All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. ALL TED PRINTING TRADING COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND. SATURDAY, FEB. 6. 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. Gov. Odell of New York state, and the Tippecanoe club of Cleveland, are alike in that they invite Afro-Americans to their swellest social functions. Good! Gov. Myron T. Herrick is going to get a hard "jolt" as a result of that Fulton appointment, and we are sure our good governor will see the wisdom of promptly revoking it. Those southern students at the Northwestern University, Chicago, ought to go home "in disgust," now that their color-line efforts have been again thwarted, and so publicly, too! Peonage (slavery) seems to be so deeply rooted in the south that every new case when disclosed, seems "to be the worst." The good work of stamping it out goes steadily on, we are glad to note. Cleveland's Afro-American ministers are taking a stand in favor of elevating the moral plane of our people of this community, that cannot be praised too much. More power to them. WHY MYERS WAS BLACK- BALLED. George A. Myers' silly "color-line" wail against the Tippecanoe club, published in the daily papers on Tuesday and Wednesday, is very unfair to our people of this city and district. Myers was black-balled when he made application some years ago for membership in the well-known local political organization, because he had supported a democratic candidate, Congressman Tom L. Johnson, in a fight against a republican candidate—no less a person than our present representative in congress from this district, the Hon. Theodore E. Burton. The Tippecanoe club has three Afro-American members in the persons of Charles W. Chestnutt, esq., Captain Wm. Hare, and "Wappo" Johnson, stenographer for the county republican executive committee, all of whom were present at the recent "McKinley" banquet. There is no sense exhibited nor judgment shown in Myers' "howl." If the Tippecanoe club didn't want any more or other guests than it invited, under the circumstances it did exactly right in not inviting Myers, Howard Dennis and Henry Eubanks, even if the lamented McKinley did let the first named (Myers) shave him in the Hollenden House "tonsorial emporium," and headwaiter Eubanks' escort him to a seat in the dining-room of that well-known hotel. We'll wager a couple of "rahzahs" and a piece of chicken, served "a la Ubanks" that Jere A. Brown and James E. Benson will not endorse Myers' foolish wail; nor will our people of this community. They have had for years very much the same opinion of him that the Tippecanoe club members must now hold. And to think and remember that it was some of the members of this very club who have worked so industriously, incessantly and unsuccessfully, ever since the St. Louis convention which nominated McKinley, to foist the individual (Myers) on Afro-Americans of this community, and compel them to recognize him, as their political "Moses" or leader! The manner in which he repays them does not surprise us in the least, but surely must, them. The "colored republicans" of this community were not "slighted" recently by the Tippecanoe club, the silly wail and foolish howl to the contrary notwithstanding. LIBERTY IS ONLY SAFE SO LONG AS AMERICANS RE SPECT THAT OF ALL Judge Joseph W. Martin, of Little Rock, Ark., advances an opinion which is more statesmanlike than generous when he said: "The colored people of the south are a class of electors even yet new to the privileges of free and equal citizenship. Their former condition requires of us patience and kindness of us, as far as consistent with safety and toleration of their errors and mistakes." The judge expresses a brave and honest truth and one which deserves the indorsement of all fair dealing, and Christian people. Oppressed, proscribed and wronged for so many years of privation and hardships, it would be only a matter of simple justice that they be trained and restored to the condition of equal privileges and opportunity and allowed the right of way in the maintenance of whatever concerns man as man. But Judge Martin recognizes the fact that a very contrary policy is in line of action among some classes of Americans. Americans might well afford to be just toward Afro-Americans. They owe it to themselves and to the Afro-American as well, with whom THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 1904. they have been so long allied in a common cause, to now shield and guard the rights of the colored man on this continent. Afro-Americans are not responsible for the present condition of affairs as we now find them under the government, and it is a libel upon the American name that bad men and sophists should presume to so construe it. Instead of heaping words of censure and reproach upon the poor and unfortunate, who perforce have been made dupes and menials of the nation, there should be extended a willing and generous hand to enable them to do the part of men. The opinion conceived by Judge Martin is the inspiration of a soul imbued with that higher sentiment, that he who would demand justice must himself be just. Nothing in the affairs of men so well comports with the idea of deity himself as that of protecting and shielding the weak and defenseless. The Israelites were not without God's mercy and his guidance, and in all ages of the world they have been the special objects of his goodness and care. The strong and the powerful among nations have been his chosen instruments to guide and control the destiny of a weak and depending people. It is the consummation of high-handed wickedness that the Afro-American should content himself that he is no longer a slave to the white man. Personal freedom does not absolve a brave and just man from doing his duty; and it certainly becomes every true citizen and patriot to come to the rescue, rally all the moral forces of his country to assist in lifting up the poor and the fallen and fit them for the high and honorable service of maintaining the fair name and dignity of a great, a powerful and a growing nation. Verily, the duty of the American government, is to protect with