SMITH ELLING PRINTING TRADE'S COUNTY 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. Best wishes for Ohio's new governor, Col. Myron T. Herrick. The daily press of the state did not seem to notice that the Ninth battalion, O. N. G., was in Monday's inaugural parade at Columbus. Why? That George Dixon has at last realized the wisdom and necessity of saving money and is making some to save, is almost as encouraging as the information that "Major" Taylor has "cleaned up" and saved many thousands of dollars in the last eight years. The ex-champions of the world in their classes, certainly have had exceptional opportunities to make and be worth considerable money. SIMMONS' "FOUR - FLUSHING." The Cleveland Gazette has taken Frank Simmon's retirement from the marshalship seriously. Great Scott! Thinks Simmons resigned, which was not so. His time was out within a month, would have been out many months ago, but the senate was more than a year confirming him and President McKinley had to send his name into the senate on sundry, and various occasions, until he wore out the patience of that body which confirmed him to get rid of him. Simmons was elected to the national convention at St. Louis along with yourself as a Reed delegate and he voted for McKinley and was rewarded with the marshalship, and for political acrobatism was only confirmed after repeated appointments. He thought he had a cinch on the reappointment until the colored republicans refused to indorse him and brought out the present marshal. Then Simmons, finding he had no chance sent in a resignation, which he thought could not be accepted earlier than the time of expiration of his term; but when the president immediately fired him "the blow almost killed father." Don't get it into your head Harry that a man who left Reed and went to Hanna and McKinley ever resigns. They don't.—Mobile (Ala.) Weekly Press. Well, well! And this Simmons is the individual (lily-white) who on being "fired" from office by the president, made such a noise about being so indignant as a result of Mr. Roosevelt's stand in favor of fairness in the treatment of all citizens, regardless of race or color, claiming that in taking such a position the president was "drawing a color-line in favor of the Negro and closing the door of hope to the white man." How silly! We repeat, Simmons rendered himself supremely ridiculous and foolish in the attitude he assumed. This our friend, Editor Johnson, of the Mobile Press, makes very clear and plain. STRONG VIEWS ON THE SUF- FRAGE QUESTION. The argument and views advanced of leading Republicans in a recent issue of the New York Evening Post, favoring suffrage and against Negro disfranchisement are so absolutely conclusive and just that one might well wonder how in reason can any intelligent mind ask the repeal of the fifteenth amendment. The attempted disfranchisement of Afro-Americans legally qualified to vote will be one of the leading questions under debate during the present session of congress and it will be made one of the main issues during the presidential campaign of this year. But we hold to the opinion of the best minds of the country that the man who favors the disfranchisement of colored men or white men legally qualified to vote is morally dishonest. We repeat what we have proclaimed a thousand times that the man who claims equal privileges for himself under his government and would deny them to his black brother under that government is a dangerous citizen and is morally dishonest. To mince our words in regard to such a stupendous wrong would be sheer cowardice to say the least. We do not understand how any high-minded Christian white man who loves his home and his country, and professes a reverent fear for the God of Heaven, can advocate a discrimination so repugnant to reason and common law. He loves with undying affection the children of his bosom and he would see them fill places of honor and trust. The Afro-American would do the same and would see his loved ones enjoy the same common blessings. He sensibly realizes that his country and his government has a claim upon him, hence he must do his part as a man and a citizen to meet the obligation. Then he must be a human monster that would withhold from the Afro-American the same equal rights of his countryman. From the very commence- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1904. positive terms when he says: "One of the most serious crimes in a republic is the crime against the ballot. Where that crime is committed and encouraged and openly advocated in a large section of the country and by the best people of such section, it assumes a still more serious aspect, not only in its effects, but also in the difficulty of remedy. The constitution gives the colored man the same right to vote as the white man. As long as such provision exists, no man is true to his government who denies that right. The expediency of these amendments is not now in question. They have been adopted. They are the law of the land. They will not be changed. They must be enforced. Any statue which in spirit or letter denies the right to vote on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, is illegal and a fraud upon the ballot and against the citizen. A legislative fraud is just as much a fraud as any other. To prevent a Negro from voting by legislative enactment is just as bad if not worse than to prevent his voting by intimidation, threats, or otherwise, and the man who holds his seat in the house of representatives under such legislation is there by fraud just as much as the man who secures his election by intimidation or stuffing ballot boxes." Hence the perpetrators of these acts are so well aware that they now seek the repeal of the fifteenth amendment. FORMALLY OPENED. Hall Memorial Industrial School—Ten Thousand Dollars for Its Use—History of Fund. Massillon, O.—The Hall Memorial Industrial school, for the education of our young women, was formally opened Tuesday. In 1854 a farmer named John Hall living here bequeathed a sum of money, now amounting to $10,000, to be used for the education of colored children, and this sum will be turned over to the Women's Friendly Institute, which is in charge of the school. Miss Frances A. Riley the superintendent, formerly conducted a school in Titusville, Pa. Special attention will be paid to training the pupils for domestic service. Thirty pupils have already been enrolled, four of whom are from Cleveland.

