Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1804 to 1806. 1806 to 1808. 1900 to 1902. ALLIED PRINTING TRADE S 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. If Brother Clifford of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press lived a little farther north, in Cleveland, for instance, he would see in print and hear oftener the words German-American, Irish-American, Russian-American, Italian-American, Welsh-American and French-American, than he does Afro-American. The last named is certainly preferable to the word Negro. While we are free to confess that we do not like President. Roosevelt's southern "referee" system and some other things he has done and said, yet in our judgment he is infinitely preferable as the next republican candidate for the presidency, to four dozen Hannas or any other prominent republican mentioned in connection with the nomination. We want that fight between Hanna and Senator Foraker backed up by the Roosevelt administration, for the control of the Ohio delegation in the next national republican convention, to be made. If it is, there are a whole lot of people in this country who will have many a Hanna scale pulled off their eyes and thus be able to see that individual's political course in this state in its true light. By all means, let us have the fight. We extend to the family of Col. William A. Pledger, deceased, our sincerest sympathy. For twenty or more years he has been our friend—frank, generous, intensely loyal and steadfast. Not only has Georgia republicans lost their leader, but the race has lost one of its foremost, truest and best guides. To know the colonel was to love him. He possessed many more excellent qualities than those we have enumerated. In spite of his age, the Afro-American press has lost one of its youngest, most vigorous, and best members, in the death of the editor of the Atlanta Age. Hon. Edward H. Morris, the only Afro-American member of the Illinois legislature, a Chicago attorney of exceptional ability, and ex-grand master of the G. U. O. of O. F., delivered a lecture on "Shams" at the Bethel literary society in Metropolitan A. M. E. church, Washington, D. C., recently, in which he literally dissected Booker T. Washington's methods which are so hurtful to the race's progress, particularly that of those in the north. Mr. Morris' criticisms were based upon exerpts from books and articles written by Mr. Washington. He characterized the latter as the leaders of shams. It is a pity that Mr. Morris cannot deliver his lecture in every city, town and village of the country where there are a considerable number of our people. It is equally if not more necessary, that the whites of these various communities should hear him also. THE EDUCATION WE NEED. Senator Beverige has discussed in able terms the kind of education needed by the American people. He presents the accruing efficiency so necessary for the growth, development and perpetuity of our institutions of government. The senator dwells upon that patriotism, which is the outgrowth of true statesmanship and demands the cultivation of those principles upon which all governments must endure. But the senator fails to specify in appropriate terms the principles most essential for the preservation of all popular governments. But the philosopher and far seeing statesman must reach the one and only conclusion that no government, nor principality, nor power can successfully exist that does not ingraft into its organic being the life giving principles of equality, liberty and justice to all men before the law. These principles must prevail and remain uppermost in the administration of public duties, or the government must go down. The world very well understands the nature and operation of our system of government and Americans themselves are not ignorant of the need and education which is most essential to a strong and enduring system of government for the triumph of American principles. It seems a pity and a thing much to be regretted that the American people with all their superior advantages over other nations, and despite their unrivaled civilization, they will not adopt the measures and policies which must conduce to their lasting and permanent existence as a world power among nations. The records of the past are certainly, doubly reassuring as to the possibilities before us. But we dare not heed the admonitions so constantly brought to public notice in the life of the nation. We dare not teach the lessons of omen duty and act upon the outlies THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 23. 1904. which are manifestly vox dei. But the education most needed and the lessons most essential to be taught are as plain and palpable as the revolving sun in his course through the heavens. What is that education and what is the lesson which we would demand? It is that education which trains and fits a man not only to enjoy citizenship, but it is that which obligates and enforces supreme regard for the rights and privileges of all men irrespective of all races. Men must be educated to know their duties to themselves, to their fellows and their God and without discrimination, without cant or equivocation bend their energies, their hearts and souls in the execution of duties, which alone can preserve a nation. Let our school be managed and men be so educated, and at once, our government and our liberty are assured. MADE MOONSHINE WHISKY. Government Troops in Kentucky Mountains