 618 S. Cherry street, from 6 to 11 p. m. Dr. and Mrs. Carroll will be at home after Nov. 12, at 259 St. Clair avenue, Columbus. Mr. Andrew Mayo, of 272 Pearl street, aged 46 years, died the 21st of typhoid-pneumonia. His wife, son, father, Jesse Mayo, and sister, Mrs. M. J. Russell of Catletsburg, Ky., were at his bedside when he died. He leaves a wife, son, father, three sisters, one brother and a host of friends to mourn his loss. Funeral services conducted by Rev, J. S. Jackson. The choir sang three selections, the deceased's favorite hymns. Burial Oct. 23, at Woodland cemetery. Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard university, Washington, D. C., who was here last week in attendance upon the American Missionary Association convention, in session at Plymouth church, delivered an excellent speech on last week Thursday evening. It was well received. He left for home the following evening. Most successful indeed was "The Event of The Season," the grand opening ball at Forest street armory, on last week Wednesday evening, given under the management of A. H. Bowman's popular orchestra, assisted by John Kirk's Euclid Beach orchestra. Mr. Bowman's success was in part due to his splendid advertising of the affair. Young Bros., who had charge of the catering, also did a splendid business on that night. The jury in the case of Robert Dennie, who was arrested recently on a charge of stealing money from a man in a barber shop where he worked, brought in a verdict of not guilty on last week Friday evening, giving him an honorable acquittal. From the day he was arrested until the acquittal, his wife worked unceasingly in his behalf and it was due largely to her good work in getting the editor of The Gazette and others interested in the case, that such good results were obtained. Senator, Clark, Mr. Dennie's attorney, did splendid work also. The republican mass meeting, announced to be held at the wigwam, corner Streator and Cedar avenues, under the alleged auspices of the East End Republican club, on last week Thursday evening, proved a flat failure. It was to be in Eubank's favor. Few Afro-Americans in the East End, as well as elsewhere throughout the city, will vote for Eubanks. Mr. Robert Greene is visiting his mother in Salem for a few days. Mrs. F. C. Brown has returned to Findlay after a two weeks' visit in this city and Oberlin. Mrs. Maud Lawson is visiting her father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. Johnson of Akron. Mrs. Hattie Walker and her dancing class, which was to open at Flynn's hall on Superior street, Monday evening, after a postponement or two of the opening date, certainly seemed to be having their troubles. So many who were originally invited to join the class refused to become members as a result of the alleged "blue vein" reception referred to in our last issue that it is said invitations were sent out rather promiscuously to many other persons for the purpose of recruiting the prospective class. Last Monday evening some of the originally invited and others with Mrs. Walker gathered at Flynn's hall for the purpose of starting, but for some reason or other were refused the use of the hall. After a good deal of skirmishing a little hall was secured on the corner of Wade Park avenue and Genesee street. Hardly had the miniature ball opened before the violinist's instrument broke with the result that it was necessary to get along with the piano only, for a goodly portion of the evening. The opening therefore was anything but a brilliant affair from almost every view point, and the prospects seem to be anything but bright. So "hot" was the reception Johnny Green got at Woodliff hall when assailing the editor of The Gazette week before last that he refrained from another such attempt at the Perry theater last week. Clerk Green evidently promised "to be good" during the remainder of the campaign. Frank H. Warren, esq., of Detroit, Prof. Z. W. Mitchell, Messrs. Tylor, Walter Brown and others spoke Monday afternoon at the Inter-State League meeting at Woodliff hall. At Monday evening's meeting President Warren delivered his annual address which was in the main exceptionally strong and extremely creditable to him and his organization. Tuesday afternoon's session was notable as a result of the adoption of resolutions and the annual address to the country. Both were interesting productions. The mass meeting of Tuesday evening which closed the sessions, presided over by President Warren of the league, proved a unique affair, owing to the fact that free speech was its chief characteristic. There were a number of strong talks on all sides of many race questions. Cass Sellers, esq., of Macon, Ga., arrived in the city