Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio. ALLIED PRINTING TRADE SCHOOL COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, JAN. 9, 1904. 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. How many "New Year" resolutions have you broken already? it makes us feel good to read of King Menilik. How do you like it? Did you read carefully our article on Phillis Wheatley in The Gazette of last week? It was a GEM. By this time our readers know who Rev. D. LeRoy Ferguson, of Little Rock, Ark., is. He is certainly one of our coming young men—an Ohio boy, tool. In a letter from him, received the first of the week, he expresses the warmest appreciation of The Gazette's treatment of him, and the encouragement it gives to all the really deserving ones of the race. INVITING TILLMAN NORTH. Our good friend, Rev. Moran, pastor of St. Patrick's Catholic church, this city, who himself is friendly to the race and entertains an earnest desire for the elevation and well-being of our people, acting in concert with a committee of gentlemen deemed it the proper thing to invite the notorious Ben Tillman to our city to deliver a lecture. The impression obtained that the man Tillman was a drawing card and that the name itself was sufficient to warrant a packed house. We certainly appreciate the deep interest felt by our friend for the race and we congratulate ourselves for the frankness and candor with which he has expressed himself as the sincere advocate of our cause. But we are inclined to doubt the wisdom of the action on the part of any one inviting a bad man, and an incorrigible Negro-hater to fill any place of trust and confidence that he may vent the bitterness and spleen of his soul against those whom he would degrade and enslave. We rather deplore the act as an almost unpardonable blunder that good men should show quarters to the devil and his kind. Vallandigham was sent across the lines in time of the Civil war because he defied the general government and favored the dismemberment of our Federal Union. Arnold was a traitor and was burnt in effigy because he betrayed the cause of the struggling patriots, who had pledged their sacred honor and lives to secure liberty and independence to the colonists. Has Tillman shown himself a less enemy to the cause of free government than Vallandigham? Is he today less a traitor than Benedict Arnold, when in truth he has assailed the constitution upon which our government is founded and has openly declared himself a rebel against executive authority, a rebel against the free patronage of American justice and against the equality of law to all the people alike? This is the man who is asked to come up into the free north and insult, abuse, and mock the people in their endeavor to maintain a free and equal government. Yes, this is the man whom we would now invite to lecture the people? Men generally invite those of their own faith and following to enlighten the public and to induce a healthy, growing sentiment. But Tillman propogates a treasonable doctrine, such as Americans cannot indorse and dare not tolerate, so long as they ally themselves to the principles maintained and ratified in the constitution and set forth in the declaration of independence. The time has come that Americans should spurn and reject the spirit and teachings of Tillmanism and consign to utter oblivion the name which has become the synonym of shame and disgrace throughout our land. The accident of a high honored trust, yet he remains today a servant unworthy the trust confided in him, merits no claim of special honors from the people and deserves not the recognition so lavishly bestowed when he is invited to come north and address learned assemblies, assemblies, too, whose devotion to country, to prince and honor has never been questioned. WHAT CONSTITUTES GOOD BREEDING? The above is a question which concerns every individual who entertains a proper care for the well-being and destiny of his country. Though it be a matter of little concern to the man of narrow and selfish views, yet it is an important factor in determining the future life of individuals and nations. As are individuals and communities so is the nation. Neither individuals, communities nor nations can hope for a healthy and substantial growth without a true and proper guidance in their affairs in human life. Whatever concerns the individual, must in a measure concern the community. We are mutually related and mutually depend upon each other and whatever amenities and courtesies are due any part are due the whole. Governments are so constructed in their composite nature, that especially under our republican system, a vote is a vote, and counts as much as any other man's vote. This is a substantial reason that each and every individual is bound by a special obligation to respect the rights and claims of each citizen alike. But if the vote of the one did not obligate a just and equitable regard for the rights of his neighbor and fellow citizen, there is nevertheless an obligation binding upon the GENTLEMAN and the MAN OF GOOD BREEDING to accord a ready, a generous and respectful regard to the person of whatever race whether bleached by the snows of Russia or blackened by the sun of Africa. There is no possible circumstance to be offered that may plead the mitigation of a willing regard on the part of a well bred gentleman toward his fellow man. A well bred man considers first the claims of others and of society upon himself. His own duty becomes a primary obligation and thus upon the golden rule, aloft upon the throne of God, he finds his law of right. The individual who is governed by any other line of conduct is a mere pretender, a parasite, an imposter. If the humanity of his nature is not sufficiently developed to enable him to deal justly, generously, and magnanimously with his brother man, nay, if he possesses not the elements of noble manhood that impel him to bestow upon that brother a spontaneous and polite treatment, that man is not a gentleman. The mere fact that a man will in selfish dealing show politeness to some and refrain from being so to others is prima facie evidence that he is not well bred. The sun bestows its warmth upon all mankind. A gentleman will be equally impartial in showing kindness and courtesy to his fellows. God has implanted in the soul of man a consciousness of right-thinking and right-acting, and regardless of all environments a man may be a gentleman, if he will. Whether in the true sense, men are born gentlemen or trained in the school of refinement and taste, it is as possible for them to be just and courtly as it is for them to breathe. Good birth and happy influences are certainly helpful factors of good breeding, but some of the greatest men of earth who were born in squalor and want, have risen above their surroundings and have shown themselves gentlemen in character. We speak of the gentleman in the broader and truer sense and not in the light