Emulated the Natives' Example. "Moonshine whisky is often made under difficulties, and you would be surprised to know how scantily some of the places are equipped," said a man from the mountainous region of a southern state, reports the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "Often you would think it quite impossible for a set of men make 'mountain dew,' as imperfect as it is, with the few things you would find in one of these places. But they make it, just the same, and as a producer of picturesque, gaudy, rollicking and desperate jags there is nothing like it under the sun. There is a reason, to be sure, why men engaged in this business are not particularly anxious to have an extensive outfit. It is easier to hide a few things than it is to hide a whole car load, in the event of surprise by a revenue officer. Besides the appearance of a few ordinary and commonplace utensils is not so apt to develop suspicion as more extensive equipment at one of these places. I am reminded of this by a fact that developed in the mountains of Kentucky some time ago. For some reason state troops had been thrown into the region at that particular time, and the officer in command found that his men were doing a great amount of drinking. As a matter of fact, the officer had been drinking a bit himself, but had come upon a lucid moment, and it occurred to him that he had better make a few inquiries and find out where the stuff was coming from. He did. And he found out in a short while. The still was not raided, nor did the officer make any attempt to confiscate the paraphernalia. The fact is, the whisky was being made in the military kitchen, in the pans and pots belonging to the state, and out of meal which had been furnished to feed the soldiers. Of course, the thing was stopped by the officer. But the instance serves to illustrate the point I had in mind, namely, that the moonshiner doesn't need a very extensive equipment. Give him a pot, a bag of meal and some water, and he will produce about as fine a brand of 'mountain dew' as you would care to find." HOODOO NAMES OF SHIPS. Are Those Which Have Been Taken from the Principal Cities of the World. The pilots of the port of Philadelphia foregather on Walnut street, down near the river, in a bare, gray room. Here they wait their turn to go on duty, and here they talk of ships, of shipwrecks, of skippers and of great storms, says the Philadelphia Record. A group of pilots agreed the other day that it was a bad thing to name a ship City of Rome, City of Paris, city of anything. They said that ships so named were bound to be unfortunate, and they declared that this fact was generally known, and rarely, if ever, nowadays was a ship christened with a name containing the words "city of." "It is a superstition," an old, bowed pilot said, "but there are facts to back it up. Do you know the story of the City of Boston? Well, that boat, with 800 souls aboard, sailed out of New York harbor one fine day in 1870, and she has never been heard of since. Never been heard of since! Not a word, not a splintered spar, not a drowned body. Out of New York, with 800 aboard, she sailed, and it was as though the earth had opened and swallowed her up. "But there was a whole lot of boats named City of this or City of that that went down with all hands. Back in 1840 the City of Bristol sank, and 35 lives were lost. In 1854 the City of Glasgow went down and carried with her 480 men and women. The City of Waco, with 75 aboard, was lost in 1874, and a year afterward the City of Hartford and the City of Mexico both went down. "And there's a host of other boats that were lost in years I don't remember—for instance, the City of Troy, the City of Manhattan, the City of Havana, the City of San Francisco, the City of Meriden and so on. Then didn't the City of Rome, about 10 years ago, run into that terrible rock, the Fastnett, off the Irish coast?" NOT YET FAMOUS. There Had Been No Five-Cent Cigar Named After Him, and the Statesman Sighed. The great statesman sat alone in his study, gloomily thoughtful. He had just returned to his home after delivering a speech which had been thunderously applauded. His reception had been indeed an ovation, but it brought no joy to him, says the New York Times. "What's the use of it all?" he murmured, with a sigh. "Men think that I am happy because I have youth, fame, vast health, and a dazzling political future. Ha! ha! "Little they know of the ringuish of fame, my one all-devouring desire, is denied the one fond desire of his heart. "Youth! That will soon be gone. Wealth! A turn of the market may carry it away. Political future! Who can tell what changes a year may bring forth? "Fame? Ha! ha! What does my fame amount to? The greatest statesmen of the country hang on my words when I speak, and I sway the multitude as I please. But, fame, real lasting fame, my one all-dewouring desire, is denied me. "No manufacturer has given my name to a five-cent cigar!" They Come From Many Parts of the World.

Pins welded into a solid mass and weighing 14 ounces have been found in the stomach of a cow by a meat dresser at a Chicago packing plant. How the animal secured such a quantity of them and why it ate them none of the men in the packing plants will attempt to explain. The animal was shipped from Freedom, Minn. Encased within the body of a man 23 years old the doctors of Lincoln hospital in New York City have found the vital organs that belong to an octogenarian.