the first of the week and is visiting his mother on Arlington street. Keep in mind that the Young Ladies' Loyalty club of Shiloh church, will serve the Thanksgiving dinner at the church and in the evening will render a splendid cantata entitled, "Between the Acts." It will pay you to read the advertisement headed "Fuel Economizer." Winter is fast approaching, coal is expensive and if you wish to save, get the Economizer. It saves from one-fourth to one-half fuel. Try it and see. Only two left. An economizer will soon pay for itself. The editor of The Gazette uses one at his home. Frank H. Warren, esq., of Detroit, while in the city the first of the week, attending the meetings of the Inter-State League of Voters, paid The Gazette office pleasant calls. He stopped at the Forest City House. stopped at the Forest City Church. Frank Edwards and Miss Mellie Neal were married on the 21st, at 92 Hick street, and John H. Cook and Miss Clater Bradshaw were married at Mr. Beason's, 21 Woodland avenue, on the 23rd, Rev. W. R. Wilson officiating at both services. Revs. George Eccles and Charles Morrison were ordained to the ministry under the auspices of Tried Stone Baptist church on the 18th, by a council of five elders and four deacons by laying on of the hands, etc. At 3 p. m. the sermon was delivered by Rev. J. H. Huff; prayer, Rev. L. J. Bocock; charge to candidates and church, Rev. A. J. Thompson, presentation of the Bible, Rev. W. R. Wilson. Hand of welcome by council and congregation. Rev. Huff was chosen moderator of the council and Rev. W. R. Wilson secretary. Special services at the church, 448 Broadway, Sunday at 10:30 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. With the exception of a little political filbustering by Frank Lee the open mass meeting held at Woodliff hall Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Inter-State League of Voters was a pleasant affair as well as intensely interested to all present. Frank H. Warren of Detroit, president of the league, presided until 9.30 p. m., when he was obliged to leave to catch a boat home to Detroit. He was succeeded by Mr. Tyler who closed the meeting with one of the cleverest and most forceful talks of the evening. Other speakers were Walter L. Brown, Albert I. Williams, S. E. Woods, Frank Lee, Cass Sellers and the editor of The Gazette who was the principal speaker of the evening. He made it clear to the audience why Hanna and Eubanks' defeats were desirable and would be exceptionally pleasing and beneficial to our people, and also discussed thoroughly the present position and condition from a citizen-right and political standpoint of the Afro-American. Throughout his talk the audience was most generous in its applause because it was pitched upon a plane far above partisan politics, being a "race" speech, pure and simple. The presence of three or four stalwart policemen at a certain stage of the evening's proceedings had a most salutary effect upon two or three obsreperous individuals, most conspicuous among whom were Messrs. Lee and Fulton. Those in charge of the meeting did not propose to have it disturbed and practically broken up as was the case one evening in last spring's campaign when Eubanks, Myers, Clifford and others of the "Little Black Tammany" created so much disturbance in the same hall while Attorney Armistead of Gallipolis was speaking. By the way, Clifford made considerable of a "show" of himself at the Perry theater meeting one evening last week when Julius Early, commonly known as "Gum Gum," was ejected from the meeting. For a purpose perfectly clear to all who read what follows, he (Clifford) arose in the meeting and said: "Mr. Chairman, I protest against any white man putting a colored man out of a colored man's meeting." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1903. "Usefulness a Test of a Beautiful Hand," was the subject of Rev. H. C. Bailey's discourse Sunday morning. He defined the word beauty and what constituted it and forcibly impressed his hearers with the fact that beautiful acts produce beautiful hands. Deeds of kindness and charity make a beautiful life. There was a large attendance at Antioch Sunday school. The B. Y. P. U. held a splendid service in the evening the topic being "Giving." The discussion was general and much interest was aroused. The evening service opened at 8 p. m. with a crowded house. Rev. Bailey discussed "The Prodigal Son" in a way that carried his audience with him. For three-quarters of an hour they sat spellbound and listened to a masterly array of eloquence and argument. WANTED.—Housekeeper—20 years' old, must not be over 30 and must be a first class woman.

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.