fostering care the rights and privileges of all its citizens. Failure to do so betrays a disloyalty, that comes little short of treason to free government. The Afro-American is here planted upon American soil, and here he will remain as long as the government shall endure. He has enlisted in the struggle for life, elevation and good government, hence he should be allowed to share in the common blessings of his government. This has been the wise decree of all time and in coming years it will be a matter of wonder that Americans had been so tardy in rendering to this race their just dues. Judge Martin pleads a righteous cause and vindicates the claim of humanity the world over. All classes, says the judge, must learn that liberty is only safe so long as they as a body respect the equal liberty of all others of their own race or any other. When the above sentiment shall become the growing spirit of the nation and shall be made the uppermost thought in the mind of the people we shall then stand forth as the proudest and noblest people known among men. Bayer to be Sensor Rayner to be Senator. Annapolis, Md., Feb. 4.—Eighty-nine of the 90 democratic members of the Maryland general assembly met in caucus last night and after parleying for more than three hours, selected Isidor Rayner for United States senator to succeed Senator Louis E. McComas, the present incumbent. At noon today Mr. Rayner, a well known Baltimore lawyer, who achieved an international reputation as the leading counsel for Admiral Schley during the naval court inquiry, will be elected by the members of the general assembly in joint session to the United States senate. The "Thumb" Is Snowbound. Detroit, Feb. 4.—Investigation of conditions in the "Thumb" district of Michigan, that part of the state north of Port Huron to Saginaw Bay, comprising three counties, made over the long distance telephone shows that there are upwards of 100,000 people stormbound in the villages of the district. Tuesday's blizzard appears to have undone the previous work of the railroads in their attempt to open the "thumb" to traffic again. All the towns north from Port Huron to Port Austin and Harbor Beach, except Bad Axe, report alarming shortages of coal. There is no lack of provisions. Boston's Milk Trust. Boston, Feb. 4.—The removal of the milk distributing business from the hands of the contractors in Boston is contemplated by the decision of the New England Milk Producers' association to form a $250,000 corporation which will handle the milk itself and thereby control the market. About 35,000 cans of milk enter Boston by rail every day and the farmers say that with 25,000 cans of this supply pledged to the new company, they practically will have a monopoly of the business. Prohibits Prize Fighting Detroit, Mich., Feb. 4.—Detroit has taken her place in the list of cities in which prize fights are prohibited. Mayor Maybury has sent the following notice to Police Commissioner Powle: "In view of the reports that have come to me bearing reference to occurrences at recent athletic or boxing contests, you will direct your superintendent to suspend all permits for such shows until further notice." A Snow Blockade. Oswego, N. Y., Feb. 4.—The most severe snow storm of the season, with fierce wind, prevailed here Wednesday. A passenger train from Syracuse, due at 1 o'clock Tuesday night arrived at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, having been stalled all night between Phoenix and Fulton. No trains arrived on the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg road and all roads have suspended outgoing trains. One Killed; 28 Injured; Halifax, N. S., Feb. 4. One dead, three fatally and 25 seriously injured is the revised casualty list in the wreck of the Intercolonial express train, five cars of which left the rails at Hunter's Crossing, 40 miles west of this city, yesterday, and plunged down a 30-foot embankment into the Shubenacadie river. Every one of 30 passengers suffered more or less serious injuries, as did the ten members of the train crew. The State Rests. Fulton, Mo., Feb. 4.—In the trial of Col. Edward Butler, charged with bribery, the state rested yesterday after several members of the house of delegates in 1899 had testified. J. Mr. C. L. Lacy Will go on his lecture tour in February and would like to have a few more successful dates between February 14 and March 5th. Any church or organization wishing his services would do well to secure him. "Tis said that Mr. Lacy is a drawing card. The subject, "A Self-Made Man," covers a broad field and is full of pungent facts. There is nothing like it. Write soon for terms and bills of comments. Address, Mr. C. L. Lacy, Nos. 52 and 54 Euclid avenue, Cleveland, O. The Gazette takes pleasure in voluntarily commending Mr. Lacy to its readers. He will be found to be an interesting lecturer and a gentleman. AT CRIPPLE GREEK The Reign of Martial Law Comes to an End - Prisoners in Bull Pen are Turned Over to Civil Authorities. Cripple Creek, Col., Feb. 3.—Gov. Peabody yesterday revoked his order of December 5 last proclaiming martial law in Teller county. Military Commander Verdeckberg issued a proclamation announcing that "peace and good order are being fully restored and it has been shown that the civil authorities are able to control the situation, to perform their legal functions, and to enforce the laws." It is announced that a detachment of the national guard will remain here for a time, but "will act in support of and in subordination to the legally constituted civil authorities." All the prisoners in the bull pen were delivered to the civil authorities yesterday. John M. Glover, former congressman from Missouri, was arraigned in the district court on a charge of having attempted to kill Sergeants Dittemore and Smith on December 29. He pleaded not guilty and was released under a $600 bond. Sherman Parker, a leader of the Western Federation of Miners, who has been repeatedly rearrested by the military after furnishing bonds on the various charges filed against him, was also released on bonds. Parker and several other strike leaders who are still in jail, was charged by the military with having caused the Vindicator mine explosion, by which two men were killed, and with having plotted to wreck a train on the Florence & Cripple Creek railroad. The misdemeanor cases against Adjt. Gen. Sherman M. Bell, Brig. Gen. John Chase, Col. Edward Verdeckberg and Maj. Thomas E. McClelland, charged with false imprisonment, were set for trial on Tuesday next. Telluride, Col., Feb. 3.