President Mitchell Presided Over the Convention - Secretary's Report Showed Membership of 3300. 000 - Miners Have Over $1,000,000 in Bank. Indianapolis, Jan. 19.—The fifteenth annual convention o the United Mine Workers of America began in Tomlinson hall yesterday with approximately 1,000 delegates present. Brief addresses of welcome were made by Mayor Holtzman and President Barry, of the Central Labor union, which were responded to by President Mitchell, who then announced the committees on rules and order of business. While the convention was working on the credentials the rules committee returned and announced that the reports of the officers would precede the report of the credentials committee. President Mitchell then delivered his annual address. Vice President Lewis delivered his annual report following the address of President Mitchell. Mr. Lewis reviewed his work of organization during the past year in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Iowa, Kentucky, Alabama and Missouri. During the year 60 organizers were regularly employed in addition to the national board members, each reporting weekly. The receipts for strike purposes exceeded the expenditures by $7,218, while the net increase in the funds of the national organization for 11 months ended November 30 is $79,078. On that date there was in Indianapolis banks belonging to the organization $1,129,137. The paid membership is 289,836. The total membership is approximately 330,000. To avoid the loss of revenue from these 40,000 members not paid up, which would amount to $96,000 annually, the stamp system is advocated in the report. Secretary Wilson then made his annual report in which he said he had hoped to report a larger amount of money on hand, but the large number of strikes requiring aid from the national organization had been a great drain on its resources. There has been received from the anthracite strike assessment and in donations listed for the defense fund $57,646 and from the 10 per cent. assessment $258,351. There has been paid to assist unions needing help $308,780. "DOLLAR DINNER." It was Given to Welcome W. J. Bryan on His Return from Europe. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 19.—A formal welcome to W. J. Bryan on his return from Europe, taking the form of a "dollar dinner," was held last night, and it was attended by nearly 700 democrats. The dinner was intended as a testimonial of regard and sympathy with Mr. Bryan's political policies and to mark his entry into active participation in the pre-convention campaign. Mr. Bryan spoke on "The Moral Issue." Among other things he said: "The Kansas City platform is sound on every plank, and the first act of the next democratic convention should be to reaffirm it in its entirety, and its next act should be the addition of new planks in harmony with it and covering such new questions as demand consideration. "Then the convention should select candidates who believe in the platform, candidates whose democracy will not be an issue in the campaign and whose fidelity to democratic principles will not be doubted at the election. And then the committee should announce that it will neither ask nor receive contributions from those who are entrenched behind the bulwarks which we are attacking. "And then let us defend our position, not on the low ground of dollars and cents, but by showing how republican policies violate moral principles and invite the punishment that sooner or later overtakes the wrong-doer. "Will such a course insure victory? The best that our party can do is to deserve victory, and an appeal to the conscience of the American people is sure to win ultimately and offers the best promise of immediate success." Socialists Call a Convention. Omaha, Neb., Jan. 19.—The executive committee of the national socialist party, in session here Monday, issued a call for a national convention to meet in Chicago, May 1. The call says the basis of representation shall be one delegate for each 100 members in good standing and one delegate at large from each state.

Johnstown, Pa., Jan. 19.—Deputy Sheriff William Begley, John Long and Robert Saylor and an Italian striker were shot yesterday in a clash with striking coal miners at Boswell, 18 miles from here. Three Polish women had been held for court charged with inciting to riot, resisting an officer and assault and battery, and when a dozen officers started to the lockup with the women, the crowd surged in and shooting resulted. Saylor and the Italian are seriously hurt, while the injuries of Begley and Long are not so severe. The women were landed in jail. Plans for a Great Bridge. Sydney, C. B., Jan. 19.—Announcement was made yesterday by the Strait of Canso Bridge Co. that a Kansas City firm of engineers has been commissioned to prepare plans for the proposed bridge across the Strait of Canso. The cantilever span will be the largest in the world, measuring 1,800 feet, and will rest on two abutments of steel, 40 feet in diameter. The length of the bridge from shore to shore will be 3,300 feet and the main span will be 150 feet above the water. The estimated cost is $5,000,000. PURE FOOD BILL It Passes the House of Representatives - Standards Fixed for Purity and Strength of Foods and Drugs. Washington, Jan. 21.