ALL U.S. PRINTING TRADE S COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, NOV. 28, 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. The separate car law or ordnance for the street railways of Houston, Texas, which recently became operative, is meeting with considerable opposition from our people. They put on a number of hacks, charging a five-cent fare, which are doing a good business. Many walked rather than ride in the "Jim Crow" cars Good! Our people of Houston are striking the railway company in the right, most sensitive and most vital part—the pocketbook. We trust they will continue to do so until the separate cars are taken off. If the editor of the Kentucky Standard could come to Cleveland, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, and see the offices Hanna has lost in the past three years, for the republicans of both city and county, he would know that Ohio's lily-white republican sympathizing senator certainly has not developed a habit of winning all campaigns he participates in." Hanna has lost nearly every office in the city and county. Indeed he has not won a single victory in three years, he can call his own or that of the republican party alone. FOUR COLORED GIRLS WIN IN A CONTEST OF TWELVE. We find it always in keeping with strictest duty as well as a matter of extreme pleasure to give to the public all facts of interest appertaining to the progress of the race. The contest at San Francisco some months ago in which four young girls of the race, out of twelve competitors, successfully passed the required examinations, was one which entitled them to share in the Hochstadter bequest for a college education. The bequest after many years, will be applied for the purpose for which it was intended. It is a matter of congratulation to the friends of the successful competitors, that those who share in the benefits of the bequest with the credits earned, are Margaret Wilson, 330 credits, FlorenceM. Wastly, 309 credits, Ellen Ford, 299 credits and Ethel Sutherlin, 286 credits. Alfonso Simpson made 274 credits, though barred from the benefit of the bequest, is the fifth on the list. Of the twelve competitors, seven were girls and five were boys. The examination with its arrangements were duly advertised and conducted under the direction of Superintendent Webster of the public schools. There was no great surprise felt that these Afro-American girls were known among the successful competitors. Their reputation was already well known. Of the successful candidates, each have the privilege of selecting one of a dozen educational institutions located in the southeastern part of the United States and receive $100 a year for a term of four years. This bequest was made by Elias/Hochstadter, a wealthy bachelor, who died in France in 1890. But what is the inspiration, and what the lesson taught? It affords proof of an enobling possibility and of an achievement which lies in the reach of our girls throughout the country. It is theirs not only to aspire, but to win. Facts, figures and merit when fairly dispensed will tell and we are proud that an awakening interest is being so signally demonstrated. We are proud that our youth are availing themselves of these rare opportunities to assert the intellectual and moral worth of the race. We are glad that they are improving the opportunity in a way that is at once conclusive and reassuring. The action of these young girls is a message proclaimed to the rising youth of the race. It speaks volumes for Afro-American children and parents who are asking themselves the question, "Why educate?" But a possibility won, is but the proof of what yet may be attained. Each victory and triumph is but the royal road, which leads the way to nobler things and grander heights. Throughout the great cities of the Nation a voice speaks in tones of thunder to Afro-American children. "Press onward! On to glory; nor despair in anything which is made possible to the grasp of the human mind." WILL VIRGINIA BE UNJUST. An extra session of the legislature of Virginia called next January 23rd, to amend the constitution so as to deprive the mass of the colored people of the right of suffrage, will, if its purpose is carried out, put the state in line with Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and the Carolinas. But Virginia might well proft from the lesson already taught by the above named states, because it stands in proof that of these, there has been no material advantage gained beyond that of gratifying a deep seated and hurtful feeling of race prejudice. Every state in the Union acting upon the principle of fair dealing has shared a degree of thrift and prosperity that has been simply surprising. The tendency has been to repress the spirit of enterprise and in- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1903. terest among the masses on the one hand and to awaken on the other a feeling of mutual concern with both races. Professedly the southern whites are learned in morals and jurisprudence, learned in the history and struggles of the people of Mosaic times, they acknowledge themselves pledged to every Christian duty, yet are actively opposed to the very