All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. ALLURE PRINTING TRADE'S COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND. SATURDAY, FEB. 13, 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. Congress should enact into law the Morrell bill which forbids discrimination on railway trains and public carriers, even if such an act is apparently duplicated in the interstate commerce laws. --- That alleged republican majority in the United States senate, is entirely too slow confirming the president's appointment of Dr. W. D. Crum, as collector at Charleston, S. C. Wonder if it wants to injure the president's chances for election this fall? Gov. Vardaman, of Mississippi, is but a second edition of Senator Ben Tillman. His stock in the notoriety trade is abuse of the Afro-American, and he, too, is a stench in our nostrils and those of all other fair and broad-minded citizens of this country. The president has sent to the senate the name of Elizabeth Bampfield, "colored," as postmistress at Beaufort, S. C., in the face of a "howl" raised by prejudiced whites of that section. Mrs. Bampfield succeeded her husband (deceased) and sought the reappointment she has been given. Rah! for Roosevelt! The disfranchisement bill in the Kentucky legislature, has been practically killed on a close vote. Good! There is, however, one pending to prohibit the coeducation of the races. Berea college is the only institution in the state such a law would effect, and it was started with the idea principally of reaching our people. Bishops of the A. M. E. church recently chartered a sleeping car to a point in Alabama. They were interstate passengers and like all such of the race discriminated against as a result of the recent conclusion of southern agents of sleeping car companies, at the instigation of the governor of Tennessee, to draw the color line, should invoke the aid of the interstate commerce laws and commission to the end that they may enjoy citizens' rights as interstate passengers these laws guarantee. That is the proper way to go about settling the question and our newspapers should urge it upon our people just as quickly as possible. The writer's teacher, Miss Ellen G. Reveley, principal of Sterling school, when he was a boy, writes that she favors the school code drawn by the Chamber of Commerce. For the sake of the pupils, the teachers and the principals of Cleveland, she hoped that the public schools will not be subjected to the domination of politicians. She says the schools as now conducted favor no race, and no condition in life. Every foreign child and every child, however poor, has an equal chance with the most favored child of fortune in the common schools, and she is right. We agree, heartily, with her in all she says, and trust Cleveland's school code will be enacted into law at Columbus, regardless of political combinations, desires or anything else of the kind. CRIMINAL WRATH. Never a day passes, but that Afro-Americans are made victims to the most merciless persecution and slander by the southern press. Bad men vie with each other in venting their bitterest spleen, and, pouring out vials of wrath against a poor and defenseless people. That which is aggaving beyond extremes is that these attacks are without provocation and are prompted through a morbid propensity of an evil mind. Men nurse their worst passions and use the press in the propogation of falsehood and slander. Trained under influences so hurtful to the entire social system, we need not wonder that the education thus inculcated tends only to degrade the masses and fit them for deeds unworthy a great and magnanimous people. As residents of a common government, and devoted to a common interest, it becomes indeed a strange anomaly that Christian Americans can with undisturbed complacency resort to a practice which in itself is at once barbarous and revolting. It is criminal in the extreme that any educated class should claim license for an indulgence so dangerous to the public welfare. In the first place, these utterances are false and cannot avail in the least to the assailed, or to the assailant. A recent issue of the Nashville American reveals the extent of that depravity which animates and governs the heart in its desperation against the poor of God's humanity. Why all this demonism and hellish roar is more than good men can account for. Gov. Vardaman, of Mississippi, in his THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1904. message strikes the race in vengeful and pitiless wrath with little or no regard for the main issues which so much involve the best interest of the state. With pen dipped in gall he heaps anathemas upon Afro-Americans and consigns them to hopelessness and a living grave. To secure his election to the gubernatorial chair of Mississippi, he sought and found the food best suited to the taste and passions of Mississippi. He favors the abolition of Afro-American schools and not content in disseminating idea so ruinous and without bias, he reiterates his views in sullen rage of what he so much demands in aid of the complete suppression and degradation of Afro-American manhood. Nothing more humiliating, and nothing more cowardly in the character of the white race has ever before appeared in public print than the miserable tirade of abuse as is given from the pen of Gov. Vardaman. It seems wholly consistent with the highest duty that Christian nations the world over should seek to make their contact with the weaker peoples of the earth beneficent and kind and not destructive. For if there is one thing more than another, and one upon which all good citizens should be agreed, it is that a universal demand should be made for vigorous suppression of all influences which tend to weaken and destroy the moral forces of human governments. It is a monstrous thought to entertain that no man is honest, when all share in the common work of