A program was presented, which included a piano selection by Miss Martha Nundy of Canton; a reading by Miss Cora Johnson, and a song by Mr. DeWitt Cunningham. All were exceptionally well rendered. Refreshments, dancing and a general good time followed. State Capital News. Columbus, O.—The inaugural demonstration on Monday was spectacular in the extreme and the largest for many years. It must have swelled up its Afro-American contingent because the daily papers all but failed to note their presence. A great deal of criticism was showered on the handful of Afro-American voters in the pasade because they failed to bring with them, as in years gone by, the famous Excelsior band of Cleveland. It was a disappointment we all felt keenly. There is a strong feeling here, in Xenia, and in Springfield where three of the four companies of the Ninth battalion are, that the commander of the organization should be replaced. It ought to be done for the good of the battalion. The new adjutant general will doubtless see that this is done as soon as possible.

Its a rough, but a true comparison; just so sure as a fly will spoil a fine dinner, just so sure will Calvin Chase [editor of Washington (D. C.)

He says Americans in Haiti give the Afro-American a very bad name. Myron T. Herrick Takes Oath of Office at Columbus. A Great Crowd of Enthusiastic People Witnessed the Inauguration—Ten Thousand Men Participated in the Magnificent Civic and Military Parade. Columbus, Jan. 12.—The inauguration of Col. Myron T. Herrick as governor of Ohio yesterday was participated in by a great multitude of people. The inaugural stand had been erected at the easternmost point of the circle of the great rotunda of the huge stone capitol building. On the stand during the ceremonies there were, besides the personal parties of the outgoing and incoming governors, Chief Justice Jacob F. Burket, of the supreme court, and Justices Shauck, Spear, Davis, Price and Crew; Rev. Dr. S. S. Palmer, pastor of the Broad street Pesbyterian church and chapain of the inauguration; ex-Gov. Asa S. Bushnell, Senator M. A. Hanna and wife, retiring Lieut. Gov. Gordon, Lieut. Gov.elect Warren G. Harding and wife, and state officials and friends. Gov. Nash and the joint legislative committee, escorted by Troop A, of Cleveland, of which the new governor was formerly a member, proceeded to Col. Herrick's residence on East Broad street. Arriving there Col. Herrick entered the carriage with Gov. Nash. The carriage in which Gov. Herrick rode was drawn by six white horses. On either side of the driver's seat stood an American flag. When the new governor came into view the whole of the gathered throng cheered as one man. Men waived their hats and women their handkerchiefs. The initial ovation was the grandest burst of enthusiasm of the whole occasion, and its volume was so great and earnestness so pronounced that it could not have failed to arouse a sense of deep appreciation in the heart of the honored man. As the governor-elect and escort stepped upon the inaugural stand the ceremonies were begun. J. Y. Bassell called the assembled hosts to order and briefly announced the occasion for the gathering. After the Republican Glee club had sung the American hymn, Gov. Nash arose and, addressing himself to Col. Herrick, said: "As governor of Ohio, I have but one official duty yet to perform, and that is to deliver to you your commission as governor for the ensuing two years. This I do with great pleasure, first, because I am executing the command of the people, so emphatically uttered at the late election that all the world knows that they want you for their chief executive; and, second, because I personally know that you are worthy of the honor conferred, and will at all times care for the peace, happiness and prosperity of our state. I wish for you a most successful administration." Col. Herrick had arisen from his seat to listen to the words of Gov. Nash, and now Chief Justice Burket of the supreme court, stepped forward and administered the oath of office. Turning to the crowd which filled the rotunda of the capitol, Gov. Herrick delivered his inaugural address. At the conclusion of the address the governor proceeded to the executive chamber, where he signed the commission of Secretary to the Governor Tod B. Galloway. Meantime Lieut. Gov. Warren G. Harding, editor of the Marion Star, was being inaugurated in the senate chamber and the newly elected state officials were being inducted into office in their various departments. At 1 o'clock Gov. Herrjck, accompanied by ex-Gov. Nash and the state officials, took their place in the inaugural parade, which moved through the principal streets. There were fully 10,000 men in