—In the district court yesterday Judge Stevens refused an application of the exiled miners at Montrose and other places for an injunction restraining the military authorities at Telluride from interfering with their personal liberties, or preventing their return to San Miguel county. It is reported that Gov. Peabody will declare martial law in this district at an end in a day or two. A STRIKE AVERTED. Chicago Paint Makers Ignored Union Officers and Dealt Directly with Employers. Chicago, Feb. 3.—Elimination of business agents and other union officers in deliberations between employer and employee for the readjustment of wages, it is claimed, has averted a general strike and lockout of 1,200 members of the Paint Workers' union in Chicago. Instead of dealing with the labor leaders the proprietors of the paint factories of the city submitted their case to juries of 12 workingmen from each shop. A tentative agreement satisfactory to both sides has been submitted to the Manufacturers' association by the union, based on reports made by the various shop committees. The agreement, with a few minor changes, it is said, will be accepted by the employers, to whom it leaves the "open shop" and the question of settling the wage scale. Ordered to Give an Accounting: Boston, Feb. 4.—The American Bell Telephone Co. is ordered to give an accounting to the Western Union Telegraph Co., the successful plaintiff in a damage suit involving millions against the telephone company, by Judge Colt in the United States circuit court yesterday. Judge Colt appointed Everett W. Burdett to take charge of the accounting. The suit of the Wetsern Union Co. was to recover royalties from the American Bell Co. on certain inventions and the present action is concerning the amount of money to be paid over. Dewey Ranchmen on Trial: Norton, Kan., Feb. 3.—The trial of the three Dewey ranchmen, charged with murdering three members of the Berry family on June 3, 1903, was called Tuesday in the county district court. The case was brought here on a change of venue from St. Francis. The defendants, Chauncey Dewey, W. J. McBride and Clyde Wilson, were delivered by their bondsmen Monday night. Each has had his liberty under a bond of $15,000. The Deweys are millionaires. McBride and Wilson are cowboys. Cannot Act as Administrator. Columbus, O., Feb. 3.—The supreme court yesterday decided that trust companies cannot act as administrators of estates. In the contest of heirs over the estate of the late Mayor Cotton Allen, Judge Galloway named the State Savings Bank and Trust Co. administrator. The supreme court holds the law under which appointment was made to be special legislation and unconstitutional. Conference of Miners and Operators Adjourns. Committee Is Named to Arrange for Another Meeting to Fix Scale - Strike Would be a National Ca-lamity-Miners and Operators Both Prepared for Conflict. Indianapolis, Feb. 4.—The operators and miners were called to meet in joint conference yesterday, that the joint scale committee might report its progress and ask for additional instructions. After the reading of the scale committee's report Mr. F. L. Robbins, the leader of the operators, moved an adjournment and the appointment of a committee composed of one operator and miner from each state to fix the date for the next meeting of the joint conference. The following committee was appointed. Operators—R. N. Taylor, Illinois; J. C. Kolsen, Indiana; J. W. Winder, Ohio; F. L. Robbins, Pennsylvania. Miners—Thomas J. Reynolds, Illinois; George Hargrove, Indiana; W. H. Haskins, Ohio; Patrick Dolan, Pennsylvania. This committee will meet in Indianapolis on February 15 to arrange for another meeting of the joint conference. There was great excitement among the delegates when it was seen that the moment for a declaration of a disagreement had arrived. The scale committee had reported the present wage scale as their ultimatum and the operators insisted that nothing less than the 1902 scale, which is equivalent to a reduction of 12 per cent. in wages would satisfy them President Mitchell seconded the motion for an adjournment. The convention then adjourned. The possibility of a final disagreement and suspension of work is a topic of conversation among the miners and operators. Leaders on both sides refuse to discuss the general effect of a possible suspension of operations on April 1. "All I will say at this time," said W. D. Ryan, secretary-treasurer of the Illinois miners and chairman of the joint scale committee, "is that a suspension in the bituminous fields would be a national calamity and if continued for any length of time would, in comparison of effects, dwarf the anthracite strike into insignificance." It is charged that the Ohio and Pennsylvania operators have 4,000,-000 tons of coal stored at various points. The miners have $1,000,000 in their national treasury. The Illinois miners have $600,000 in their treasury and the other states have at least $400,000, making $2,000,000 of cash available for any emergency. The strike assessment on the paying membership of the organization, which is approximately 300,000 at this time, has just been increased from ten to 25 cents a month, which will bring in approximately $75,000 this month and in March. A suspension of operations in the four states would mean that 117,000 of the membership would go out and after April 1 would not be on the assessment list. A Reply to Gorman's Resolution. Washington, Feb. 4.—The president sent to the senate yesterday a mass of correspondence in response to Senator Gorman's resolution calling for the dates and circumstances under which the United States used military force in the internal affairs of Colombia. The circumstances under which forces are landed are given by the president in detail, but ordered by the war and navy departments concerning the inner workings of such departments are withheld on the grounds that the disclosure of such confidential matters would be incompatible with the public interest. A Combine Breaks. Pittsburg, Feb. 4.