Compound and wi MYSTERY OF MEMORY. ‘& Postal Clerk’s Wonderful Feat—No Adequate Scient'fe Exp!anation of the Wonder. ‘The newspapers are telling of the remarkable feat of a postal clerk who, in a civil service examination, did not make a single error in prop- erly ‘sorting 42,000 test postal cards, each representing a postoffice in a cer- ‘tain territory assigned. This was done at the rate of 331-3 cards a minute; Far more noteworthy is the memory of an expert piano player, who will play an entire season’s con- verts without a note of printed music before him. His memory ts so perfect that hundreds of thousands of notes must be at the orderly and instant disposal of the will. And this is com- bined with a multiplicity of synchron- ous recollections of timbre, tempo, expression, ete. The mystery is at present past the ‘hinting of any explanation, and this fact is as beautiful as it is appalling. “It shows us; declares American Medi- -eine, how far we are from any real selence of psychology. Physicians mote the strange thrusting of disease among the mechanisms of memory, ithe morbid effects of some neoplasin or injury to parts of the conyolutions of the brain whereby some memories are lost temporarily or permanently, in part or completely, while others are unaffected, Even this leaves usin samazement at the inscrutable com- yBlexity and methods of the cellular machine. But through these morbid injuries “we catch tantalizing glimpses which some day, properly studied and fol- flowed up, may bring some psychologic physician to an unraveling of the mysterv. & Pte ieee re eee a es ere { ERUULppine Positions Not Wanted. \ ‘Positions in the Philippines seem to go begging.

Sam Parks Is Alleged to Have Told the Person Who Paid Him the Money that He was Not In Business for His Health and Had a Fortune. | New York, Oct. 29.—The first wit- ess called yesterday in the trial of Samuel Parks on the charge of ex- tortion was Benjamin Thackara. He is the man who, it is alleged, was sent by the Tiffany Corporation to see Parks to ascertain why the men em- ployed by it stopped working in some buildings in this city last. December. He told of his meeting with Parks and of having asked him why the men had stopped work. Parks said, according to the witness, “Tiffany is fined $500 and if you're not prepared to settle send Tiffany to see me.” Thackara said. that he asked Parks to go and see Tiffany, but that the accused replied: “You go back and tell Tiffany to go to —— and Jerome and the whole crew.” David Frazee, general superinten- dent, employed by the Tiffany Studios, told of his interview with Parks in a saloon January 5, when Parks again said that. Tiffany was fined $500. Later in the same day Frazee, accompanied by — Lonis Schmitt, treasurer of the Tiffany corporation, visited Parks in his own home. Schmitt asked Parks, the wit- ness said, why the “fine” of $500 was imposed and Parks replied: “Now you're fined $500 and you are getting off light. It ought to be $1,000. Iam not in this business for my health and you're getting off easy. Other firms have done business with me and if you don’t wish to pay you can fight it like some other firms, who changed their minds pretty quick.” “Does this money go to the labor union?” asked Schmitt. “It goes to Sam Parks anda few others,” was the reply made by the accused, according to the witness. “I have lost my health working for a lot of ungrateful people who would throw me down in a minute if every- thing did not go right. I am going away soon for my health and after a few months you will not hear of Sam Parks in labor troubles. I’ve got enough to keep me comfortable dur- ing the rest of my life.” Lonis Schmitt, treasurer of Tiffany Studios, was the next witness and his story of the interveiw with Parks on November 5 was in the main corrobor- ative of Frazee’s testimony. Parks told them that the fine should be paid and until it was, not a bit of work would be done on the Tiffany jobs. Witness said that Parks’ reply to his question as to whom the money Would go, was “it goes to Sam Parks, and you can go to any of the firms that have done business with me and iind out that Sam Parks’ word goes.” Schmitt testified that Parks refused to accept a check when he suggested St method of paying the “fine,” say+ : “You don’t think that I was born yesterday. I want bifls and you can, get them’ marked by Tiffany or Jerome or any one you like.” AA stir went around the court room| when the witness told of Parks saying that he could employ non-union men. “Why, the union mer will kick, I said to him,” the witness declared. Never mind,” Parks replied, “I've got those —_—— muzzled and if any one of them objects I will fine Him $30 and he can’t get another job in the city.” Schmitt then testified that he had gone alone to Parks’ residence on January 7, two days later, and handed Parks an envelope containing $500 iw bills and gold. Parks then said thav the men would resume wori the fal- lowmg morning, which they did. During the _cross-examination, Schmitt said that Parks told him that the ‘Tiffany studios were employing non-union or union mem as they deem- ed fit. Parks had told the witness that the Hecla iron works had paid him $2,000, but that he had distributed this among the members of his organ- ization. He knew that Parks was committing a crime in accepting the $500 and-Parks’ intimation that he mignt report it to the district attor- ney if he liked had taken his breath APRN: 1 At the conclusion of Schmitt's tes- timony court adiourned for the day.