as is termed by the fashionable world. Good breeding cannot be based upon the false and discriminating ideas of wealth and class. It confines itself to neither race nor condition. It springs from the root of the soul and out of the depth of a loving kindness, dispenses its blessings upon the humanity of the rich and the poor the world over. It is an instinctive, inborn possession, which all men may acquire and practice. It is a quality of mind which adorns the individual and makes him a prince among men, but it is only when that quality has been exemplified in the practice of the Golden Rule and fraternal fellowship. Polite and just dealing with all men irrespective of race or nationality and with no show of discrimination on account of color, is the highest and best type of the perfect gentleman. OHIO AT THE BIG FAIR. Buckeye State's Fine Headquarter at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Among the buildings in the Plateau of States at the World's Fair, the ivory-white, gold-crested structure which marks the home of Ohio is rapidly nearing completion. The intramural railway, circling the two square miles of exposition grounds passes the door of the Ohio building. Spacious verandas at each end of the structure invite visitors to rest. The $100,000 appropriation by the Buckeye state will portray her agricultural development in exhibits in the 23-acre Palace of Agriculture, as well as her remarkable growth in manufacturing to be shown in the two buildings devoted to manufacturers, which cover twenty-eight acres, October 5th will be Ohio Day. Ohioans have special advantages for reaching the World's Fair, which opens at St. Louis April 30th, 1904. Fifty-four of the eighty-eight counties of the Buckeye state are traversed by the Pennsylvania Lines, placing many cities and towns within a few hours of the greatest exposition of the age. "Look at the Map!" A striking feature of the preparations for the exposition is the extension of St. Louis train service on the Pennsylvania System. A recent addition is the World's Fair Express, which runs from Columbus to St. Louis in a night, leaving Columbus Union station at 6:40 p. m., reaching St. Louis at 7:46 a. m., the coaches and sleeping car going through as a solid train.

Thirty-seven Persons Injured - Accident Said to Have Been Caused by Negligence of the Crew of Passenger Train-Crashed Into a Freight Train. Topeka, Kan., Jan. 7—Seventeen persons were killed and 37 injured in a Rock Island passenger wreck at Willard Wednesday morning. Most of the injured are in hospitals in Topeka. The doctors announce that all the injured will recover with the exception of Miss M. A. Hill, of Greensburg, Kan. The dead: Mrs. Henry K. Kaiger, Durham, Kan. William Wells, Jacksonville, Ill. William J. Wells, Jacksonville, Ill. W. S. Martin, residence unknown. Fay Fuller, Blockton, Ia. E. Rankin, DeKalb, Mo. E. E. Meyers, Buffalo, N. Y. Woman, aged 30 years, very stout; unidentified. Woman unidentified. Woman, 40 years of age, unidentified. Boy, 8 years old, unidentified. Girl, 17 years of age, unidentified. Woman, 35 years of age with ticket to Tyrone, Okla. James Griffin, Claremont, Mo. Man, aged 55 years, DeKalb, Mo.; unidentified. Raymond Martin, Chillicothe, Mo. Forest, died on train. It is thought that carelessness of trainmen caused the wreck. Instructed to meet a special freight train at Willard, the engineer and conductor of the ill-fated passenger train observing that a freight train stood on the freight track at Willard, rushed through, thinking that the cars they had seen were the ones which they had been instructed to pass. Upon passing Willard Engineer Benjamin threw open the throttle, and under the impetus of full steam the passenger train leaped into the darkness and crashed along at a rate which the passengers declare to have been fully 65 miles an hour. Not a note of warning of the impending danger made itself known to the sufferers. General Superintendent Gruber, of the Rock Island, makes this statement: "The engineer of the passenger train had orders to wait at Willard for the special stock train. He passed on, mistaking a freight train on the siding at that station for the stock train. This caused the wreck. Nobody else is to blame so far as our information goes." A formal inquest was held at the wreck by Coroner Dooley, of Wabaunsee county. GOV. ODELL'S MESSAGE. He Pleads for the Protection of Em- plorers as Well as Washington players as well as workingmen. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 7.—The legislature assembled yesterday in annual session. Fred Nixon, of Chautauqua county, was re-elected speaker of the assembly by the republican majority. Gov. Odell sent in his annual message. The governor cautioned the legislature regarding proposed enactment of new statutes affecting labor. The employers, he says, should be protected as well as the employes. The elimination of those conditions which produce strikes and lockouts is desirable, but it is as much the duty of the state to protect individuals in the complete enjoyment of their rights as it is to protect aggregations of individuals combined for specific purposes. Stringent laws which will protect the employer against blackmailing designs are as important as the protection of the workingman in his rights. Touching the improvements for which the expenditure of $101,000,000 was authorized at the last election, the governor says he hopes to take the whole project out of political surroundings. The total cost of the canal work is computed at $155,540,000, to be provided under the law by direct taxation. The governor proposes a plan whereby $41,790,000 interest would be saved by the issue of state bonds to the counties in return for their levies for the enterprise. A Big Deal in Oil Property. Pittsburg, Jan. 7.—One of the largest oil deals consummated for a number of years in Pittsburg was closed Wednesday, when the Pure Oil Producing Co., of Pittsburg, purchased the holdings of D. A. Cameron & Sons, of Marietta, O., in Washington county, Ohio, for a sum in the neighborhood of $1,250,000. It is probable that the Pure Oil Co. will at once arrange for the extension of its seaboard pipe line to the property, at a cost of about $250,000. Aggressive drilling will also be started. The property transferred is about seven miles long and about three miles wide. It embraces about 5,000 acres of land on which more than 200 oil wells are now producing, in addition to six or eight gas wells. Miners are Indignant. Shamokin, Pa., Jan. 7.—Miners are indignant in this region on account of Umpire Carroll D. Wright's declaration against the short hour Saturday. President Fahey, of the Ninth United Mine Workers' district and member of the conciliation board, said last night he was sorely disappointed. A Bold Crime. Chicago, Jan. 7.