—The National Glass Co., of this city, has sent out a letter notifying the trade that hereafter the factories controlled by it will be operated independently. This practically amounts to a dissolution of the tableware combine which was formed a few years ago. It was capitalized at $5,000,000 and at first controlled 21 factories. Some of the parties who originally went into the combination began to break away after a time, however, and start independent concerns, so that at the beginning of 1904 the combination was operating only six plants. Another Bribery Case on Trial. Grand Rapids, Mich., Feb. 4.—A jury was secured yesterday to try Alderman James Mol on the charge of accepting a bribe to aid the Lake Michigan water deal. Lant K. Salsbury testified that he gave Mol $80 to vote for him for re-election as city attorney in the spring of 1901. After the fraudulent checks deposited as a guaranty of good faith by the water deal promoters were exposed in the council, October 22, witness said he paid Mol $250. Is Awarded $5,000 Damages. Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 4.—Mrs. Edith Raiff, of Denver, who sued the Northern Pacific Railroad Co. for $50,000 damages for injuries sustained in 1902, was given a verdict of $5,000 damages by a jury in the United States district court last evening. At the time of the accident the plaintiff was traveling with her daughter, one of the railroad tickets being obtained from a scalper. A Speech from Mr. Bryan: Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 4.—William Jennings Bryan spoke last night by invitation of the Kentucky legislature to a crowd that filled the Capital theatre. The general assembly adjourned and held memorial services in honor of the late Gov. Goebel. Referring to Goebel, Mr. Bryan said his assassination was encompassed by corporate influences that had determined he should never be governor. He said the man who wrote to Goebel that he should never be governor is alive now and his name is mentioned in connection with the chairmanship of the democratic national committee. Convicted of Cruelty: Auburn, Me., Feb. 4.—Rev. F. W. Sandford, head of the Holy Ghost and Us society, the headquarters of which are at Shiloh, was found guilty of cruelty to his 6-year-old son in the supreme court yesterday. Sentence was deferred. The state charged that Sandford, in fulfillment of his religious teachings, compelled his son to fast for 72 hours. The defense offered no evidence. Sandford is also under indictment for manslaughter, the charge growing out of the alleged ill treatment of children in his congregation. ```markdown ``` WHITNEY PASSES AWAY. Ex-Secretary of the Navy Suecumbis to Attack of Peritonitis and Blood Poisoning following an Operation for Appendicitis. New York, Feb. 3.—William Collins Whitney, ex-secretary of the navy, died a few minutes after 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at his home, 871 Fifth avenue. He died while under the influence of ether administered preparatory to a second operation for appendicitis. Mr. Whitney was in his 64th year. He was taken ill Friday night at the performance of Rigoletto at the Metropolitan opera house and had to leave before the opera ended. Dr. James, the Whitney family physician, was summoned and found that the condition of the patient was such that after consultation an operation was decided upon and was performed by Dr. Bull. The patient rallied so well that it was fully believed he would recover. Mr. Whitney's condition was very grave, however, on Sunday and Monday and at a consultation held Tuesday afternoon the conclusion was reached that the only hope for the patient lay in a second operation. Mr. Whitney was placed under the influence of ether, but whether the operation was proceeded with or not is unknown. When the physicians perceived that the patient was in danger of death, Harry Payne Whitney and Miss Dorothy Whitney were notified. They hastened to the side of their father and in a few minutes he had breathed his last. Oxygen was used and all the skill of the physicians and surgeons brought into play to save the life of the distinguished patient, but to no avail. It was 5 o'clock before the fact of his death was made public. Later the following statement was issued: "Mr. Whitney died at 4 o'clock of peritonitis and blood poisoning, following an operation for appendicitis." Mr. Whitney attained his greatest prominence in public affairs while secretary of the navy from 1885 to 1889, during which time he labored ceaselessly and with great success for the upbuilding of a new and formidable navy. Prior to entering Mr. Cleveland's cabinent he was corporation counsel of the city of New York for several years. He was a prominent horseman and his stable of runners had many victories to its credit both in this county and England. He was largely interested in street railways and left a fortune variously estimated at from $20,000,000 to $25,000,000. TWO MEN KILLED. Knoxville, Tenn., was the Scene of a Great Conflagration - Property Loss About $400,000. Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 3.—Fire in the heart of the wholesale district last night caused a loss of $400,000 and cost the lives of two men. The dead are: William A. Maxey, captain of hose wagon company No. 2. John J. Dunn, a former fireman who was assisting at the fire. The fire started in the six-story Phoenix building on Gay street, in the wholesale hat and millinery house of Murphy & Robinson. The firemen were unable to check the flames, which spread both north and south, into the store of Cullen & Newman, wholesale notions, on the north, and into the store of M. L. Ross & Co., on the south. The fire was stopped before it had damaged M. B. Armstein & Co. on the north, except slightly. The First Time in 198 Years Pittsburg, Feb. 3.