measures to which they are committed. With unmatched audacity they show little regard for the constitution of the fathers. But under our free system of government an obligation upon the citizen is as binding upon one as upon the other. An obligation binds all the parties concerned and he who regards not his own part of the contract as a citizen has only to surrender his claims to loyal hands. Now since the Negro as a citizen is bound to regard his own obligations and respect the claims of his white fellow citizens, it follows as a matter in ethics and law that his own rights should be respected and protected. States as well as individuals are mutually bound to respect the universal and fundamental law and in that respect only can the rights of citizens collectively be respected. Such is the purpose and intent of free government and whoever antagonizes this purpose and intent is in any and every sense an enemy and a traitor to the best interest and hopes of the people. Ambitious and scheming politicians may bluster as they will for the disfranchisement of the citizen to the manor born, but despite their smoothest sophistry and most wily pleadings, they stand today an unmasked, and unconscionable class of men who would not scruple to disbar any race from the right to vote. Now, if the advocates of this project have not yet considered the great moral wrong of their action, they certainly have felt in their souls a pressure of guilt and unrest that they have not done unto their black brothers as they would have him to do them. Any state entering into a bargain to rob the Afro-American of his right as a citizen has never yet found a single advantage accruing to itself. The act has ever been one of wrong and robbery, humiliating the manhood and ambition of those so wronged. It has restricted the hard working and industrious Negro element to an absolute condition of servitude and made him a thing of chance and the tool of others, while at the same time it has induced a growing feeling of caste, of violence and bloodshed among that class of the whites who would dominate in crimes of injustice until hardened in the sin of indifference, they are smitten with a sort of political paralysis from which they find no resuscitation. In what way then have the defendant states grown and prospered or been benefitted from disfranchisement. But in the face of what is even now contemplated on the part of the next session of congress to reduce representation why should Virginia risk the undertaking? We brand the action of the defendant states as a stupendous fraud which calls for the condemnation of the entire country. The selection of illiteracy as a qualifying and just reason for disfranchisement is sinister and unfair; because nowhere are illiterate white men disfranchised. Virginia cannot afford to be unjust, it cannot afford to enter upon this new line of statehood blindfolded, it cannot afford to defy the government, it cannot afford to eliminate and oppress her colored citizens. It can afford to be magnanimous, to be generous and fair dealing to her weaker and toiling thousands of black men who look to the better class of intelligent and Christian white people to shield and protect them in the exercise of a free citizenship. Father Moran on the Tillman Lecs furs St. Patrick's Church, 302 Bridge street. Cleveland, O., Nov. 23, 1903. Editor The Gazette: I have your marked copy of The Gazette in which you say regarding Senator Tillman's lecture in our course that "it is hard to believe that there is an organization in Cleveland, especially a church club, that would extend an invitation to lecture to so notoriously vile an individual." Permit me to say that we did not invite Mr. Tillman because we endorse his views. We disagree with him on many subjects and on none perhaps more than on the race question. Our club has the highest respect for the colored race and hope that they may receive every consideration their condition and importance demand. We regard the colored people as our brethren and see no reason why there should be any discrimination against them in favor of our white population. Our republic is not for white people; it is for freemen. Senator Tillman was invited that we might have an opportunity to learn his views from his own lips. We have heard him and our verdict is that the colored people need not fear him. His own statement is the best argument in their favor and against his personal contention. Sincerely. Elected Delegate Bellaire, O.-The Thanksgiving dinner and concert at the A. M. E. church was quite a success.-Thanksgiving services were held at the Market street church, Wheeling, conducted by Rev.

The Central Labor Union of New York City has inaugurated a movement to form a purely labor political party. A committee composed of democrats, republicans and socialists was named to draw up a platform. The action followed addresses by fraternal delegates from England to the American Federation of Labor at a meeting of the Central Labor organization. These delegates told of the success of trades unions in English politics. Student disturbances occurred at the university at Barcelona, in the course of which a bomb was thrown.