line, including 44 companies of the Ohio national guard, a battalion of the United States army, veterans of two wars, civic and secret organizations and a division of historic pageantry. The inaugural parade was surpassing in its elaborate conception, impressive in its organized strength, and satisfying in every detail. Every promise was fulfilled. No feature that had been scheduled was missing and in brillancy of equipment many of the visiting organizations were solledid surprises. Columbus was in gala dress for the occasion. Public spirit was encouraged to unusual efforts and public buildings and business houses alike were resplendent in decorations. One pathetic feature of the otherwise happy conditions was the state house flag at half-mast in memory of ex-Gov. Foster and the somber draped carriage that marked his absence from the triumphant pageant that welcomed the new governor. The pageantry division was preeminently the feature of the parade. In point of luxuriousness of equipment it was a revelation. In every detail the dress of the participating organizations was true to their respective periods, and traced the period of progress with historic accuracy from the days of the ancient Greek and Roman warrior to the present day. Ordered an Investigation Washington, Jan. 12.--The president has ordered the state department to make a thorough investigation of United States consulates at Shanghai, Canton and Amoy. For a year past charges have been flying backward and forward affecting the conduct of the business at those consulates and the consuls themselves have indulged in mutual recriminations and charges that have made it evident to the state department officials that there is need for a thorough investigation which will form the basis for a complete change of consulates in the orient. Herrick's First Official Act: Columbus, Jan. 12.—Gov. Herrick's first official action was to sign the requisition papers requesting the return of Henry F. Milner from Indiana. Milner is under arrest charged with having passed a number of bogus checks upon local business men. The Fall was Katal. Columbus, Jan. 9. James C. Parkinson, of Zanesville, a patient at the Columbus State hospital, fell down a flight of stairs at the institution, sustaining a fractured skull from which he died later. Attorney General Knox Tells How He Is Spending the Special Appropriation of $500,000. Washington, Jan. 14.—Attorney General Knox on Wednesday transmitted to the house his reply to the resolution asking for information regarding the manner in which he had expended the special appropriation of $500,000 for anti-trust prosecutions. A detailed statement of expenditures shows that a total of $25,985 has been disbursed from the appropriation. Of this amount $5,541 was paid to William A. Day, assistant to the attorney general; $3,750 to M. D. Purdy, assistant attorney general; $3,214 to W. M. Collier, special assistant to the attorney general; $2,389 to G. C. Todd, law clerk; $1,103 to J. C. Morecock, confidential clerk; $562 to J. H. Graves, confidential clerk, and $10,000 to D. T. Watson as special counsel in the case of the government against the Northern Securities Co. Under the head of "expenses" $983 was disbursed. The attorney general submits a statement describing the nature of the cases prosecuted, beginning with the Northern Securities case, now awaiting decision by the supreme court. The beef trust case he describes as "a proceeding in equity brought under the anti-trust act in the northern judicial district of Illinois, to dissolve an alleged unlawful combination and conspiracy between seven corporations, one partnership and 23 individuals, engaged in the business of purchasing live stock, converting the same into fresh and cured meats, and shipping and selling the products to dealers and consumers throughout the United States and in, foreign countries." This case was before the supreme court of the United States from the circuit court, which overruled a demurrer interposed by the defendants and remanded the case. Railroad injunction suits are proceeding in equity under the anti-trust act against 14 railroad companies, of which eight are pending in the United States circuit court for the western district of Missouri and six before the same court for the northern district of Illinois. "The object of the proceedings," the attorney general says "was to break up an unlawful combination between the railroad companies and certain favored shippers, whereby the latter were granted rebates or concessions from the published rates of the railroads for carrying grain and other products from one state to another." Testimony in these cases is now being taken. A case against the coal carrying