—The house passed the Hepburn pure food bill yesterday on a rising vote, 201 to 68, its opponents being unable to secure a roll call on the bill. The amendment inserting the word "willful" with reference to persons who sell adulterated or misbranded goods, and which would have compelled the government to prove intent to violate the law by the vendors, was stricken out on a yea and nay vote. Several attempts were made to amend the bill, but no material changes were made. The bill fixes the standards of foods and drugs as to their purity, strength and character and defines what shall be considered adulterations or misbranding of foods and drugs. It also prohibits interstate commerce, importation and exportation of such misbranded or adulterated articles. It is proposed to enlarge the scope of the bureau of chemistry to include the bureau of foods and impose upon it the duty of performing all chemical work for the other executive departments. This bureau will be charged with the duty of inspecting food and drug products which belong to interstate or foreign commerce. The secretary of agriculture is given authority to employ such chemists, inspectors, clerks and laborers as may be necessary for the enforcement of the act. One section of the bill provides penalties for the introduction of adulterated or misbranded foods or drugs and another section requires the secretary of agriculture to prescribe rules and regulations to govern the director of the bureau of chemistry and foods in examinations of articles required to be inspected under the law. Violations of the law shall be reported by the secretary of agriculture to the proper district attorney of the United States, who is to cause proceedings to begin without delay. Morgan Would Annex Panama. Washington, Jan. 21.—Senator Morgan yesterday introduced a bill providing for the annexation of Panama to the United States, "the rights and property of Panama resting in the United tSates without reserve." The bill appropriates $10,000,000 as compensation to Panama for its cession; places $15,000,000 at the disposal of the president for the compensation of Colombia, and appropriates $40,000,000 for the purchase of the property of the Panama Canal Co. in Colombia, including the Panama canal. Charges Against Justice Hooker. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 21.—Charges of the Bar association of Jamestown against State Supreme Court Justice W. B. Hooker, former representative in congress, were brought before the State Bar association yesterday. The charges quote the report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow relative to alleged irregularities in the postoffices at Dunkirk and Fredonia, with reference to rentals of postoffice buildings, and set forth that M. H. Taylor, named in Bristow's report, was appointed postmaster at Dunkirk upon Hooker's recommendation and that Hooker was and is one of the owners of the postoffice building in Dunkirk, alleged to have been the subject of excessive rental. Plan to Run at Terrific Speed. Schenectady, N. Y., Jan. 21.—Plans to equal and possibly beat the speed of 120 miles an hour made at Prossen, Germany, some time ago, were made Wednesday at a conference between officials and experts representing the New York Central railroad and the General Electric Co. The tests are to be made on the tracks between this city and Hoffmans. If present plans hold, the Central thus will be enabled to run trains through New York City and on its surburban lines at an unparalleled rate of speed. Trolley Car Ran Away. Pittsburg, Jan. 21.—Of the 30 passengers aboard a trolley car which ran away in Rankin last night, five were seriously hurt and ten others badly bruised and shocked. The car while descending the steep grade on Hawkins avenue got beyond control, by reason of icy tracks. After running about 30 yards it jumped the curve and plunged over a 20-foot embankment, turned completely over and lodged in a snow bank just on the brink of a hill. Is Accused of Embezzling $26,500. A Triple Tragedy. New York, Jan. 21.—Mrs. Louise Elion, 28 years old, of East Sixty-fourth street, was found mortally injured by a pistol shot wound at her home Wednesday. Her two children, Annie, 8 years, and Rosie, 7 years, were found dead, having been killed by pistol shot wounds. The woman was alive when found, but died shortly afterwards. It is believed that she shot her children and then committed suicide. Bryan's Answer. New Haven, Conn., Jan. 21.—The answer of William J. Bryan to the appeal from the probate court brought by heirs of the late Philo S. Bennett, was filed yesterday in the superior court. In the answer Mr. Bryan figures both as executor of the Bennett will and as trustee under the terms of the will. In effect the answer declares that the sealed letter referred to in the will makes it the duty of the executor to pay $50,000 to Mrs. Bennett to be turned over to William J. Bryan and that Section 12 of the will, mentioning the sealed letter, is valid. Trains Stalled in the Snow Syracuse, N. J., Jan. 21.—The east-bound train on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western which left here at 10 o'clock Tuesday night became stalled in the snow at Summit, and was unable to move until noon Wednesday. The trolley line to Auburn was forced to suspend business. Heavy drifting snow has paralyzed all the railroads except the main line of the New York Central. The worst blockade in years prevails on the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg road. Trains are ten to 15 hours late and many have been abandoned. The road between Water-town and Syracuse is closed.

Y., organizer of the National Federation of Women's Clubs, arrived in the city Wednesday from Massillon, where she was a guest of Miss Frances Riley, president of Hall M. I. school. Mr. Alfred Fox, of the East End, is contemplating matrimony, current rumor has it. He is an exemplary young man and a good catch for the leap year girl of his section of the city. Editor T.