INDIVIDUALITIES. Dr. J. Wilson Swan, the inventor of the incandescent electric light, has just entered his seventy-sixth year. It is nearly a generation ago since Dr. Swan first publicly exhibited the electric light, which has now become universal. In all the big crowds who attend the opening of congress none among the visitors was more proud than Mrs. Mary Kumler Landis, of Kokomo, Ind., who from a seat in the members' gallery looked down and saw her two sons. Frederick H. and Charles B., take their seats among the nation's legislators. Mrs. Landis is 70 years old and she enjoyed to the full an opportunity given to but few American mothers. Judge Kinkade, of Toledo, in commenting on a divorce case of which he had heard the details, recommended the purchase of a public spanking machine. He said he would have had it used on the parties in the presence of their little daughter, who had been obliged to witness the proceedings in the case of her parents, Lulu and Oro Fairchild. He said that about all that was needed in many divorce cases was a good spanking. A deal of confusion exists as to the proper way to pronounce the name Goelet. Even in New York one may hear "Go-let," "Goo-lay," "Go-lay," "Jo-lay" and other attempts. By affecting a combination of the two words "go" and let," with the accent on the latter, the proper pronunciation may be attained. The founder of the American family was a Huguenot refugee, who came to the new world in 1640. He spelled his name "Goelette." In his milder moments Senator Pettus, of Alabama, occasionally swears "by gravy," but he warn everybody to avoid eating gravy with meat. Quoth the old gentleman: "Young man, observe me. The congressional directory says I am 83, Maybe I am, but if so it is due in good measure to the fact that I hardly ever touch gravy, which is shortening the life of our race, just as many other French abominations are doing." "But senator," urged his youthful auditor, "maybe your regular habits of life—no late hours and that sort of thing—have alded you in reaching such a ripe old age." With a contemptuous snort, the aged Alabama statesman said: "My habits have always been like a verb—regular, irregular and defective." VERY SENSATIONAL Was the Final Session of A. F. of L. Convention. A San Francisco Delegate Declared that Certain Members of U. S. Senate are Combined to Antagonize "Labor Legislation" —Gompers Re-elected. Boston, Nov. 23.—Samuel Gompers was Saturday re-elected president of the American Federation of Labor by a large plurality. Boston, Nov. 24.—Just before adjourning last evening, without warning the convention entered into one of its most sensational hours. The report advocating the reappointment by the executive council of a legislative committee to follow the labor legislation at Washington occasioned one of the most earnest debates of the session. Delegate Barnes, of Philadelphia, declared that the committee was unnecessary and he was supported by other delegates. Mr. Duncan, of the executive committee, defended it and he was followed by another member of the committee, Delegate Furuseth, of San Francisco, the organizer of the Seamen's union and one of the leading members of the convention. In justifying the existence of the committee, Mr. Furuseth in a forceful and dramatic manner delivered an arraignment of the United States senate. "I tell you," he said, "and I want to leave these words with you, that there is in the senate a party without a name, that deliberately and with malice aforethought, step by step, is taking from the working people every right the men have and creating conditions which will make all your legislation in other directions of no use." Mr. Furuseth closed by telling the convention that Senators Platt, of Connecticut; Lodge, of Massachusetts; Hanna, of Ohio, and Morgan, of Alabama, should be watched with the greatest care. "A few more I could name, but if I don't mention them I will get along better," were his words. The report of the committee was concurred in. A resolution was adopted asking all working people to purchase goods bearing the union label. The committee on boycott recommended the greatest caution in establishing boycots. In adjourning the convention President Gompers declared that it has been unquestionably one of the most memorable and significant conventions in the history of the whole labor movement and that matters of the greatest moment had been decided. DISASTER AT SEA Story of the Wreck of a French Ship Is Told by Four Survivors—Nine of the Crew are Missing. San Francisco, Nov. 24.