—Fires have been drawn at the window glass factories of the D. O. Cunningham Glass Co. and Cunninghams & Co., on the South Side, and for the first time in 108 years no window glass will be made in Pittsburg this season unless some arrangement is made between the manufacturers and their workers. The firms mentioned proposed to start on a reduction of about 43 per cent. from the Philadelphia scale and the men refused to consider the proposition. Murderous Jealousy Somerset, Pa., Feb. 3.—Minnie Friedline, a white girl aged 22 years, was shot and killed yesterday by Mrs. Frank Simpson, wife of a negro barber. Miss Friedline was a clerk in the Boswell postoffice and was entering the postoffice when she was met by Mrs. Simpson, who drew a revolver and fired a bullet into the girl's brain. Mrs. Simpson is now in jail. It is alleged that jealousy was the cause of the crime. Shopmen's Pay Is Reduced. Waterville, Me., Feb. 3.—The wage earnings of 350 men employed in all departments of the Maine Central railroad shops in this city have been reduced 10 per cent. by an order making the day of labor nine hours instead of ten as in the past. Officials of the railroad company say the curtailment is in line with similar action taken at other railroad shops. Sharkey Wins a Wrestling Match. Sharkey Wins a Wrestling Match. Boston, Feb. 3.—Tom Sharkey won in the wrestling bout with John Piening before the Criterion Athletic club last night. The match was for a percentage of the receipts and a side wager of $1,000. Piening contracted to throw the sailor three times within an hour. Piening got the first fall in 16 minutes and the second in 34 minutes, but failed to get a third. The Strikers Lo:c Chicago, Feb. 3.—The arbitrators in the strike of the livery drivers announced their decision last night. The result is a renewal of the old contract against which the men struck, with the exception of two items which were eliminated in favor of the owners. These two items are that there shall be no more delegates of the unions posted in the stables, and the liverymen are not bound to have uniforms made by union tailors. The men are to receive $12 a week for a 12-hour day, with 25 cents an hour for overtime, with one day off in each week. A Bank Failure. Clarksburg, W. Va., Feb. 3.—The cause assigned for the failure of the Traders' national bank here yesterday is lack of available assets, but the real reason stated by those supposed to be informed is investments in enterprises of large magnitude, which have so far realized no returns. The bank is the largest in the city, A Doubly Fatal Collision. Chicago, Feb. 3.—In a collision last night between a crowded suburban train on the Chicago Terminal railway and a switch engine, two men were killed and a score slightly hurt.

T. E. Greene is a member of the Case basket ball team. Oscar Solomon and wife have returned to Detroit. Mr. Edward Daw has resigned his position at the Roadside club. Charles Green, of Ashtabula, spent Sunday in Cleveland. Miss Lillian Moore, of Wellington, visited in Cleveland last week. Invitations are out announcing a reception to be tendered the L'Allegro club by Mr. W. D. Alexander. Messrs. Ernest Orsburn and Charles H. French, who were ill the first of the week, are convalescent. Several converts have been baptised at Shiloh church during the recent revivals. Miss Eva Lancaster has been confined to her home in Collinwood for two weeks. It is rumored that J. E. Dunjill and Miss Anna Dawson, of Willoughby, will soon be married. A banquet was given by the Young Ladies' Aid society at Mt. Zion church last Monday evening. The young ladies of the Delsarte club realized quite a sum from their "Dutch Flirtation" drill. A chicken pie dinner will be given at St. John's church Wednesday evening. The "Confetti" dance given at Woodliff hall Monday evening was poorly attended. The De Luzon Whist club will entertain its friends at Woodliff hall Tuesday evening. The L'Allegro club will entertain its friends at the Alta House this evening. Miss Lola Ruffin, who is attending the Women's College at Western Reserve, is said to be making a very fine record in her classes. It was Wesley and not "Weley" Day, who was struck recently and severely injured by a Central avenue street car. "Ted" Green and two other members of his class at Case school were arrested at the Wade Park carnival on the charge of disorderly conduct. Rev. J. S. Jackson, of Mt. Zion church, is endeavoring to organize a literary society among the young people. A good idea. Reliable report justifies us in announcing that neither Thomas Shorts nor Gussie Eubanks will secure the place in Judge Wing's United States court room. A musical club under the leadership of Harry A. Williams has been formed. The club had its first meeting at St. Andrew's church last Monday evening. Mr. J. A. Sterrit, of No. 446 Central avenue, proprietor of the Woodliff Hall pool and billiard parlors, leaves today for a two weeks' visit in New Albany and Indianapolis, Ind. The prize masquerade ball at the Forest Street armory on Tuesday evening proved an enjoyable affair. Bowman's popular orchestra had much to do with this. The Loyal Legion of Labor special meeting at Woodlif hall on Monday evening was not as largely attended as anticipated, doubtless owing to the inclementy of the weather. Messrs. Wm. Riley and Grant Gilmore of Massillon, were again in the city the past week in the interest of Hall Memorial Industrial school, of which Miss Francis A. Riley is president. The new chorister at Mt.Zion church declares that only a few more months are necessary for him to produce the finest choir in the city-at least the finest at any of our churches. Well, he can do it, if he will. The revival at Shiloh Baptist church has been very successful thus far. After four weeks' effort Rev. E. B. Dandridge, the pastor, with the able assistance of Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of Antioch Baptist church, reports nearly fifty converts. Mr. Robert Johnson, formerly of this city, but now of Duluth, Minn., was called to Detroit Saturday by the serious illness of his mother, Mrs. Caroline Johnson, who for years was a resident of this city and a member of Shiloh Baptist church. If