—With persons busy in offices all about him, David Freedman, a jeweler with offices on the sixteenth story of the Masonic Temple building, was held up by two men yesterday and robbed of $4,300 in currency, diamonds and watches. A dagger was pointed at Freedman's heart and he was threatened with death and forced to go down on his knees and open his safe. The men forced their victim to open his safe as well as the showcase containing the jewelry. He was then locked in a small closet used as a lavatory. No one saw the marauders. Strikers are Exleted. Somerset, Pa., Jan. 7.—Sheriff Coleman went to Boswell, the scene of the Merchants' Coal Co.'s operations, yesterday with writs for the eviction of 39 families of strikers. Six of the families had vacated when he reached the houses. At all but a few of the other houses the occupants agreed to vacate without trouble. The household goods of three families who resisted the sheriff's authority were deposited in the highway. Some of the strikers agreed to return to work. They will be permitted to do so if they renounce the union. Decrease in Earnings of United States Steel Trust During 1903 as Compared with the Previous Year was Nearly $25,000,000. New York, Jan. 6.—The dividend on United States Steel common was passed at the quarterly meeting of the directors Tuesday, but the regular $1\frac{1}{4}$ per cent. was declared on the preferred stock. This was practically what Wall street expected. At the previous quarterly meeting the common dividend was cut from a 4 to a 2 per cent, basis. The statement of earnings for 1903 shows a great shrinkage in the business of the corporation. Net earnings, (December estimated) aggregate $108,979,012, as against $133,308,763 in 1902 and $105,947,000 in the first nine months of the corporations' history in 1901. Business for the 12 months of 1903 was only about $3,000,000 in excess of that for the first nine months of the corporation's existence. For the last quarter of 1903 net earnings, (December estimated at $3,100,000) were $14,845,042, as against $31,485,759 for the same quarter of 1902, and $29,760,912 for the correspondent quarter of 1901. Thus earnings for the last quarter were decidedly less than half those in 1902. It is probable when complete returns are in for December, 1903, that the last quarter may show slightly more than 50 per cent of earnings for the same period of 1901. The net balance, after appropriations for sinking fund bonds of subsidiary companies, depreciation, improvements and construction and interest on the regular bonds as well as sinking funds have been deducted is $60,824,380, as against $90,306,524 in 1902. The undivided profits or surplus for 1903 aggregate $11,962,645, which is less by $22,291,012 than in the previous year. This is partly accounted for, however, by the charging off for depreciation in inventory valuations and for adjustments of sundry accounts of $5,750,000, as against nothing in 1902. On December 31 last the company's unfilled orders aggregated 3,215,123 tons, as against 5,347,253 on the same day of 1902. PRINCE CUPID ARRESTED. Hawaiian Delegate to Congress Is Ar- rested for Disorderly Conduct. Washington, Jan. 6.—Jonah K. Kalaniaole (Prince Cupid) the Hawaiian delegate in congress, appeared in police court yesterday on the charge of disorderly conduct, for which he was arrested Monday night, and his case was continued until Thursday. He had an altercation with a man named Charles Clark over a personal matter and when the police interfered stated that he stood on his rights as a member of congress and was immune from arrest. He and Clark were taken into custody and when advised at the police station to leave collateral or send for his friends he declined on the ground that he was not subject to arrest. He spent the night in a cell and was taken in the "Black Maria" to court, where he was given the usual prison fare of coffee and sandwiches. Efforts were again made to have him send for friends to arrange the matter, but he insisted on a trial and the case was continued. ACCUSED OF BIGAMY. A Former Officer in the Army Is Said to Have Too Many Wives. Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 6.—Samuel C. Hazzard, alias Samuel Hargrave, a former officer in the United States army, has been arrested in this city for alleged bigamy. Coupled with the name of Hazzard, or Hargrave, as he is known in local insurance circles, is that of Dr. Linda Burfield and Viva Hazzard, nee Fitchpatrick, daughter of Senator Fitchpatrick, of Nevada, Ia. The complainant in the case is Viva Hazzard, who says she is wife No. 2. Hazzard does not deny living with Viva Fitchpatrick Hazzard in this city. He does claim, however, that he and Dr. Burfield, of this city, are legally and properly married and that she is today his only wife, according to law. Mr. Hazzard, or Hargrave, says that ten years ago he had a wife in New York City, but that he was legally and properly divorced from her. Harriman to be President. Omaha, Neb., Jan. 6.—It was semi-officially stated yesterday that E. H. Harriman will become president of the Union Pacific Railroad Co. to succeed Horace G. Burt, whose resignation was recently announced. A general manager will be named who will be the active head of the affairs of the road, with headquarters in Omaha. The road will be operated by a method similar to that in vogue on the Southern Pacific road. Mr. Harriman's incumbency, it is stated, will be one year, Burglars in a Postoffice. Pittsburg, Jan. 6.—Burglaries dynamited the safe of the Ambridge, Pa., postoffice early Tuesday and got away with $300 in cash and stamps. It is believed that it was the intention to also rob the Ambridge Savings and Trust Co., which adjoins the postoffice, but the explosion attracted the attention of the bank watchman, who opened fire on the burglar. Several shots were exchanged and it is thought one of the thieves was wounded, but all escaped. Will Support Strikers. Indianapolis, Jan. 6. At yesterday's conference between the national executive board of the United Mine Workers and President John Mitchell, Vice President Leads and Secretary Wilson, it was decided that the striking miners of district No.15, known as the Colorado district, and the miners of West Virginia who are striking for an increase in pay, should be supported by the national organization. There are 10,000 miners affected by this decision in the Colorado district, and about 1,000 in the West Virginia district. Another Postoffice Investigation. Hannibal, Mo., Jan. 6.—Investigation of alleged corruption in transactions in the selection and sale of postoffice sites in Columbia, Moberly, Kirksville, Louisiana, Joplin and Nevada was begun by the federal grand jury here Tuesday in special session. The investigation is being conducted by Judge Elmer B. Adams, of the United States district court at St. Louis. Evidence will be presented to the grand jury, it is said, to show that large sums of money were paid to control the location of postoffice sites. TAKEN FROM LIFE: BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT.