—A raft containing the first mate and three sailors of the wrecked bark Francois Coppe came ashore in Tomales Bay yesterday and the men, after securing succor at a neighboring ranch, were driven to a railway station and reached this city last night. The survivors are all Frenchmen and the story told disproves the earlier suspicions of a mutiny on board. According to their story the Coppe had been sailing in a fog for three days and Capt. Irneye Friday night believed that he was on the San Francisco side of the Farallone Islands when, as the disaster proved, he was near the coast line. The four men have a very vague idea as to the place where the ship struck on the rocks in Tomales Bay. They say that the night was very dark and stormy and huge waves were dashing violently against the ship after she struck. It was deemed advisable to launch two small boats first. These were lost in the angry seas, but they had no occupants. Then the big life boat was provisioned and launched and held fast with a rope, but when nine men had been lowered into it the rope broke. The life boat was then in danger of being dashed to pieces and there was no way of getting back to the ship, and for self-preservation the nine men were compelled to pull away. They were later picked up by the Scotia. The four men who came to San Francisco then constructed a raft and took the chance of being washed ashore. What became of the captain and eight sailors yet unaccounted for, the first mate could not say. Hundreds of Desertions. Washington, Nov. 24. Because of the large number of desertions from British vessels while in port at San Francisco, the British embassy has furnished the state department with evidence against alleged "crimpers" in San Francisco, that will, it is believed, result in a rigid investigation and possibly a number of prosecutions. The embassy officials assert that the so-called "sailors' home" at San Francisco is headquarters for "crimpers." Statistics show that there were 638 desertions from 64 British vessels carrying 1,778 men. Explosion Caused Two Deaths. Explosion Caused Two Deaths. Emporium, Pa., Nov. 24.—Two persons were killed and one seriously injured Monday by the explosion of a large quantity of nitro-glycerine at the Keystone nitro-glycerine works about a mile from here. Those killed were John Morse and H. Cruikshank. George Nickerson had one of his lower limbs terribly crushed. Hundreds of panes of glass were broken in this village. Explorers are Rescued. New York, Nov. 24.—Telegrams received here from Santa Cruz announce, says a Herald dispatch from Buenos Ayres, Argentina, the arrival there of the Argentine gunboat Uruguay with members of the Swedish antarctic expedition under Nordenskjold. One sailor died last winter. With this exception all the members of the expedition are well. The party was found divided, some of the members being at Cape Seymour and the others at Louis Philippe Land. Nordenskjold's vessel, the Antarctic, was crushed in the ice February 12 of this year. Six Men Sentenced: Topeka, Kan., Nov. 24.—Six of the convicts who took part in the mutiny at the Fort Leavenworth federal prison two years ago, when Guard Waldrupe was killed, pleaded guilty yesterday to the charge of manslaughter and were given sentences as follows: Sol Southerland and David Grayson, three years and a fine of $1,000; Donald Norris, five years and a fine of $500; James Wilson, four years and a fine of $500; Oleo Bobo and Joseph Deein, one year each and a fine of $500. Three ringleaders pleaded not guilty and will be tried. PHILIPPINE BATTLE. Three Hundred Moros Killed and Others Wounded. Manila, Nov. 23.—Three hundred Moros are known to have been killed and many others were carried off dead or wounded as a result of five days' fighting in Jolo between the American troops under Gen. Leonard Wood and the insurgents. Maj. H. L. Scott, of the Fourteenth cavalry, and five American privates were wounded. Gen. Wood landed near Siet Lake in Jolo November 12. The Moros were soon located and fighting began immediately and continued until November 17. Maj. Scott was taking Panglima Hassen, the Moro leader, who had been taken a prisoner, to Jolo. While en route Hassen asked to be allowed to see his family. His appeal was granted and he thereupon led Maj. Scott into an ambuscade where the American detachment was fired upon. Maj. Scott was shot in both hands. Hassen succeeded in escaping during this unexpected attack, but is supposed to have been killed the following day. The fighting took place in a country covered with swamps and rocks. The Moros were driven across the country from Siet Lake to the town which Hassen had made his headquarters and where it was reported the Moros were 2,000 strong. The rebel position was attacked in the flank by the American troops who occupied the town and inflicted a loss of 50 killed on the Moros. Hassen with a small party surrendered. The rest of the Moros went into the swamps out of which they were driven on November 16, leaving 76 dead behind them. On November 17 the American forces renewed the attack on the remaining Moros, of whom 40 more were killed. The rebel forces have been literally destroyed by these operations. EXPLOSION IN A MINE. A Number of Men Were Killed at Fere Town, Va. Connellsville, Pa., Nov. 23.—This has been a sad day in the little mining settlement of Ferguson, nestled in the hills a mile and a half above Dunbar. When the books of the company were consulted yesterday to determine the identity of the dead and injured in Saturday night's explosion in the Ferguson mine it was found there were 21 men in the mine at the time of the explosion. Ten bodies were taken from the mine last night and of the ten injured, one died yesterday and one man is missing, whose body is supposed to be still in the mine. All day long the trolley cars have been crowded with curious people going to and from the scene of the disaster. Hundred have stood for hours around the little blacksmith shop which was turned into a morgue Saturday night where the ten bodies of the unfortunate miners were prepared for burial yesterday morning. Coroner Arthur F. Hagan, of Union-town, went to Ferguson early yesterday morning and viewed the bodies as they lay in the blacksmith shop and summoned a jury of inquest. Coroner Hagan says he will not hold the inquest until some of the injured men at the hospital recover. Strange to say only one of the bodies at the morgue was disfigured. All the other bodies were in good condition and scarcely a scratch could be found upon them indicating that death was due to suffocation. TRAIN WRECKED. Two Persons Killed and a Half Dozen Others Inlured. Philadelphia, Nov. 23.