Those who failed to attend the Western Reserve band concert at Bohemia hall, Broadway, last Sunday night, certainly missed a musical treat. Under the leadership of Prof. Hruby, an exceptionally fine program was rendered. Cory chapel was in gala day attire on Sunday, with birds, flowers, sweet singing, good preaching and large crowds at each service. The hearts of the people were made glad on account of the wonderful work accomplished in the past ten months under the leadership of the new pastor, Rev. R. L. Dickerson.

It affords exceptional opportunities for our girls. The silly story of the warfare of Henry Eubanks upon two of the state senate's Afro-American employees, Messrs. Lynch of Youngstown, and Rogers of Xenia, published in a daily newspaper at Cleveland, which is Hanna's local organ, is more rot intended to ridicule Eubanks. The local correspondents of the Cleveland newspapers have had a lot of fun already during this session of the state assembly poking fun at Henry and the governor's porter-messenger. Their attempt to draw the editor of The Gazette into it, was entirely too far-fetched. William N. Alexander, chef for Mr. Calvary Morris, 803 Prospect street, had two young callers on Monday. After serving them with a chicken lunch, and the best there was they relieved him of a dollar bill from one purse, fifteen cents from another and took from his jewel box, nine new pennies, supposing them to be gold dollars. They also carried away in their pockets one-half box of cigars. This was Mr. Alexander's return for feeding hungry loafers. It is said the police are looking for them on a warrant sworn out today. We have many men of excellent character and standing, high school and college graduates, out of employment, or running elevators, doing hotel and janitor work, etc., who would have been glad to accept the clerkship in the adjutant-general's office apparently given John Fulton. Parents, relatives and friends of these young men, what do YOU think of it? Continue to send your protests to the governor. Make them strong! It is not too late even though Fulton's appointment has been announced. The clerkship is open until called on March 1. Be sure to read the Columbus letter elsewhere in this issue of The Gazette. The Columbus correspondents of the Cleveland daily newspapers are certainly having lots of fun—poking it at him—with Henry Eubanks.

Address Frank H. Warren, 1631 Gratiot avenue, Detroit, Mich. At Antioch Baptist church, the pastor, Rev. Dr. Bailey, preached two able sermons on last Sabbath. The mornning discourse, "Sleeping on Guard," was an extremely practical and logical effort. The congregation was large, as usual. In the evening there was an equally large attendance and another fine sermon. Dr. Bailey has been assisting Rev. E. D. Dandridge of Shiloh Baptist church, in his revival services the past two weeks, delivering several characteristically able discourses. The church clubs at Antioch are again active, and the ladies, who are well organized, have been holding some very profitable meetings. The Sunday school, teachers' training class will meet Tuesday evening, and is growing in numbers and interest. "Dude" St. James was found guilty of murder in the second degree by a jury in common pleas court last week Friday afternoon. He was accused of killing Wm. Lawson. St. James and Lawson roomed at 438 Erie street. Sept. 26 they got into a dispute and both were ejected. In a fight following, Lawson was hit with a brick. Before he died, Lawson said St. James ran across the street, secured a brick, returned and struck Lawson. St. James said Lawson attacked him first, and that he, St. James, struck him with the first object that came to his hand when he sought for a weapon of defense. Miss Hicks, 19 years, 512 Quincy street, a member of Unity Household of Ruth, 1375, died last week Friday morning, and was buried Wednesday afternoon. Funeral from Lane Memorial church, the pastor, Rev. J. L. Moody, officiating. Mrs. Henry Brown and Mrs. Jones of Hackman street, presiding officers of the household, conducted the services of that body. The organization paid Miss Hicks' sick dues and funeral benefits, etc., promptly, and gave her splendid attention during her illness. L. J. Morrison, F. D. Day, O. S. White and J. E. Reed were the pall bearers. Unity Household is entitled to great credit for the promptness and considerate care, it did everything in connection with Miss Hicks' sickness and death. It also sent a beautiful and expensive floral piece. According to reports made to the police, the life of Wm. Overstreet, 100 Orange street, was saved last week Friday night by a button picture of a girl which he wore pinned to his breast. Ernest Johnson, a waiter in Wright Miller's restaurant, 438 