Cards are out announcing that Dr. and Mrs. Ellery Channing Cox, nee Miss Bundy of this city, are at home at No. 234 Chapel street, Cincinnati. J. S. Thomas of Sterling avenue, is getting better slowly. His wife has just recovered from pneumonia. Charles L. Berry of Youngstown, paid The Gazette a visit on Monday. He was in the city several days. Mr. Ernest O. Orsburn, of this city, has resigned his position as manager of school business, and teacher of music, etc., at St. Paul's Normal and Industrial school, Lawrenceville, Va., and is expected to return to the city today.

All members are urged to be present as business of importance must be transacted. The Detroit, Mich., Informer, of the 26th ult., contained a portrait under which was the following. "G. W. Johnson, one of the representative men of the race," and this sketch: "The subject of this sketch was formerly a Michigan boy. His home was in Ann Arbor, where his parents now live. He graduated from the local schools and at an early age embarked in business for himself and profiting by his experience along those lines is now the proprietor of a large manufacturing establishment in Cleveland, Ohio, his present home. He is one of the few men of the race who have amassed a comfortable fortune before reaching middle life. Mr. Johnson is still a young man and is a familiar object on Euclid avenue, Cleveland, in his automobile. He is a splendid example of what the young men of the race can do along commercial and business lines." Madam Emma French sang, "Fear ye Not, O Israel," by Dudley Buck, Sunday evening, at Mt. Zion church, at the New Year's concert given by the older Sunday school members. Several other solos, a reading, and an address made up the program, which was thoroughly appreciated because of its excellence. Madam French's solo was indeed a treat. Captain Deaton J. Brooks of the adjutant general's office, Columbus, one of the most popular young Afro-Americans in the state, intelligent and of good moral standing as well as unquestionably proficient, a candidate for reappointment to his present clerkship, and who ought to be reappointed, was in the city a few hours last Saturday. Miss "Mickie" Cook of the Baltimore, Md., colored high school, who was called to Detroit by the serious illness of her sister, Mrs. Oliver T. Jackson, who is better, passed through the city en route home last Saturday. Miss Leota F. Henson of Ravenna, en route home from a week's visit in Toledo, passed through the city last Saturday. She reported her uncle, Mr. F. J. Loudin, as better. He has been very ill for many months with nervousness and rheumatism. Rev. Simmons, P. E., held his fourth quarterly meting at Cory chapel, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 9. 1904. Sunday. The church is rejoicing over the fact that the mortgage of $1,500 which has hung over it the past 29 years, has at last been paid, largely as a result of energetic efforts of the new pastor, Rev. Mr. Dickerson. The mortgage burning will be Sunday week. Impressive services all that day. Rev. C. B. Mitchell of the First Methodist church, will preach at the 3 o'clock service and Rev. Cory, founder of the church, at the evening service. We earnestly hope the editor of The Gazette will be present. Mrs. Baldwin was buried from the church last Wednesday. She only recently moved here from Wheeling. Rev, and Mrs. E. Thomas Demby, the former the new pastor of St. Peter's rectory, Key West, Fla., have just arrived there from Cairo, Ill., where he had charge of St. Michael's rectory for several years, going there from Kansas City. Our people of Key West gave them a royal welcome. Mrs. Demby was formerly one of our leading young ladies-Miss Nettie M. Ricks, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Ricks, of No. 86 Cory avenue. St. Peters is a large and fine charge. "Jersey" Gordon, the well and favorably known tonsorial artist, at the risk of his life, and in spite of the fact that he has been quite lame ever since a serious illness of some months ago, stopped a runaway recently and saved the life of a small child which was alone in the wagon. Mr. Gordon's natural modesty prevented an earlier announcement of the facts. The Gazette but recently getting knowledge of his heroic acts indirectly. He is certainly entitled to a full measure of praise. "Jersey" "slipped away" before the child's father, who was following the runaway, could learn his name. Just as we predicted a few weeks ago, the little "Black Tammany" has turned down our band and engaged one at Columbus, for its demonstration in the inaugural parade. So the "Grafters" and the members of the East End Republican club, both of whom have had the same miserable experience with the Myers-Eubanks-Clifford-Fulton-Lee crowd, can sympathize with the band boys. It was certainly a dirty "turn-down." They will all please remember The Gazette's predictions of last fall, and make a note of them for future use. With all of the "Tammany's" blow and bluster with Henry Eubanks as a mouth-piece, promising the "faithful" thirteen places at Columbus, then six and finally two, they have dwindled down to one or two spittoon-cleaning jobs down there, just as we predicted. Up to The Gazette's going to press these two had not been secured. Sam Moore and J. Brock, the "Tammany's" endorsed candidates for the places, were still "out in the cold," looking for them with the prospect of only one "landing" or being places. Some of these days some of the people who do not now appreciate The Gazette's many