roads is now pending before the supreme court of the United States, to be heard March 7, 1904, on a motion to compel witnesses to give testimony before the inter-state commerce commission and to produce books and papers demanded by the commission in an investigation of the method of conducting business as pursued by the roads. A case brought by the inter-state commerce commission against the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway Co. to restrain the road from overcharges between certain points mentioned, the rates being alleged to be "excessive and unreasonable; discriminating and higher for short hauls than for long hauls," is now pending before the supreme court of the United States on appeal. The Jacksonville Wholesale Grocers' association suit is a proceeding in equity under the anti-trust act in the circuit-court of Florida for the purpose of dissolving "a combination of wholesale grocers." This case is ready for the taking of testimony. The salt trust case is described as an indictment under the anti-trust act in the circuit court for the northern district of California against the federal Salt Co. for having created a combination and monopoly to control and enhance the price of salt. The defendants pleaded guilty May 12, 1903, and were fined $1,000. "The hay and straw classification case," is described as brought by the inter-state commerce commission against the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway Co. to prevent an unjust classification of hay and straw and unjust and unreasonable charges for their transportation. This case is now pending before the circuit court of Ohio. Eckstein Is Acquitted. Allentown, Pa., Jan. 14.—Alois Eckstein, one of the lovers of Mabel Bechtel, who was murdered last October, was yesterday acquitted of complicity in the crime after a brief trial in which the conduct of the prosecution sorely tried the patience, not only of Judge Trexler, but also of the jurymen and counsel for the defense. E. J. Lichtenwalner, district attorney of Lehigh county, was so befogged that it was with difficulty the case was carried to a conclusion. Several times the court interfered and threatened to end the proceedings for the day unless the state conducted its case in a more orderly manner. $150,000 Fire Loxs. Baltimore, Jan. 14.—Fire last night destroyed the plant of the Baltimore Badge and Novelty Co. and ruined the stock of William Lehman & Co., wholesale jewelers. The interior of the seven-story building was also destroyed. The total loss was about $150,000. Several employees of the Badge and Novelty Co. jumped from a seventh-story window to the roof of an adjoining five-story warehouse and received slight injuries. Kisses May Cause Death. Chicago, Jan. 14.—The kiss of a child may cause the death of three persons now at the Pasteur institute under treatment for rabies. The child is dead of the malady. Although the parents hurried the boy to Chicago as soon as they learned the nature of the illness, they were too late. The victims are: Harold Latta, 3 years old, bitten by mad dog at Madrid, Ia., October 28, died yesterday. W. V. Latta, the boy's father, who kissed the child while ill and was bitten on the hands. Matilda Latta, the mother, whose lips were infected from kissing the boy. An Ordinance to Regulate "Scalping" St. Louis, Jan. 14.—Acting Mayor Hornsby yesterday signed the bill placing restrictions and limitations on the business of ticket brokers. The new ordinance forbids brokers to deal in excursion, commutation and mileage tickets. It provides that the broker shall furnish each passenger with a certificate stating the exact use which may be made of the ticket and in case the purchaser finds it cannot be so used, shall refund his money. It also gives the mayor the power to revoke the license of any ticket broker for a violation of the ordinance. Ten People, Eager to Get Home, Tumble Down an Elevator Shaft from the Sixth Floor - Accident Caused by Crowding of Fellow Workmen. St. Louis, Jan. 14.