assailing a brother man on account of racial differences. It is monstrous to find that a civilized and Christian people can give themselves as the devil's cats' paw to strike down an innocent people for no other reason save that of the color of the skin. But the time must surely come when those who share in such a feeling will yet be ranked with public criminals. The world has already recorded such an eventuation and one from which we devoutly hope our country may be saved. Concerning the recent appointment of a successor to Mrs. Minnie B. Cox, the Afro-American, who was driven many months ago by threats from the position as postmistress of Indianola, Miss., the following statement was recently issued at the White House: "The president has sent to the senate the nomination of William B. Martin to be postmaster at Indianola. The term of the postmaster has expired, and she positively refuses to accept a reappointment, under any consideration, and made the request for the appointment of Mr. Martin, one of her bondsmen and stanch friends throughout the whole trouble, and who had done everything in his power to oppose and prevent the lawlessness. A report was made by the postoffice inspector who had originally investigated the whole affair, and on his advice and in view of the positive refusal of the postmaster to accept a reappointment under any consideration, the president appointed Mr. W. B. Martin." The president, we presume, punished the town sufficiently for permitting Mrs. Cox to be driven from her post of duty, and doubtless has done the best he could under the circumstances in this appointment of Mr. Martin, who remained her friend throughout. The same influences that compelled Mrs. Cox to refuse reappointment, would keep any other Afro-American of that community from accepting the place. Therefore there was nothing else to be done, and it was time something should be done. THE MARCH DELINEATOR. In the March Delineator exquisite spring styles and illustrated articles on topics of fashion are supplemented by literary features of uncommon interest and value. In fiction there is a delicate romance by Richard Le Gallienne, The Shadow of the Rose, containing exquisite lyrics, with decorations by Celeste S. Griswoll, and a weird Hawaiian love tale by Ethel Watts Mumford, The Son of a Shark God, illustrated by C. E.

Address Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., 76 Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Ill. Diplomatic Relations Between Russia and Japan Severed. Cable Connecting Korea and Japan Has Been Cut-Large Body of Cossacks are in Vicinity of Yalu River to Protect Port Arthur Railroad. St. Petersburg, Feb. 8.—Although the fear was general here on Saturday that the presentation of the Russian note to Japan might be followed by an act on the part of the Japanese government which would plunge the two countries into war, the startling action of Japan in severing diplomatic relations with Russia before the actual delivery of the Russian note, came like a bolt from a clear sky. Upon the disclosure of Japan's position the Russian authorities met the situation with great promptness. Instructions recalling Baron De Rosen were forthwith telegraphed, and he was directed to leave Tokio immediately. When Count Lamsdorff informed M. Kurino on Thursday night that the response had gone to Viceroy Alexieff, he did not give him a copy of it, but it is understood that he made known, in a general way, the Russian position. Russia, while making concessions, declined to yield on the four following points: First, Japan's right to ask for a treaty covering the sovereignty of Manchuria. Second, she insisted upon mutual recognition of the independence of Korea. Third, that there should be no fortification of Southern Korea which might threaten Russian communication with Port Arthur and Vladivostock. Fourth, she declined to meet Japan's wishes with regard to a neutral zone on both sides of the Yalu river. In a dispatch dated Nagasaki, February 6 and which was delayed by the censor, a correspondent of the Daily Telegraph asserts that Russia deliberately precipitated the crisis by secretly dispatching a few days ago from Port Arthur transports loaded with a full division of troops and escorted by a fleet and landing them near the Yalu river, thus occupying northern Korea. Japanese patience became exhausted, and yesterday Japan moved her ships and took unresisted possession of certain merchant vessels, including the Shilka and Manchuria, the correspondent continues. "Two other Russian vessels were seized and escorted to Sasebo, Japan." The Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail says that France has agreed with other powers to land troops in China directly hostilities begin, in order to insure the neutrality of the Middle Kingdom. THE FIRST BATTLE Japanese Fleet attacked the Russian Warships at Port Arthur and Sank One of Their Cruisers and Two Battleships - They Also Fired on the Forts. Che Foo, Feb. 10.—The steamer Columbia has arrived from Port Arthur with news of the attack by the Japanese fleet upon the Russian fleet in the roads outside of the harbor of Port Arthur. The Columbia was in the roads at the time and felt the first shock of a torpedo explosion at 11 o'clock on Monday night. The attack continued all night and at daylight Tuesday morning two Russian battleships and one first class Russian cruiser were seen to have been disabled and beached at the entrance of the harbor. The cruiser was badly listed to one side. In the morning the Russian forts opened fire on the Japanese fleet, which was about three miles distant. The Japanese vessels returned the fire, hitting several of the Russian ships, but doing little damage. The Russian cruisers then went out, and the Japanese vessels disappeared. A member of the crew of the Columbia tells this story of the naval battle at Port Arthur: "The Columbia was