you failed to read Rev, E. S. Doan's communication in our last issue, be sure to do so as soon as you can. You cannot afford to loose a reading of it. It had the right ring. A moral awakening is needed in this community. The old wormout false rumor that Wm. Douglass has patented an automatic straw binder, is again being "hawked" about the streets of Cleveland by designing individuals for the consumption particularly of the deluded local "stockholders." Wake up! Rumor has it, that Dan Fairfax, Jc., Carrol Scott, Louis E. Johnson,, Captain Moore and Geo. Scott, are all in the race for the commission clerkship in the adjutant-general's office at Columbus. One of them will be sure to shut out Fulton. Who will it be? It is said that a searching party was sent out last week to locate Dennis Fowler, and found him near Ravenna peeking at the basketball team while at practice, that so roundly walloped the Alta's team some THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1904. week's ago. "Dennis" denies this vehemently, while the searching party refuses to withdraw its statement. Somebody is telling the truth. Mrs. Sadie Cook Jackson, wife of Oliver T. Jackson, of Boulder, Col., died recently in Detroit, after an illness of a few months. Mrs. Jackson was years ago a resident of this city, and is a sister of Miss "Mickie" Cook, a teacher in the public schools of Baltimore. This will be sad news to their hosts of friends in this city. The "Altas" lined up their basket ball team against the scrubs last Saturday evening because of the non-appearance of the Broadway Y. M. C. A. team and defeated them by a score of 13 to 9. After the game two very exciting boxing matches were indulged in. Dan Fairfax vs. Dr. George W. Johnson; Ed Turner vs. "Dode" Green. In both cases the officials declared a draw. Anna Jackson was sent to the workhouse two weeks ago because of a matrimonial tangle. She wrote a letter to Judge Fiedler Thursday asking release. It was so well written that Fiedler sent for her. She said she had been well educated in her Pennsylvania home and Fiedler suspended her sentence. Have you heard that James R. Snyder, of Norman street, has traded his two-year-old trotter for an automobile? Jim's friends claim that this is necessary because he is getting too large to ride an ordinary buggy or even a street car, and because his horse can kick a fly off one's nose and not raise the skin (of the nose). The local True Reformers seem to have distanced all local secret organizations in the matter of material progress as they are getting ready to put up a four-story brick block at a cost of about $10,000, so Dame Rumor has it. Whether this is true or not, the organization in this city, is certainly tending that way. Some of our best people are connected with it. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to attend the De Luzon Whist club's second dancing party at Woodlift hall on Tuesday evening. Also one from Booker T. Washington, principal of the Normal and Industrial Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., to attend the well known Tuskegee annual Negro conference, to be held on the 17th and 18th of this month. The funeral services of Wright H. Miller were held at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Howard of 767 Giddings avenue. Death came suddenly to Mr. Miller on January 27, as a result of heart failure. He had been complaining for more than a year, and had just returned to the city from a visit which he hoped would benefit his health. He leaves a wife, daughter and brother to mourn his demise. Rev. H. C. Bailey and Rev. J. M. Gilmere conducted the services. It is currently rumored that a number of our oldest and best lady residents are drawing up a protest against Fulton's "appointment," which they will sign and send to Columbus next week some time. They are to be complimented, and should be encouraged to carry the fight into the Sabbath schools, securing even the signatures of the children gathered there, thus letting Gov. Herrick, Senator Hanna and Adjutant-General Critchfield know that there are some things that even our people will not tamely submit to. Rev, Dr. W. A. Jackson, a P. E. of the C. M. E. church, held quarterly meeting and services at Lane Memorial church last Saturday evening and Sunday, preaching morning, afternoon and evening of the second day named. His sermon at 2 p. m. Sunday, to the union meeting (of all our churches in Lane Memorial church) was one of the most efforts heard in this city for many years. He and Rev. J. L. Moody, the conscientious pastor, have certainly elevated very materially the standard of Lane church since they took charge. Its chorus-choir is not equaled by any like organization in our churches of the city. Rev. Bennett, of Charlotte, N. C., preached to a large audience at Cory church on Sunday morning. The Sunday school has taken on new life under the supervision of its new superintendent, F. W. Corbin, and the future is bright for it. The classes, representing various states, are each to give an entertainment. Mr. Corbin's gave its on Wednesday evening and it was a grand success. "Tennessee," Charles A. Hunter's class, will give the next. These entertainments are given for the benefit of the stewards. As the conference year is drawing to a close, the "Martha Washington" dinner will be given on the 22d by the "Ohio" class. For several weeks we have published notices in these columns announcing civil service examinations for appointments or rather positions in both the government's and the city's service. Here is an opportunity for our young men and women with a common school education, or better, which ought not to be overlooked. They are continually complaining about their inability to secure places and yet invariably fail to take advantage of such opportunities. There is a demand for stenographers of color which it seems our girls are determined not to meet. Typewriting is taught FREE in the public night schools. Some one has been mean enough to say that there are those who are continually "hunting work," and praying God not to let them find it. How much application this has to Cleveland young men