He was going to Leadville in the early days on a stage coach which was held up by highwaymen. The passengers were ranged in a Tow out side with their hands up, the familiar at- titude being enforced by a gun in the hands of one of the gentlemen of the road, while the other went through the various pockets at his leisure. ° Iu the midst of the ceremony Mr. Bell’s nose began to itch with that maddening persistency calculated to drive to insanity or the grave if not relieved. Involuntarily his right hand began to lower itself to the seat of troubles. “Hands up there!” called the man be- hind the gun, sternly. His hand shot back into ie but in a moment began to lower itself again, “What's the matter with you?” inquired the bandit “Are you anxious to become a lead mine?” “My nose itches so I can’t stand it any longer,” said Mr. Bell. “I’ve simply got to scratch it.” “No, you hain’t,” replied the agent, “be- cause I'll do it for you.” With which he proceeded to scratch the Prospective congressional nose with the muzzle of his shotgun. IT WOULDN’T COME OFF. We Had a Face That Indeltibly Im- Pressed All Who Got a Glimpse of It. A Duluth attorney recently went east to visit his old home, and the first Sunday he was there he attended chureh, relates the Duluth News-Tribune. After’ service he visited the Sunday school and saw many famihat faces among the pupils, althoug! they had all grown considerably during the years he had been away. At the request of the superintendent the visitor addressed the school, and in open- ing he asked if there were any present who remembered him—who had ever seen him before. z The hand of a little fellow in the front row immediately went up “I do—I do!” he said, ‘ A satisfied smile crept over the face of the visitor. He was glad that the chil- dren remembered him. “Now, where was it you saw me be- fore” he asked the boy who had raised huis hand. “You was the clown in the circus last summer!” replied the youth, enthusias- tically. “I'd never forget your face.” ‘The McBride Case Again.

A Woman Saved From Life-Long Misery and Made Happy and Useful. A woman coniined to the howe, several years with a chronic female derangement had finally given up hope of being cured. She had tried physician after physi- cian, and remedy after remedy, without any permanent improvement. Her treatment had cost her husband who was a poor man, hundreds of dol- lars. They had» been obliged to deny themselves many comforts of life in order to get money enough to pay the physicians. ‘The woman had become weak, nervous and wretched, and scarcely able to keep out of her bed. Her children were growing up neglected and ragged, be- cause of the want of a mother’s care. Her husband was becoming discouraged and broken down with overwork. Picking up the paper one day she hap- pened to read an item which contained the news that Dr. Hartman would treat such cases free of charge by letter. She immediately wrote the doctor describing her case, and giving him all her symp toms. She soon received a letter telling her exactly what to do, and what medicines and appliances to get. She began the treatment (the principal remedy being Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks she was well and strong again, able to do her own work, ‘This offer of free home treatment to women is still open to all who may need the services of this eminent physician. All letters applying for treatment will be promptly answered, and be held strictly confidential.

I was told that Peruna was good for building up the nervous system. After using it for two months I know now that it is. I want to say that it made a new woman of me. The torturing symptoms have al? disappeared and I feel myself again. Peruna did me more good than ail tiie other medicines I have taken.” ANNIE HOBAN, ‘Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles, Louisiana, writes: “f sincerely believe that Peruna is woman’s best friend, for it has certainly been that to me.