statements of facts, will see the wisdom of doing so. Last Sunday evening about 7:30, as Mr. Walter B. Wright of Eliot street, private secretary to the president of the Nickel Plate R. R., with a little daughter was proceeding homeward in a Detroit street car, two young "smartalecks" and their girls, all white, who sat opposite them, made themselves objects of contempt to all the other passengers in the car by their silly actions and insulting remarks directed at Mr. Wright and his daughter, some of which may and may not have been noticed and heard by the objects of attack. When Mr. Wright and his daughter left the car, a white-haired old gentleman (white) in a voice distinctly heard by all the passengers, and there were many, addressed one of the aforementioned "alecks," saying: "Do you know who that colored gentleman is?" The answer was: "No, sir!" The old gentleman then said: "He is Mr. Wright, private secretary to the president of one of the biggest railroads in the country, which has general offices on Euclid avenue of this city, a gentleman who receives as much salary for every working day of his life as you earn in a month; a gentleman who would not dream of insulting anyone at any time in any locality, as you people have him and his child; you ought to be ashamed of yourselves, and if you are not, then all the rest of us in this car are heartily ashamed for you; such coarseness, ill-breeding and disgraceful conduct as you people have given exhibition to, is Inexcusable and an insult to us all." Mr. William S. Moore (white), of the "Artisan," for many years a friend of the editor of The Gazette, who was one of the passengers, tells us that the old white-haired gentleman said much more of a like nature, with the fullest approval of himself and other passengers on the car. He also said that his and others' indignation over the shameful and disgraceful treatment accorded Mr. Wright and his daughter by the four rools, was so great that had not the aged gentleman referred to, taken the initiative, some one of them would surely have done so. This is really encouraging. Our people of this community should not be slow in writing at once to Gov. Myron T. Herrick and Adjutant General Critchfield, at Columbus, protesting vigorously against the appointment of John Fulton as a clerk in the latter's office to represent them (our people). It is too late after a thing of that kind is done, to find fault and complain. The time to ACT is NOW—before the appointment is made. All letters should reach the governor and adjutant general by Monday next, without fail. Fulton is being supported for the place by the little "Black Tammany." The present Afro-American clerk in that office is Captain Deaton J. Brooks, of Columbus, a veteran of the Spanish-American war, a deserving young man of ability, sterling integrity, good moral character, and captain of the Columbus company, Ninth Batalion, O. N. G., the only support of a widowed mother and younger sisters, whom he has been educating. Compare him and John Fulton; think of your home and fireside, the boys and girls, your young men and young women who are looking to the future which our truly representative men should make clear for them, and do your duty to them, yourselves and the race as The Gazette urges you to do. ACT! Mr. Harvey Armstrong entertained Messrs. Luther Hall, Thos. O Queen, Arthur Morton, George Kimbro, Richard Dickerson, at a seven-course dinner on Sunday, 3 p. m., at L. G. Adkins' restaurant, No. 403 Central avenue. Wine was served with each course. Mr. Calendar entertained the same number of friends at the same place at 6 o'clock dinner, Sunday. Bishop B. W. Arnett will be in the city, Wednesday, to attend the executive board meeting of the Woman's Mite Missionary society. He will speak at the Second A. M. E. church on Hudson street, East End, in the evening. The Ministers' and Deacons' Institute of Northern Ohio, was held in Antioch church on the 29th ult. There were present delegates from Akron, Wadsworth, Lorain, Oberlin, and Fostoria. The next one will be held at Lorain in April. The usual services were held last Sabbath, Rev. Bailey, pastor, preached a very good sermon in the morning. In the evening, Rev. Prescott of Cedar avenue, preached to a crowded house. The annual business and watch meeting was held on the 31st, and was well attended. This is the week of prayer. The Sunday school held its annual consecration services on last Sabbath. The church and Sunday school are prepared for a progressive campaign this year. Every effort will be made toward a new place of worship by the coming spring. On his responsibility, H. T. Eubanks is working hard to land William H. Patterson, a well-known old colored man of Cleveland, in one of the porter positions.—Columbus correspondent The Press. It's a shame to fool a man of Mr. Patterson's age. Quite a number of young people attended the party given in honor of Miss Isabell Embry, 62 Willson place, New Year's evening, it being her 20th birthday. Many beautiful presents were received. The out-of-town guests were Miss Bessie Simpson of Salem and Miss Harriet Lancaster of Akron, who spent New Year's in the city. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Blue entertained at 5 o'clock dinner New Year's. at 5 o'clock dinner New Year's. Miss Elsie Mountain entertained at dinner, Sunday, in honor of her Akon guests for the day, Messrs. Vincent and Garfield Dandridge, Miss Mae V. Dandridge, Miss Harriet Lancaster, James Evans, Miss Madge Linder, and Alfred Fullum. About fifteen were present. The following officers of Edwin Cowles Lodge, No. 17, K. of P., were installed Monday evening by Deputy G. C., B. M. Shook: C. P. Lancaster, C. C.; James Biram, D. V. C.; J. W. Bolden, prelate; P. J. Stewart, M. of W.; C. W. Henderson, M. of F.; T. H. King, M. of E.; Geo. W. Buchannan, K. of R. S.; J. Pettiford, M. of A. The K. of P. joint memorial services have been postponed until the 17th. The Alta House basketball team again met defeat in Ravenna New Year's night, the score being 25 to 5 in favor of the Byers (white) team. It is rumored that they were so very disheartened at their failure to win that they did not attend the dance given in the evening as anticipated. Little Gladys, the four-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Bernard, is very ill with typhoid-pneumonia. Another daughter, Glara, who is attending school at Wilberforce University, has returned after spending the holidays with her parents. The executive board of the North Ohio conference, Woman's Mite Missionary society, will meet here Wednesday, the 13th. An all day business session will be held at Mrs. W. J. Johnson's, Cedar avenue. A public meeting at the Second A. M. E. church will be held in the evening. An excellent program will be rendered. The Columbus correspondent to the Press of Wednesday in an effort to create a sensation, uncovered an old obsolete "black law" and announced that Henry Eubanks had prepared a resolution providing that the word "white" be dropped from section 1 of article 5 of the constitution. How silly! That correspondent was very evidently "shy on news." Branch No. 2 of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, Cleveland, has been incorporated at Columbus by W. O. Bowles, Jessie B. Hughes, M. A. Bowles, Jos. Burgess and Andrew Archer. Bowles was formerly connected with the A. M. E. and Congregational churches. Prof. W. S. Scarborough, vice-president of Wilberforce University, teacher of languages and author of a fine Greek text book, was in the city last week Friday and Saturday, a guest of the Forest City House, coming here from Columbus. He returned to Wilberforce. Next year the professor will take a second trip abroad with his talented wife. He is a member of the American Philological and Archaeological associations or societies. He paid The Gazette several pleasant visits. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith, Mr. and Mrs. John Cousins and her brother, Wm. Boyd, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Daw and Mrs. Catherine Johnson, were entertained at a delicious Christmas dinner by Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Boyd of Edwards avenue. Mrs. Boyd dined the brides, Mrs. Joseph Carroll of Columbus, and Mrs. E. A. Dale, of Steubenville, at DeKlyn's Saturday, and had them as her guests at the Opera in the evening. Mrs. James Conner of Toledo and Detroit, who has been in the city several weeks, visited a married sister in Lorain, the first of the week. For Rent—Rooms.—Mrs W. R.

Miss Erline Sinclair, a Cass town- ship, Ind., school teacher was recent- ly foreed by her pupils to stand in water up to her shoulders and may |die as the result. dt has been a custom for years for the teacher at the school to treat the pupils just before the holidays, and /Miss Sinclair was asked if she in- jtended to do so. She replied in the laftirmative, and the pupils then asked what she intended to give them, but she refused to say. The teacher then was surrounded by ten or a dozen of the larger girls, thrown to the floor and bound jhand and foot. She was then car- ‘tied to a pond a short distance away, and a hole cut im the ice, through which she was let into the water, with a hog trough tied to her feet. The water came up to her knees, and \when she still refused ‘o say how she would treat the school another hole was cut near the middle of the pond, and she was placed in this, the water coming up to her shoulders. Here the pupils left her aud returned ito the school house. Miss Sinclair remained in the icy water for two hours before she was found by a couple of farmers. She Iwas numb from the cold and only partially conscious, The torturers of the teachers were girls raging in lage from 14 to 17 years. AIRSHIP DECLARED A WONDER. Former Sallor Claims to Have Per- fected Fiying Machine that Wit Saka Prine at Gt. Rovian. In a barn-like structure in the west- lert part of St. Louis is housed an air- ship, the inventor of H. E. Honey- wall, a former sailor under Dewey, which the aeronaut is confident will carry off the $100,000 prize offered by the world’s fair management. By an electrical device the walls of the building can be removed instantly. An armed guard keeps watch, over the structure and its contents. The inventor says that in many re- spects his airship resembles a fish. It has a spoon-bill, the top is oval, and there are two propellers at the back that look not unlike a-tail. The bottom is flat. The balloon is made of silk, and is about 100 feet long and 20 wide. It tapers toward the front and buiges at the back. Three hundred and seventy feet of bicycle tubing form the framework and the lower platform. From the bottom of the platform to the top of the bal- loon is 18 feet. The’ bag holds 2,000 feet of hydrogen'gas, which Mr. Hon- eywall says is capable of lifting more than the weight of the ship, machin- ery and nayagator. 3 A company has been organized with a capital of .$10,000 to get the ship ready for the world’s fair contest. b> pi ads Mancar.