Erie street, was arrested on a charge of shooting to wound, and Overstreet was held as a witness. Overstreet went into the restaurant to get a meal. He is alleged to have become boisterous. Johnson told him to keep still. Overstreet is said to have continued talking loudly. The police say Johnson then drew a revolver and fired four shots. Three bullets passed through Overstreet's overcoat. The fourth struck the button which he wore over his heart. It glanced off and grazed Overstreet's ribs. A pleasant "stag" was given on Monday evening at Mr. Charles Turner's home, No. 97 Brooker avenue. The following gentlemen were participants: Messrs. Albert Williams, Phil Denny, Joseph Simmons, Robert Hodges, Richard Scott, W. Sisco, E. J. Lucas, Henry Minter and many others. The early evening was spent in card playing, followed by an excellent program given by an orchestra selected by Mr. Turner. A special feature which invoked the applause of all, was a piano recital by Mr. Denny. Among his many selections the two which caused the most comment were "Peasant and Poet," and "William Tell." At midnight a dainty repast was served by Mrs. Turner and thoroughly enjoyed, after which the crowd indulged in toasting and a discussion of the many topics of the day. Some of the most difficult of these were expounded at length by Messrs. Williams, Denny, Lucas and others. The affair closed with the intermezzo from Mascagni's well-known opera, "Cavaleria Rusticana," by Mr. Minter, whose singing proved a most enjoyable surprise.

Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business, Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all trouble and estragrements, unites the servant and the master, and does no challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you: you may rest assured, you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc., with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice uponickness, that business, lawsuits, lawsuits, contested all divorce and sponsorship is valuable and reliable. She reads your deathy—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you: if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUATURE will be written in an honest, clear language, and in a pleasant Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious serpues prevent your consulting. Macmee is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they find it, at the end of the day you never better than them when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success.

"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I can conscientiously recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to those of my sisters suffering with female weakness and the troubles which so often befall women. I suffered for months with general weakness, and felt so weary that I had hard work to keep up. I had shooting pains, and was utterly miserable. In my distress I was advised to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it was a red letter day to me when I took the first dose, for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks I was a changed woman, perfectly well in every respect. I felt so elated and happy that I want all women who suffer to get well as I did."—Miss Guila GANNON, 359 Jones St., Detroit, Mich., Secretary Amateur Art Association. It is clearly shown in this young lady's letter that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will certainly cure the sufferings of women; and when one considers that Miss Gannon's letter is only one of the countless hundreds which we are continually publishing in the newspapers of this country, the great virtue of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine must be admitted by all; and for the absolute cure of all kinds of female ills no substitute can possibly take its place. Women should bear this important fact in mind when they go into a drug store, and be sure not to accept anything that is claimed to be "just as good" as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, for no other medicine for female ills has made so many actual cures. How Another Sufferer Was Cured. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: I cannot praise your wonderful remedies enough, for they have done me more good than all the doctors I have had. For the last eight years and more I suffered with female troubles, was very weak, could not do my housework, also had nervous prostration. Some days I would remain unconscious for a whole day and night. My neighbors thought I could never recover, but, thanks to your medicine, I now feel like a different woman. "I consider your Vegetable Compound the finest remedy made. Thanking you many times for the benefit I received from your medicine, I remain, Yours truly, Mrs: J. H.