and women of boasted intelligence, the reader can determine. The little "Black Tammany" is grooming Thomas Shorts and Gussie Eubanks for the place in the United States judge's room in the post office building, formerly held by Mr. S. T. Boyd, now a letter carrier, and at present temporarily held by John Fulton. Meyers, it seems, is opposed to young Eubanks, while none of the individual "Tammany" members seem to be for Shorts. The prospects are that neither one of the two will get the place if some of our young men of intelligence, good character and family, who are out of employment, wake up and go after it. One of them will surely get it. Never mind the "Tammany" and its members, as the organization is not worthy of nor entitled to such notice. Its endorsement of Fulton, for a job in the public service as a representative of our people, is explanation enough for any sensible person who wishes to know why no attention should be paid it or its candidates. At a meeting of the Republican Central "League,"better known as the little "Black Tammany," held in Woodliff hall last Monday evening, "a resolution was passed extending a vote of thanks" to Gov. Herrick and Adjutant-General Critchfield, for "appointing" John Fulton to a clerkship in the latter's office. This was only a "jolly," because hardly any one expects Fulton to get the job on March 1st. The opposition is entirely too strong for such an outcome, because it includes a vast majority of the decent, self and race-respecting Afro-Americans of this community, Columbus and elsewhere throughout the state. It is being led by the ministry, mothers and manly fathers, as well as others. The "Tamunany's" leaders are such men as Charles Black of the Z club, Will Clifford, Geo. Meyers, Henry Eubanks, Fulton and Frank Lee. Only a "handful" of members constitute the organization and but few of these were present at the meeting on Monday evening. The "Tammany" is far from being a representative race political organization. Anent the alleged "appointment" of Fulton, we wish to urge our patrons to read Rev. H. C. Bailey's article on our first page today. Also to continue sending protests against Fulton's "appointment" to Gov. M. T. Herrick, Columbus, O.

HARD WORK MAKES STIFF JOINTS RUB WITH MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT GOOD FOR ANY ACHE OR INJURY TO MAN OR BEAST THAT IS CURABLE BY A LINIMENT RUB IT IN HARD A Mrs. Haskell, Worthy Vice Templar, Independent Order Good Templars, of Silver Lake, Mass., tells of her cure by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Four years ago I was nearly dead with inflammation and ulceration. I endured daily untold agony, and life was a burden to me. I had used medicines and washes internally and externally until I made up my mind that there was no relief for me. Calling at the home of a friend, I noticed a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. My friend endorsed it highly, and I decided to give it a trial to see if it would help me. It took patience and perseverance for I was in bad condition, and I used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for nearly five months before I was cured, but what a change, from despair to happiness, from misery to the delightful exhilarating feeling health always brings. I would not change back for a thousand dollars, and your Vegetable Compound is a grand medicine. "I wish every sick woman would try it and be convinced."—Mrs. IDA HASKELL, Silver Lake, Mass.

I had been sick for over 15 years with Kidney Disease, which finally turned into Bright's Disease. I was treated by Doctors in Chicago, but they didn't do me any good. The best Doctor in Estherville treated me for five years with no better success. I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and made up my mind to give them a trial. "I am very thankful to be able to say that they cured me completely, and I think they are the best medicine in the world." The honest, earnest, straightforward experiences of real living men and women are the only material used in advertising Dodd's Kidney Pills. One such testimony is worth more than a thousand unsupported claims. The people who have used Dodd's Kidney Pills are those whose evidence is worth consideration, and surely nothing can be more convincing than a statement like Mr. Barber's. There are thousands of others just as strong. She—"And you don't think there is a chance in the world of our living through our lives without a quarrel!" He—"There is always a fighting chance, dear."—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY. Frauds in Watch Cases. According to an article in the Cincinnati Commercial, a fifty-one pound stone was recently found in that city secreted in a bale of hay of eighty pounds. This is not as bad as finding a lump of lead of nearly one-half the weight of the solid gold watch case secreted in the center of the case. Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and no one can see where this lead is secreted until the springs of the case are taken out and the lead will be found secreted behind them. These cases are made by companies who profess to be honest but furnish the means to the dishonest to rob the public. It is not pleasant for anyone to find that he has lugged a lump of lead in his watch case. Another trick the makers of spurious solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case "U. S. Assay." The United States does not stamp any article made out of gold and silver except coin, and the fakir, by using this stamp, wants to make the public believe that the government had something to do with the stamping or guaranteeing the fineness of watch cases. Another trick of the watch fakir is to advertise a watch described as a solid gold filled watch with a twenty or twenty-five-year guarantee. These watches are generally sent C. O. D., and if the purchaser has paid for the watch, he finds that the Company which guaranteed the watch to wear is not in existence. The Dueber-Hampden Watch Company of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly exposing these frauds, will furnish the names of the manufacturers who are in this questionable business.