—A crowd of employees pressing against the elevator gate last night on the sixth floor of the Brown Shoe Co.'s building at Eleventh street and Washington avenue, caused the gate to give way and ten persons were plunged down the shaft. Six were taken out dead and the other four, seriously injured, were hurried to the city hospital. Two of the injured died soon after reaching the hospital and without regaining consciousness. The employees had assembled at the close of work in the corridors on the different floors, waiting for the elevator to take them down. The elevator was at the seventh floor receiving passengers when those on the sixth floor, eager to get near the door and be first into the cage, began to push toward the gate. Suddenly the gate gave way, just as the elevator started to descend, and ten of the employees plunged head first down the shaft. The dead: Joseph Provasznik. George Rothmann. Frank Weinberger, died at hospital. Antonio Giacomo, died at hospital. Lorenzo Giacomo, son. James Johnson, the elevator operator, was taken into custody by the police, pending an investigation. Johnson said the elevator gate did not break, but that it had been raised by employees while waiting for the car to descend to the floor, and suddenly employees in the rear of the crowd began pushing, precipitating them down the shaft. Factory Superintendent Fray corroborated Johnson's story. JAPAN'S REPLY. It Has Been Given to Russia—Negotiations Likely to Continue for Some Time. London, Jan. 14.—A dispatch from Tokio says that Japan's answer to the last Russian note was handed Wednesday afternoon to Baron De Rosen, the Russian minister, and that negotiations will be continued without any time limit being set for their termination. The demands which Japan is said to have made, according to reports published abroad, have caused some surprise in Tokio according to the dispatch, and it is now stated that Japan never asked for the evacuation of Manchuria, but on the contrary frankly recognized Russia's special interests there and her right to protect them. Japan only demanded the realization of Russia's voluntary pledges respecting China's territorial integrity in Manchuria and the freedom of residential rights and international trade therein. The Seoul correspondent of the Daily Mail cables a description of a state of panic which he says exists at the royal palace. The emperor has issued a pitiful edict, stating that the country is likely to be lost owing to the weakness and vacillation of the people, whom he counsels to act for the best in their own interests. The emperor also issued an ordinance warning the army not to fire in the event of a collision between foreign troops. St. Petersburg, Jan. 14.—There is strong discontent with the government's policy among the majority of the reading public, except in army and navy circles, and even these are not particularly anxious for war. The general public considers that the country's honor would be unsullied even if no attention were paid to Japan's demands. Conclusions favorable to peace could only be drawn from these sentiments if the popular discontent had reached the masses, which hitherto have been ignorant of the fact that war is even threatened. THE SCHENLY WILL It Provides for the Disposal of an Estate Valued at $48,000,000. Pittsburg, Jan. 14.—The American will of Mrs. Mary E. Schenly was filed for probate Wednesday. The will is a very simple one. It creates a trust with three trustees. The trustees are given the duty of selling her property in Pennsylvania and sending the money to her trustees in England. They are given every power possible in carrying out this plan and are to follow their own discretion as to when and how they shall execute their work. No public bequests are made. The trustees named by Mrs. Schenly are Andrew Carnegie, of Pittsburg; Denny Brereton, of Yonkers, N. Y., and John Herron, of Pittsburg. The value of the Schenly estate in Allegheny county is placed at about $48,000.00. Exchanged Ratifications. Washington, Jan. 14.—Ratifications of the American-Chinese commercial treaty were exchanged at the state department yesterday by Secretary Hay and the Chinese minister. The treaty provides for the opening of the ports of Mukden and Antung, in Manchuria, to the world's commerce. Cold Weather Tiles Up Paper Mills. Glens Falls, N. Y., Jan. 14.—The continuance of the cold weather is having a serious effect on the paper industries throughout the Adirondacks because of its effect on water power. The Hudson river is unusually low and lumbermen who are working in the head waters of the river say that hundreds of small streams are frozen to such a depth as to completely shut off the water supply. The ground pulp supply is already short, which has necessitated shutting down some of the machines at the paper mills. Probing a Brilbery Story. St. Louis, Jan. 14.—The grand jury yesterday began an investigation of the story to the effect that a bribe of $15,000 had been solicited from J. W. Peebles to insure the passage of the bill providing for a pneumatic tube service between Union station and the world's fair grounds. ExeMinister Denby Dies. Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 14.—Hon. Charles Denby, formerly United States minister at Pekin, died yesterday at the Hotel Sherman, James-town. He had delivered an address there Tuesday night. I Subscribe for "The Gazette." CLAIRVOYANT.