—Two persons were killed and a half dozen others were injured late Saturday night in a wreck near Gywnedd, a short distance from this city on the Philadelphia & Reading railway. The dead are C. L. Custer, aged 57 years, a passenger who lived in this city, Harry Roderick, of Doylestown, Pa., fireman of the wrecked train. While the injuries to some of the passengers are serious all of the will recover. The railroad officials believe the accident was due to a deliberate attempt at train wrecking. The train was a local one from Doylestown, and had just passed the station at Gywnedn when the engine jumped the track and went over an embankment, followed by one car. An investigation, the railroad officials say, showed that spikes had been drawn from a plate connecting the tracks and the rails had been spread apart. Commissioner Jones Reports. Washington, Nov. 24.—The annual report of Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones advocates the education of the Indian in the rudiments of the English language and that he be taught that he must work or starve. The commissioner thinks this policy in a generation or more will regenerate the race. There were 257 Indian schools in operation during the year. The enrollment of pupils was 24,357 and employees numbered 2,282. Mr. Jones strongly denounces the "sun" and other "religious" dances of the Indians, and says that reports of eyewitnesses of these performances show they are revolting in the extreme. Typhoid Fever Epidemic. Elmira, N. Y., Nov. 23.—Typhoid fever has followed the diphtheria epidemic at the New York state reformatory. Three cases of typhoid have developed and one death resulted from the disease yesterday. There had not been a single case of typhoid in the institution in two years and Superintendent Robinson is puzzled to know how it originated. Death Came Sudden. Lynn, Mass., Nov. 23.—After preaching a sermon of unusual vigor and eloquence, Rev. James Minto Pullman, D. D., pastor of the First Universalist church in this city and a clergyman widely known in that denomination, died suddenly of apoplexy at his home yesterday. At the conclusion of the morning services he said that a feeling of illness had almost overcome him in the pulpit. When he reached home a messenger was dispatched for a physician who arrived just as Mr. Pullman fell dead. Rev. Mr. Pullman was a brother of the late George M. Pullman, the millionaire parlor car builder. Celebrated "German Day." New York, Nov. 23.—With music and gymnastic drills and dancing at the Grand Central Palace yesterday, the United German societies of New York celebrated "German Day," commemorating the first landing of the Germans in this country. Operated at a Loss. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 23.—Experts who have for some time been investigating the books of the Milwaukee county house of correction for 1902 report that the institution operated at a loss during that period nearly $50,000. THIRTEEN KILLED. Terrific Explosion of Gas in an Arkansas Mine. When the Disaster Occurred 175 Men Were in the Mine—All Escaped Without Injury Except Those Who Were Near to the Scene of the Accident. Fort Smith, Ark., Nov. 25.—Thirteen miners were killed and great damage was done by an accidental explosion of gas Tuesday afternoon in coal mine No. 20 at Bonanza, Ark. 12 miles from this city. When the explosion occurred there were about 175 men in the various shafts. All escaped without injury except the 13 who were employed in entry "K," the scene of the explosion. The force of the explosion was terrific and timbers were torn from the walls of the passages for several hundred yards at the mouth of entry "K." The passages were so completely obstructed that the work of recuing the entombed men was tedious in the extreme and several hours were consumed before the first body was found. It was thought that the gas was accidentally ignited by a miner's lamp. The miners who escaped, with the aid of others summoned from nearby shafts, immediately set about clearing the passages in the hope that some of the 13 entombed men might have survived the explosion. By nightfall six bodies had been recovered and the rescue work was still in progress. It is now considered certain that all of the entombed men have perished. THE STRIKE ENDED. The Chicago City Railway Co. and Its Employees Come to an Agreement—The Company Galns a Victory. Chicago, Nov. 25.—The strike of the employees of the Chicago street railway was settled early this morning at a conference between the mayor, the aldermanic peace committee, President Hamilton and E. R. Bliss, counsel for the company, and the executive board of the local union of the strikers. The basis on which the settlement was reached is a complete victory for the company as far as the original demands of the men are concerned. The only important concession made by the company was an agreement to reinstate all the strikers, including the outside unions who went out in sympathy with the trainmen, with the exception of those who resorted to violence during the trouble. The arbitration of the wage scale is to be according to the wages paid outside of Chicago, and not on the basis of the local street railroads. Chicago, Nov. 25.