Russians Want a Neutral Zone Established in Korea. Both Countries Preparing to Rush ‘Troops to Territory in Dispute— Japan’s Army Much the Large est—Kussia lis Willing to Make Concessions. Cologne, Jan. 6.—According to ad- vices received by the Cologne Gazette from St. Petersburg the terms of the Russian reply to Japan were decided upon at a council on Sunday, pre- sided over by the czar and attended by the Grand Dukes Vladimir and Alexis, the foreign, war and marine ministers and M. Witte, president of the council of ministers. ‘This corres- pondent, like others, understands that the reply renders a peaceful is- sue possible. St. Petersburg, Jan. 6.—The foreign office informed the press yesterday that instructions had been sent to Viceroy Alexieff, on which the reply was based. The latter was drawn up | in the most conciliatory spirit. Some of the Japanese proposals were ac- cepted, while others were met by counter proposals. A semi-official dispatch to a news agency from Vladivostock and _ pri- vate information from Mukden state that owing to disturbances between the Koreans and the Japanese in Korea, the Russian second rifle regi- ment, at its full strength has been sent to Korea in order to protect Russian interests there. Tokio, Jan. 6—An extra edition of the Official Gazette has been issued containing army and navy orders pro- hibiting the publication of any re- ports of the movements of troops or war vessels from this time on. Others wise, the Japanese authorities are not interfering with press messages. Japan is hastening final prepara- tions for a far more extensive dis- patch of troops to Korea than at first contemplated. The government has decided to send an army of 35,000 men, organized as two divisions, to Korea. This is more than double the strength of the expedition first con- templated and requires a large fleet of transports and extensive arrange- ments, which are proceeding rapidly towards completion. The destination of this army is expected to be south- ern Korea, particularly Fusan and | Masampho. Paris, Jan. 6.—It developed yester- ‘day that the greatest difference be- tween Japan and Russia arises from the proposal made by Tussia that a neutral zone shall be established ex- tending from Hing-Yang in Korea in the south to the Russian frontier on the north. The Russian government has ex- pressed a willingnes to recognize the preponderating influence of Japan in the remainder of Korea and the two powers are agreed respecting the principle of the integrity of China and of Korea. Japan, however, saw no reason why the proposed neutral zone should be established, holding that the entire peninsula should be subject to her preponderating influence. The attitude of Russia is believed to be due to the fact that if Japan controls Korea she will thereby be able to more easily menace Port Ar- thur as well as Vladivostock. The diplomat who gave the foregoing in- formation expressed himself as con- fident that Russia in her reply to Japan will give way on this vital ain’. CHARGED WITH FRAUD. ‘Two Well! Known Mining Stock Bro- here are Arrested. Chicago, Jan. 6.—Frank Jager and John Jager, well known throughout the United States as mining stock brokers and promoters, were arrest- ed Tuesday on the complaint of Post- office Inspector William M. Ketcham, en the charge of using the mails in a scheme to defraud. ‘The arrests were ordered by the government officials after an inquiry had been made into the business methods of the Model Gold Mining Co. and the Jager Oil Co., of whicn concerns Frank Jager, is president and. treasurer, and John Jager secre- tary. Upwards of $800,000 is involved in the case and the federal authori- ties declare that sensational reveia- tions will be made when the prison- ers are arraigned in court. The brothers were taken before United States Commissioner Foote, where their bonds were fixed at $3,- 000 each and they were released on bail. At the request of Frank Jager, who said he intended leaving Chicago # few hours later with a party of stockholders to attend the annual meeting of the company at Prescott, Ariz., Commissioner Foote continued the hearing of the cases. to Janu- ary 15. According to the federal officers the following mines and oil wells are included in the list of those fradu- lently misrepresented in advertising matter sent through the mails: MeCabe Model, Wolftone, American Gold and Copper, Gold Bug, North Model, Alta, McKinley, Helen No, 2, Copper Queen, Liberty Bell, Bruce, Monopolis, Bachelor, Tom Reed, Cop- per Crown, Belmont, Jager Oil Co, Model Oil Co., Smokeless Briquette Co., Standard Briquette Co.