Miss Cora Jackson was in the city last week en route to Baltimore, from Detroit. It is rumored that W. H. Boyd ("Starlight") and Miss Ollie Hamlett were married recently. Harry Williams Jones and Miss Etta Gordon of Livingstone street, were married Thursday evening. Our band boys were not taken to the inauguration at Columbus on Monday. Ask any of them, why? Mrs. Henry Minter and Mr. Carroll Scott were leading participants in a Newburg church concert on Tuesday evening. Current rumor had it that Henry Taylor made a "still hunt" for Syd Thompson's place. He denies this, however. The progress of the local True Reformers during the past year has been exceptional and is attracting a great deal of attention. Mrs. Addie Stewart Robinson formerly of this city, but of recent years residing in Gillipolis, died the 2d and was buried the 5th. All the members of St. John's church trustee board were recently elected with the exception of I. E. Oliver, who was succeeded by J. E. Edwards. One of our local daily papers certainly poked a lot of fun last week at Eubanks and Syd Thompson. Thus doth the silly business we predicted, start Frank Isaac, box 176, Marion, Iowa, has something of interest for Joseph Smith, the barber, if the latter will write him promptly—so Mr. Isaac writes The Gazette. A unique and very pretty poster which was ordered in the east by Mr. Daniel Young of the firm, Young Brothers, caterers, announces his grand prize masquerade ball at Forest Street armory on the 2d prox. According to a Columbus correspondent of one of the local daily papers, "a complete list of appointees to positions in the adjutant-general's office was announced" last Sunday night. Fulton's name was not on the list. Miss Hattie E. Henderson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Henderson, of Newton street, left last week for Washington, D. C., to enter the Freedman's hospital and take up the two years' trained nurse course. She entered upon her studies and duties Monday morning. The Gazette acknowledges the receipt early last week of a pressing invitation from the Columbus Inaugural Press committee to participate in the demonstrations of last Monday which inducted into office Gov. Myron T. Herrick, and also to attend the smoker at the Great Southern hotel, the same evening, given in honor of the visiting newspaper men. Mr. Wm. Mylechrane, a well known active republican, will be a candidate for county commissioner. Mr. Mylechrane is clever and has a host of friends, and would add strength to the republican ticket if nominated. It would give The Gazette pleasure to support him. A grand concert and ball will be given Sunday evening at Bohemian National hall, corner of Broadway and Mead avenue, by the Great Western band, Prof. Frank Hruby, director. This organization is acknowledged to be the best in the city and we trust as many as can possibly do so will attend the concert. The local Federation of Women's Clubs presented a program at Mt. Zion church last Sunday evening. As the result of illness, Miss Emma Tolbert read Miss Sarah Mitchell's paper. Others were read by Miss Bertha Blue, and Mrs. L. J. Price, whose production was decidedly the best of the evening. There were very pleasing vocal and instrumental solos and a duet by Mesdames Foster and Seelig. Miss Emma Tolbert, who graduated from the Normal school last June, and has substituted successfully during the fall months, has been given a charge and is now one of our regular school teachers. This is very pleasing to her many friends who feel that she is entitled to a great deal of credit for her perseverance in the face of somewhat adverse circumstances—sickness and death in the family. Mt. Zion church recently re-elected her trustees and added two more—T. N. Jackson and J. Harvey Jackson, sr. Two new deacons were also elected—Wm. Bailey and a gentleman whose name we failed to secure. Miss Lulu Pleasant was elected assistant church clerk, and Wm. J. Howland, chorister. All the other church officials were also re-elected. A resolution offered by the pastor some months ago, making an important change in the church manual, was adopted. Services at Cory chapel, Sunday, were largely attended. The pastor seemed at his best and preached two excellent sermons. At the quarterly conference, F. W. Corbin was elected superintendent of the Sunday school, and Mrs. J. S. Thomas, president of the Epworth League. The cabinet officers will meet on Monday evening and map out the league work for the year. Every one is cordially invited to be present at the services Sunday. Rev. C. B. Mitchell will preach at 5 o'clock. The mortgage will be burned at the evening service, Rev. Cory officiating. All are welcome. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1904. Dr. E. M. Grant, 280 Central avenue, entertained the Hiawatha and Pocohontas clubs, Monday evening, the occasion being her eleventh marriage anniversary. Those who attended that were not members, were Mrs. John A. Davis of Toledo, Miss Nelson, Reading, Pa., Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Lemon, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Daw, Mr. and Mrs. Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Edmonds, Misses Ida and Carrie Brown, Pearl Crawford, Misses Walden, Banks, Willa Shook, Clara Doughlass, Mesdames Henrietta Braggs, Fields and J. A. Rogers. A fine luncheon was served and a good time was had by all. It now develops that even Sam Moore is not indebted to the little "Black Tammany" for the legislature portership he got last week at Columbus. Sam is thanking the local republican executive committee. Syd Thompson is indebted to the governor for the messenger-portership he got. So Henry Eubanks got nothing for our people, just as we predicted. His claim that he had any part in securing places for other Afro-Americans, is silly. Their representatives from their own counties "placed" them. An individual who could not get a place for one of his own constituents of color, certainly would not be able to do it for an Afro-American resident of another county. The Twelfth Ward Republican League (club), better known as the "Grafters," a few congenial "spirits," were everlastingly sat upon in the matter of appointments by the little "Black Tammy." The members of the East End Republican club got the same treatment, and our band boys were given a miserably dirty turn-down on Monday by the same gang. All are very, VERY sore. Rah! for Hanna, Eubanks, Clifford, Myers, Lee, Fulton and Black of the Z club. With the exception of Hanna these are the leaders of the little "Black Tammy." Wonder why the "Tammy" refused to indorse its veteran member, Wm. H. Patterson, for a job at Columbus? There is feeling at the Z club against the "Tammy" and this place is the organization's auxiliary headquarters. Joe Gans Won. Detroit, Mich.—Joe Gans, the light-weight champion, was given a well-merited decision over Willie Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, at the end of their ten-round bout before the Metropolitan Athletic club, in the Light Guard armory, Tuesday night. He knocked Fitzgerald down four times, forced the fighting during most of the time, and landed more effective and more powerful blows. He showed a most decided superiority. He knocked Fitzgerald down in the first round, and in the fourth with a punch on the jaw, in the sixth, with a terrific swing to the same place, and again in the eighth with a left hand blow on the jaw. He kept up a constant hammering on the Brooklyn boy's ribs and forced the fighting at all times, except in the fifth and ninth rounds. Pianist at Haltian Court. New York City.—Prof. Ford Dabney, pianist, of Washington, D. C., has been engaged as pianist to President Noro Alexis of Haiti. The engagement is for a period of four months and salary of $5,000. Prof. Dabney was engaged through Joseph Jefford, special envoy of Hayti to this country, who heard the pianist play in a hotel here. They have arrived at Port-au-Prince. Correspondents Wanted. The old reliable Gazette desires an energetic and honest agent, and a good correspondent, in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents.

I think I have done so. “One of the things I have found out to my entire satistaction is the proper thing for ailments that are due directly to the effects of the climate. For U5 years I have withstood the changéable climate of the United States. “I have always been a very healthy man, but of course subject to the little affections which are due to sudd-a changes in the climate SS During my long life I have knowna great many remedies for coughs, colds and diarrhoea. “As for Dr. Hartman’s remedy, Peruna, I have found it to be the best, if not the only, reliable remedy for these affections, It has been my standby for many years, and | attrib- ute my good health and extreme old age to this remedy. “Tt exactly meets all my requirements.