—Cut wires, plugged cable slots and manholes filled with debris caused the City Railway Co. all manner of trouble yesterday in operating its State street car line. There was comparatively no violence offered to the men handling the cars, which were guarded by the police, but as soon as the cars had passed the crowd would swarm upon the tracks, drive spikes in the cable slot and fill the manholes with stones. The cars, when running between Thirty-ninth and Sixty-first streets, were compelled to take from 15 to 20 minutes to run a square. The police on the cars were ordered by Inspector Hunt that if compelled to use their revolvers they were to fire into the mob with the intention of hitting somebody. There is to be no more shooting over people's heads, the inspector declared. However, Tuesday was about the quietest day of the strike, when the police were around. PERFECT HARMONY. Senator Platt and Gov. Odell Reach an Agreement-A Conference at the White House. Washington, Nov. 25.—Senator Thomas C. Platt and Gov. Odell, of New York, have reached an absolute agreement politically. Both will work in perfect harmony with each other and with President Rooseveit. This, it was announced, is the net result of a conference held at the White House last night. The parties to the conference were the president, Senator Platt, Gov. Odell and Col George D. Dunn, chairman of the republican state committee of New York. It is understood that Odell has been accorded practically everything he contended for. The agreement reached last night is of such a character that no necessity for future conferences will exist. It can be said that Senator Platt will continue as the leader of the New York state republican organization, but Gov. Odell will direct in detail the campaign in New York next year. ENTHUSIASM PREVAILS The City of San Domingo Surrenders to the Insurgents. Cape Haytien, Nov. 25.—Messages received here from Puerto Plata say that the city of San Domingo surrendered to the revolutionists Tuesday morning and that President Wosy Gil and his ministers took refuge on board a German warship. The dispatches further say that great entnusiasm prevails throughout the country. President Wosy Gil on Monday requested the ministers of the United States, Belgium, Haytien and Spain to intervene in behalf of the government. The insurgents refused to accept the terms offered and demanded the immediate capitulation of the city. Ware Will Resign. Washington, Nov. 25.—It can be announced that Eugene F. Ware, commissioner of pensions, will retire from that office by about the middle of November of next year and will return to the practice of law in Kansas. His contemplated action is generally understood among Kansas politicians and has been the subject of several interviews with the president which have been kept secret. The decision to resign and return to private life is the result of his long-felt dissatisfaction with the nature of the duties of his office. Pleaded Gulity of Peonage Savannah, Ga., Nov. 25.—In the United States court yesterday Edward J. McRee, Frank McRee and William McRee, of Valdosta, entered a plea of guilty to 13 indictments charging them with peonage and Judge Speer sentenced them to pay a fine of $1,000 in two of the cases and suspended sentence in the others. The fines will be paid. In sentencing the McRees, Judge Speer said that in discussing the race question in the south "some talk wildly of the shotgun policy, but they do not represent the higher classes of the south."

SISTERS OF CHARITY Use Pe-ru-na for Coughs, Colds, Grip and Catarrh-A Congressman's Letter. S. C. In every country of the civilized world Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do they minister to the spiritual and intellectual needs of the charges committed to their care, but they also minister to their bodily needs. With so many children to take care of and to protect from climate and disease, these wise and prudent Sisters have found Peruna a never failing safeguard. Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters from all over the United States. A recommend recently received from a Catholic institution in Detroit, Mich., reads as follows: Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio: Dear Sir—"The young girl who used the Peruna was suffering from laryngitis and loss of voice. The result of the treatment was most satisfactory. She found great relief, and after further use of the medicine we hope to be able to say she is entirely cured."—Sisters of Charity. The young girl was under the care of the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for catarrh of the throat with good results as the above letter testifies. Send to The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio, for a free book written by Dr. Hartman. PILES "I have suffered with piles for thirty-six years.

The lands are especially adapted to the growing needs of the rice, cotton, sugarcane, and for stock farming.