Information of Recent Date Collected in Various Ways and Condensed for the Convenience of Our Busy Readers. CONGRESSIONAL.

In a fight at Wilton, a Kentucky mining town, Deputy Matthew Helton shot and killed David and Thomas Fletcher and fatally wounded a man named Brock. The trouble was over serving a writ. Helton has not been found. Gov. William J. Bailey, of Kansas, has issued a statement withdrawing from the gubernatorial race. He stepped out, he says, because "it is apparent that the bitter factional fight now going on in the republican party in Kansas is a menace to republican success." One man, F. O. Wells, a switchman, was killed, another probably fatally injured and several others severely cut and bruised in a head-on collision in the train shed of the Union passenger station at Chicago.

Twenty-five firemen in all were overcome. The bodies of between 20 and 30 men who perished from thirst while attempting to cross the desert between Moapa and Los Vegas, Nevada, have been found within a few weeks, according to advices received from the latter place. The men, it is believed, were mostly tramps who attempted to make the journey on foot without sufficient supply of food and water to carry them across. Theodore Peteroff, the dog-faced man, known by the sobriquet of "JoJo," exhibited in most countries of the world, is dead at Salonica, Turkey.

Y., lawyer, has pleaded guilty to an indictment charging grad larceny in the first degree in having taken bonds valued at $20,000, which were held in trust for Emil and Edith Kainer, minor children of the late Otto Kainer, an importer. After complaint had been entered Fragner married an older sister of the Kainer children and a settlement out of court was sought, but prevented by the district attorney. News is received of the burning of the prison at Dawson Springs, Ky. A prisoner who was confined on a minor charge was burned to death. Two suits have been filed in the circuit court at St. Louis by Henry Nicolaus, a St. Louis' capitalist, to secure the return of the $135,000 fund that has been held for some time by Circuit Attorney Folk as evidence against certain members of the St. Louis municipal assembly, who were charged with boodling in connection with franchise legislation desired by the Suburban Electric Street Railway Co.

The two-story log cabin which will be Maine's building at the St. Louis exposition has been started for the Missouri city on 11 flat cars. It was built in sections at Portage, Me., and the 20 men who constructed it and took it apart for shipment will meet it at St. Louis and put the parts together there. The cabin is 140 feet long, 50 feet wide and has 11 rooms on the ground floor and ten in the second story. In their efforts to stamp out the usurious money lenders doing business in New York City, representatives of the district attorney's office have held a meeting with the judges of the court of special sessions at which it was agreed that hereafter persons found guilty of violating the law shall be sent to the penitentiary for one year. The statutes provide this sentence or a $500 fine.

Several firemen were hurt during the fire. After a two weeks' inquiry by the New York City health department into rumors that a trust had been formed to handle anti-toxin, Health Commissioner Darlington has reached the conclusion that there is such a combination and offers to sell such surplus of the remedy as the department may have on hand to the Chicago department of health, and such other cities as may need it.

He was a business partner of the late United States Senator Jerome Chaffee and one of the foremost mining superintendents in the west. Lemoine Mott, the wealthy flour miller, of Des Moines, Ia., whose nephew, L. H. Mott, is under sentence to be hanged at Missoula, Mont., March 18 for wife murder, has gone to Montana with the avowed intention of spending a fortune in an effort to save his nephew's neck.

I recommend Peruna to all sufferers, and am most grateful to you for your valuable medicine."—Miss Rose Gordon. Washington, D.C., 600 H street, N. W. Dear Dr. Hartman—"I used to think that the doctors knew all about our aches and pains and were the proper ones to consult when sick, but since I have been slick myself I certainly had good reason to change my mind. During the winter I caught a heavy cold, which developed into catarrh of the bronchial tubes and an inflamed condition of the respiratory organs. The doctors were afraid that pneumonia would set in and prescribed pills, powders and packs until I sickened of the whole thing, as I did not improve. One of the ladies in the home had a bottle of Peruna and she advised me to try that. Shortly after I began using it I felt that I had found the right medicine. I used two bottles and they restored me easily and pleasantly to perfect health. While my "A man's enemies seldom kick him when he's down," remarked the moralizer.

There is no fact of medical science better established than that a teaspoonful of Peruna before each meal during the winter season will absolutely protect a person from catching cold. Now, if this is true (and there is no doubt of it), thousands of lives would be saved, and tens of thousands of cases of chronic catarrh prevented, by this simple precaution within reach of every one. After a cold has been contracted a teaspoonful of Peruna every hour will shortly cure it, leaving no trace of it behind. After chronic catarrh has become established, or the first stages of chronic bronchitis or consumption have been reached, it will take much longer to effect a cure.

H., writes: "I had terrible headaches, both ear run and I was nervous all the time, also had trouble each month; was deaf in one ear for thirty years. I took six bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin and am happy to say that it is the best medicine that I ever used. I am not so nervous, my appetite is good, everything I eat agrees with me, and I am feeling better in every way. I think Peruna is a Godsend to women and a blessing to suffering humanity."—Mary E. Sampson. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