Chicago, Jan. 6—On the ground that the indictment of John H. Dal- ton, politician and saloonkeeper, was insufficient, his sentence of twe years in the penitentiary on the charge of using the mails to defraud, was yesterday reversed and the case remanded by the United States cir- cuit court of appeals. Dalton was convicted in connection with the so- called Independent _ advertising agency. It was charged he had swin- dled nearly 7,000 newspapers through- out the country, his profits aggregat- ing a large sum. Killed a Factory Foreman. San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. 6.—Sim- Plico Diaz, the foreman of a large cigar factory’at Aguas Buenas, was murdered Monglay nigut in the pres- ence of a large crowd. The murderer was Basilio Forestier, a labor leader, who was angered at his inability to foment a strike of cigarmakers. Diaz was shot in the heart and brain and died instantly. Forestier glories in his crime and says it was his duty to kill Diaz and says that there will be three more killings in a few days. Anarchistie literature was found in possession of the murderer. CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE, Iroquois Theatre, Chicago, was Over= crowded and Eleyen of lis Exits were Locked and Bolted when the Fire Occurred. Chicago, Jan. 6.—The special com- mittee composed of members of the city council appointed to investigate the conditions of the local theatres and to report upon what alterations are necessary to make them conform to the building ordinances, held its first meeting Tuesday. Late Tuesday afternoon the attor- neys of the fire department caused the arrest of four employes of the Fuller Construction Co., David Jones, a masonry foreman, and Angus Me- Kay, Otto Rausch and John Kingston, iron workers, Attorneys for the Fuller company took Jones, who had been sought by the police for several days, to the fire department. It has been charged that Jones and his men broke the skylights on the theatre after the fire in order to destroy possible evi- dence. It developed after the arrest of Jones and his men that the sky- lights were blocked by scantlings and tied with wire to prevent their open- ing and that neither of them had been opened since the theatre was built. Jones was asked why he went to the roof of the theatre and replied that he had been told that the north wall had been cracked in the fire and went to see if it was true. “Why did you take three iron work- ers with you to inspect a brick wall?” asked Attorney Fulkerson. Jones was confused, but finally an- swered that the men went with him through curiosity. He admitted that the iron workers helped him open the skylights and worked about the roof for half an hour, When asked how he was going to explain to the company that employ- ed him why he had taken three of their employes and kept them with him for practically an hour inorder to satisfy his curiosity, Jones could make no satisfactory reply. Joseph Dougkerty, who had charge of the curtain, swore that two weeks ago during a matinee performance there was a fire on the stage and that when he attempted to lower the as- bestos curtain it was stopped by the same obstruction that prevented its operation last Wednesday, the fatal afternoon. The curtain manager de- clares that he protested at that time, but that no attention was paid to his warning. “Chicago, Jan. 7.—By their own evi- dence given yesterday before Monroe Fulkerson, who is conducting the fire department investigation into the Troquois theatre horror, the proprie- tors of the theatre showed that a worse condition of affairs existed than had heretofore been thought possible. Will J. Davis, Harry J. Powers and Thomas J. Noonan, active managers of the Iroquois theatre, were exam- ined by Mr. Fulkerson. All of them pleaded ignorance of any precautions taken to prevent loss of life by fire at their theatre. They admitted fail- ure to instruct employes in fighting fire, and failure even to provide suit- able appliances for use against flames, ‘ Noonan, who is the working mana- ger of the theatre under direction of Davis and Powers, admitted that 11 of the theatre exits were locked and bolted. Two of these exits, leading to the front of the theatre on the ground floor, were locked, three addi- tional exits on the north side of the ground floor were bolted, three exits on the north side of the theatre from the first baleony were bolted, and three exits on the north side of the second balcony were bolted. The greatest loss of life from the fire was in the first and second bal- conies, where hundreds of people were suffocated through inability to get out, or were trampled to death while trying to do so. Had these three exits in each baleony been available, according to Inspector Ful- kerson, the loss of life must have been greatly diminished. The theatre seated 1,606 people and in addition to these 236 had been ad- mitted after all seats were sold, mak- ing a total of 1,842 people in the the- atre. Will J. Davis testified that he had given no orders to place a five alarm box in the theatre, that he had given no directions to place a pump upon the stage beyond the fact that any apparatus the firemen wanted should be provided as soon as possible. Manager Noonan 1m his evidence de- clared that Archibald Bernard, the electrician, was depended upon ‘to operate the skylights and yentila- tors. Bernard, who followed Noonan in giving evidence, said that he had never been told to look after either the skylights or ventilators and that his post was at the switchboard, where he had several hundred lights to manage. The stage ventilator, which would probably have saved many lives had it been ‘opened, was controlled, he declared, from the side of the stage opposite his post of duty. Fifteen other witnesses who had worked on the stage declared that they had never received any orders from the management as to what they should do in case of fire. There was never a fire drill in the theatre and none of the stage hands was ever informed as to the location or use of fire appliances, or the opera- tion of the ventilators over the audi- torium and stage.

Chicago, Jan. 5.—The closing down of Chicago theatres by order of Mayor Harrison has caused paralysis of business in many directions. Three thousand actors, stage hands and people who depend directly on the theatre for a living are idle, with no hope of employment for probably a fortnight. Restaurants that cater to the theatrical audiences have laid off many employes. The hotels are com- plaining and traffic on the street rail- ways has fallen off at night. Even the electric light signs which gave a drazzling effect to some of the gtreets have been cut off. : SUDDENLY RICH. Several Drinks of Whisky Raised the Man from Poverty to Affluence. Representative Bartlett, of Georgia, was in one of the small towns in his district cam- Briening last, tall says, the New Yorke orld, and heard a conversation between one of’ his friends who was about to move to Dallas county, Tex.,andanative: “Hear youall’ going to Texas,” said the native. “Yes: going to Dallas county.” “Well, I wish you'd look up my brother down there and tell him Vm. doing mighty poorly. The interest is coming due, and wish he would send me some money.” ‘Vhe native then went and bad a couple of drinks of local whisky. Shortly afterward he met the man who was going to Texas. ‘Lhear yowall are going to Texas?” yet “Well, if yowall run across my brother Jown there tell him I am fine and that everything is going along ail right.” ‘The man who Was going to Texas prom- ised and the native dropped into the saloon and had some more drinks. When be eame Out he again hailed the man who was going to Texas and said: “Say, if you see my brother down there just tell him to send to me if he needs ang money.” Good News from Minnesota, Lakefield, Minn., Jan. 4.—Mr. William E.