Milton Reynolds, of Ten-Mile River, N. Y., took his gun the other day and went out after rabbits. A big one got up, and Reynolds chased it until it disappeared in a hole in the ground. The hunter laid his gun down, got a pole, and punched it in the hole to rout the rabbit out. The gun was cocked all ready for Reynolds to pick up and shoot the rabbit the moment it came from the hole. The cotton-tail came out with a sudden rush. Its first bound landed it on the gun. Its fore feet struck the trigger. The gun was discharged, both barrels going off at once. Reynolds was in a stooping position, his dog near him. He was just far enough out of line of the gun to escape the full force of the charges in it, but two fingers were torn from his left hand, his left calf was badly lacerated by shot, and his left cheek filled with them. One of the dog's legs was shot off. The rabbit went on, and is still at large. Where Woman Balks. It cannot be ignored as a sign of the times that a scientifically planned daily newspaper started at the Britits capital for women omits party politics altogether. While the advance of woman in all other paths continues, remarks the Chicago Chronicle, she persists in refusing to be dragged into the commotions and burdens of politics. JANET Mrs. Anderson, Jacksonville, Fla., daughter of Recorder of Deeds, West, who witnessed her signature to the following letter, praises Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—There are but few wives and mothers who have not at times endured agonies and such pain as only women know. 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 many 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. Your medicine has been tried and found true, hence I fully endorse it." — Mrs. R. A. ANDERSON, 225 Washington St., Jacksonville, Fla. — $5000 forfelt if original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced. No other medicine for women has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any substitute.

The never ending cures of Sprains and Bruises made by St. Jacobs Oil Stamp it the perfect remedy HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER IS MADE. A recent seizure of a lot of "cheap" baking powders by the authorities of a neighboring city has exposed the character of the low priced brands of baking powders which many manufacturers are offering throughout the country. The price of the powders first attracted attention to them. Samples were taken and analyzed. The official report of the analysis showed the stuff to be "alum powders," composed chiefly of alum, sulphuric acid and pulverized rock. The powders were declared dangerous to health and several thousand pounds were confiscated and destroyed. Physicians have frequently cautiohed consumers against mixing food with these so-called "cheap" baking powders. They are all found, when analyzed, to contain large percentages of alum and sulphuric acid to which are added various sorts of filling matter sometimes both injurious and nasty. The high class, cream of tartar baking powders, are the most economical and wholesome and should always be selected for use. They will be found cheaper in the end, besides making the food better and more healthful. SEVEN GIRL FARMERS. These Modern Maud Mullers Are as Handy with the Plano as They Are with the Plow. Jonathan C. Wilson, a well-to-do farmer, living east of Rushville, Ind., has seven girls, ranging in age from 6 to 23 years, and all are old enough to work on the farm. It is no uncommon thing in passing the farm, which contains 170 acres, to see these modern Maud Mullers busy in all of the various departments of farm work. Circumstances have had a great deal to do with their doing the farm work. Their parents are old, and the two brothers are away at school most of the time. All of the girls go to school in the winter, except the two older ones, who stay at home and attend to the stock and look after the farming interests. As early in the spring as will permit the ground is broken, and as the "gee" and "haw" of the plowman is heard in the surrounding fields, the voices of these farmer girls are none the less effective. When the soil is ready for the harrow they get out to work early. They put in the corn, plow and tend it, usually getting it plowed over three times before the hay harvest and wheat cutting is begun. Putting up hay is one of the features of the girls' work. "Raking the meadows sweet with hay" is such an uncommon thing for women to undertake that people will stop along the roadside to watch these girls load the wagons and haul it to the stack. Usually one of the younger girls of the family drives the binder in cutting wheat while the others do the shocking. After the summer's work is done, cider is made and stores of all kinds put up for the winter. Wood is cut and hauled to the wood-shed, and repairs of fences and buildings are looked after. There is nothing whatever on the farm that they cannot do. They are cultured and educated. They look at farm work in a sensible way and are glad to help their parents. They are church workers and stand high in the community. The two older girls are skilled musicians and can touch the piano keys as well as they can handle the plow. A Remarkable Woman Kokomo, Ind., Nov. 23—Mrs. Anna M. Willis, of this place, a charming old lady of 74 years, has given for publication a very interesting letter. Mrs. Willis is widely known and highly respected, and the recommendation she gives is well worth the consideration of anyone who may be interested. Mrs. Willis' address is R. R. No. 6, Kokomo. Her letter reads as follows: "I have been troubled with Kidney Trouble for 20 years. It was so bad that it affected my heart and my back. It hurt so that I could not get up when down, and I began to think that I would be past doing anything. I was recommended to get Dodd's Kidney Pills and purchased some at the drug store of Mr. G. E. Meck. After using several boxes, I was completely restored. I feel twenty years younger, and am able to do all the usual work in the house and garden which a person who lives on the farm has to do, although I am 74 years of age."