SHUNTED into the world unwelcome and unprovided for; nourished grudgingly and meanly; thrown out into the current and strife of human endeavor while still an infant; pushed along under the spur of necessity and compelled to hold his own; a miniature man at 5, a child at 20; gifted with some marvelous heritage from the misty mirrors of the past; unknown, unclaimed, untrained and uncared for—this was the history and antecedents of Robert Melbourne. Where he got his name was a mystery as profound as that of his birth and parentage. Everybody knew him as Rob and it was a tradition that a prodigal Australian "doing" America gave him the surname. Anyway he grew up in the street with no schooling and only the education which comes from the training of necessity, supplemented by the force of his own personality. At 6 he was a nuisance, at 10 a terror, at 12 a leader, at 14 a king. While always a boy of the streets, he showed at all times and places a character and quality smacking of another sphere. A typical street arab, he deliberately broke into a night school—and thrashed the boy who jeered. He worked hard selling papers and blacking boots, but he always read the papers and talked with his boot-blacking patrons. So eventually he got his feet on a higher round of the ladder and started in a new life. He became a lawyer's assistant—to dig up evidence on the street; then a law student; then a full-fledged lawyer. And finally at 25 he found himself fairly well educated, ultra worldly wise and self-confident, a power in city politics, a lawyer of recognized ability and a man of more than ordinary perception and education. This was at 25. At 35 he had made his mark. He was a gentleman of presence and address, a lawyer much sought for and a politician whose knowledge of human nature and the conditions in the great cities was the marvel of the party leaders from New York to San Francisco. Incidentally he was a member of congress and an orator whose clean logic, ready imagination and convincing rhetoric always filled the galleries and drew tardy members to their seats when he held the floor. Never had Robert Melbourne made a more brilliant or convincing speech than the one on the Bracken bill, and when he finished colleagues and opponents alike crowded around him with congratulations. It had been a bold position to take and required courage to defy criticism and censure, as well as ability to sustain his point. His effort accomplished the purpose. Despite the fact that public sentiment was opposed to the bill and party leaders were afraid of it because a corporation was its immediate beneficiary. Melbourne had thrown the great ultimate benefit to the people and the country in contrast with a mere present sentiment so strongly that it stiffened the backbones of the wavering members and the bill had passed immediately after his argument. The bill was for the reclamation of a vast arid territory. It gave extraordinary powers and privileges to a corporation formed for the purpose on condition that a mammoth system of irrigation be established and maintained. A great opposition had developed from two sources. On one hand the natural hostility of the public to grants to private corporations and the inevitable screaming of demagogic politicians and newspapers had aroused a clamor. From another source came a cry that had enlisted a more reputable and intelligent protest. In the plans to reclaim the wilderness it was necessary to wipe out the claims to title of an inconsiderable number of small settlers. These claims to title were very shaky and the value of the property involved was almost nothing. It was necessary to have a clean title to the entire tract and the bill provided clearly for the wiping out of the vague shadows of claims held by the squatters. This aroused a protest which helped out the demagogic anti-corporation wall until the opposition had become so formidable and the talk of "boodle" so great that many members who were really in favor of the bill dared not vote for it. He had assured himself that there were favorable votes enough if the members dared vote. So he had taken the floor at the last moment and met the opposition face to face—granted that a private corporation would be the beneficiary and that hundreds of settlers would be obliged to move on or perfect their title under the new conditions which presumed a tribute to the new company. Then he turned and pictured with master hand the transportation of a wilderness almost uninhabited into a garden spot teeming with life and overflowing with milk and honey—a trackless desert avoided by man and beast changed with an Aladdin's touch to an empire inhabited by happy and prosperous men and women and children and able to feed half the nation. And this Aladdin who was to do this was the new corporation and his lamp the countless thousands of gold dollars to be spent before the dream could be real. He showed the safeguards thrown about the rights of the people and the limitations placed on the company. He referred with scorn and contempt to the howlings of the opportunist demagogues and journalistic sensationalists which he said stood ever and always against every great constructive measure and every fearless step forward. In a single touch he exploded the claims of the settlers and showed that they had no legal title whatever to the land on which they had squatted. He ended with a splendid peroration demanding that courage and honesty govern the votes cast and that the greatest good to the greatest number and the onward progress of the race should not be halted by timidity, sentimentality and demagogy. The speech was a triumph of oratory and of human reason, and Melbourne left the capitol with the plaudits of his fellows and conscious that he had won a tremendous triumph. He entered his office with a feeling of elation such as he seldom had experienced. He always maintained what he termed an "office" in connection with his bachelor apartments. His stenographer was already rattling off the speech on the typewriter. He always had his own stenographer take his speeches, as he liked to see them in cold type just as he made them. It helped him in self-criticism. "They seemed to like the speech, Miss Wilson," he said, laughing in a self-satisfied way. "What did you think of it?" The girl turned her serious face and clear gray eyes toward him, and after a moment's hesitation, replied: "I think it was a very clever and a very eloquent and a very convincing speech, Mr. Melbourne, but I would have had my right hand cut off before I would have delivered it." Melbourne paused in the removal of his gloves, and looked a trifle puzzled and amused. "Why?" he asked. "Surely your clear head has not become tangled by these ranters." "No, it isn't that," she replied, "and I cannot argue it with you, of course. But I was thinking of those poor settlers who have gone out into that wilderness and of all the toll and hardships they have gone through, and now Uncle Sam is to tell them as he told the Indians, 'Move on.' And they must go out and find other bad lands that nobody else wants and start over again and starve and suffer and endure. And they are so much older now and it means the same hard life for the younger generation and the one following that I fear. And the women and children have suffered so much." Her eyes had grown softer and softer as she progressed and they were bright with tears as she stopped, her voice trailing off into something between a whisper and a sob at the last. Melbourne's face was serious and the amused expression had been swallowed up by the puzzled. "What do you know about these people, Miss Wilson?" he asked. "I—I lived among them once," she said as she turned to the machine and began to rattle the keys. Melbourne passed into his inner office, sat down at his desk and went to work at his papers. His face was still serious and every now and then a look of annoyance would steal into it. The months sped by. The Bracken bill became a law and was attacked by an attorney representing the settlers. The irrigation corporation retained Robert Melbourne as chief counsel, assisted by the ablest lawyers in the country. The matter was rushed into the supreme court to ascertain the constitutionality of the provisions of the law that deprived the settlers of their claim to the land they held. Melbourne took a great interest in the case, as it promised to be a famous one, and a victory would give him wide prestige. He worked hard and diligently on the brief and ransacked the law books night and day for precedents. His stenographer wrote and rewrote the various paragraphs over and over again. Once in awhile as he glanced at her grave face and calm eyes a doubt would possess his mind, but he would dismiss it and plunge into the work harder than ever. At last the brief was finished and Melbourne asked Miss Wilson to read it to him. It was a habit of his to have her do this while he sat with closed eyes and tried to pick a vulnerable point. He could not find the suggestion of a flaw in this one. "Well, Miss Wilson," he said, "I call that a work of art. I can't see how they can get away from those propositions, do you?" "No sir, I do not," she replied, "and it certainly is a work of art. But I would rather that my brother, or my father, were in their graves than that they should do that thing—even with all the fame it would bring them." He looked at her intently for a moment, then rose abruptly and went out, saying: "I am going out of town for a few days—maybe two weeks. Put the brief in the safe. I will be back in time to file it." It was fully two weeks before he returned. When he did he asked Miss Wilson to bring him the brief in the Bracken case. It was in the late fall and a fire was burning in the open grate. He glanced the brief through and tossed it into the blaze. The girl started and looked at him in surprise. "I have been out there among those people," he said, regarding her intently. "And I have resigned as counsel in this case. I have learned many things I never dreamed of in the past two weeks. Among them that I need a conscience and a heart to balance what few brains Providence gave me. And I have learned that that conscience and that heart which I need is personified in you. I need you, Miss Wilson—Clara will you help me place my life and my motives on a higher plane?" The world was scarcely less surprised at Robert Melbourne's resignation from the Bracken law case than at his marriage to his stenographer. But Melbourne had many other surprises in store for the world. Mirror-Writing. In a recent case of mirror-writing a boy of seven or eight wrote unusually well, but in this singular reversed style, and some months later, after acquiring the normal method of writing, would return to his original style on becoming fatigued. Dr. C. D. Jones, of Boston, in reporting the case, states that the anomaly seems to be more common in England than in America. In one group of 451 the percentage of mirror-writers was 5.1, but in many reported instances the specimens have proven to be merely those of poor penmanship. Various explanations of the peculiarity have been offered. It seems to be most common with mental disease, but has been observed in persons of normal mental capacity, and one explanation is that it is due to left-handedness and some preponderating influence of the left brain.

Dr. Williamson Swears. Yorktown, Ark., Jan. 18th. Last week a statement was published from Leland Williamson, M. D., of this place, to the effect that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best medicine for all Kidney Diseases and that he uses them with uniform success in his daily practice. No one who knows Dr. Williamson will doubt for a moment the complete truth of his fearless declaration, but to completely clinch the matter in the minds of those who may not have the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with this celebrated physician, Dr. Williamson has appeared before Mr. H. E. Greene, J. P. for Montgomery county, and made a sworn statement. In this sworn statement the doctor has cited a number of cases which have been completely cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Here is case No. 1: "Henry Hall, Sr., age 48, an American, attacked with Malaria Haematuria or Swamp Fever, temperature ranged from 101 to 105, highly coated tongue, constipated bowels, hemorrhage or passage of blood from Kidneys, used febrifuge, and Dodd's Kidney Pills to relieve the inflammation and congested condition of Kidneys and to render the urine bland and non-irritating. Recovery complete after two montns' treatment of the Pills." "They tell me Skinnem is out for all there is in it." "No—his customers are out for all they put in it."—Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune.