lying in the roadstead, surrounded by 14 Russian battleships and cruisers. At 11:30 o'clock Monday night a severe shock was felt on board the Columbia. The Russians immediately commenced to operate their searchlights and opened fire towards the sea. The firing lasted only a short time. At 1 o'clock more shocks were felt and the Russians again commenced firing. "The Japanese did not return the fire. At 2 o'clock two Russian battleships went in and were beached across the entrance of the harbor. They were-soon followed by a Russian cruiser, which also was beached. None of the vessels were damaged above the water line. More shocks from torpedos were felt during the early morning and then all was quiet. "At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning three Japanese cruisers passed Port Arthur in eight of the Russian fleet. The whole Russian fleet immediately weighed anchor and went after them, but returned in half an hour." The two battleships disabled are the Poltava and the Czarevitch. The disabled armored cruiser Boyarin and the grounded battleships block the entrance to the harbor, preventing gunboats from going out and battleships and cruisers from going in and getting coal. Besides this Japan has the Russian gunboats Variag and A Wreck that Cost 20 Lives. Managua, Nicaragua, Feb. 9.—A passenger train on the Chinandiga Vieja railroad was derailed and wrecked on February 2 while passing over a high bridge. More than 20 passengers were killed and many others were injured. Henry W. Oliver Pics. Pittsburg, Feb. 9.—Henry W. Oliver, the millionaire steel magnate, died Monday. He had been prominent in business, social and political circles for years. A lifelong republican, an active party worker, he had accepted no office. Orders 4,000 Men to Strike Pittsburg, Feb. 9.—Thomas R. Rowe, president of the American Flint Glass Workers' union, sent out telegrams yesterday ordering on strike all workmen employed in factories controlled by the National Glass Co. The order affects about 4,000 workmen, one-fourth of which are skilled. Scalpers are Enjoined. New Orleans, Feb. 9. - Judge Parlange in the federal court Monday enjoined the local ticket scalpers from dealing in the non-transferrable Mardi Gras tickets. were bound for Vladivostock. The action of the Japanese in attacking the Russian fleet without a declaration of war is denounced as an outrage by the Russians generally and the result, instead of discouraging them, seems to have been to furnish the spark necessary to fire Russian patriotism. From the larger centers throughout European Russia comes information that the country is already aroused by the Japanese action in breaking off negotiations. United States Ambassador McCormick was notified yesterday that Russia had no objection to the United States looking after Japanese interests in Russia. Mr. McCormick's principal duties will be to protect the few Japanese subjects who reside in European Russia. Pekin, Feb. 10.—About 1,000 Japanese troops disembarked at Chemulpo, Korea, on Monday, notwithstanding the presence there of two Russian warships. In a dispatch from Tien Tsin dated February 9, a correspondent of the Daily Mail says it is reported there that the Russian cruisers Variag and Korietz hauled down their flags without firing a shot, and that 8,000 Japanese immediately landed at Chemulpo and the march to Seoul commenced. Rome, Feb. 10.—Official advices received here from Tokio say that four battalions of Japanese infantry have landed in Korea near Seoul. Paris, Feb. 10.—A great wave of popular sympathy for Russia was brought out by the news of the engagement at Port Arthur. The newspapers without exception severely arraigned Japan. The Temps, semi-official, said: "Japan's brutality in making a night attack before a declaration of war is her second offense against the rules of international law." JAPS SIEZE A TOWN. They Also Capture a Cruiser, Three Russian Transports and a Number of Commercial Steamers. Tokio, Feb. 11. Japan seized Masampho on Sunday and dispatched a heavy force there. Japan will fortify the port and establish a naval and military base there. Masampho is an exceedingly important point, as it controls the Korean channel and is an excellent base for future operations. The Japanese have captured at least five Russian commercial steamers, including the Ekalerintoslay, Moukden, Russia, Argun and Alexander. They were captured by the Japanese in Korean and adjacent waters at various times since Saturday by small cruisers. Some of the steamers are rich prizes. The small steamer Koeik is detained at Yokohama, its status not being clear. A formal declaration of war is expected tonight. The proclamation has been prepared and approved by the cabinet. Foreign Minister Komura has gone to the palace to secure the emperor's approval. London, Feb. 11.—Dispatches to the Daily Mail from Tokio and Nagasaki, dated February 10, report the arrival at Sasebo, Japan, of two large Russian steamers. One is the volunteer fleet transport Ekaterinoslav, which recently landed troops and arms at Port Arthur, and the other is the steamer Argun, belonging to the Chinese eastern squadron. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that M. Kurina, the retiring Japanese minister to Russia, and his staff have left there for Berlin. There was no hostile demonstration. The dispatch adds that an imperial ukase has been issued which authorizes the mobilization of the reserves. Special dispatches received here this morning announce the arrivals of Japanese soldiers at Seoul. The Tien Tsin correspondent of the Times reports that the Russians have massacred 100 Chinese at Lion Tung, in consequence of which the officials at Shan Hai-Kwan are greatly alarmed and are appealing to Pekin for protection. The correspondet of the Daily Mail at Tien Tsin says that Li, the favorite court official of the Dowager Empress, has been decoyed away and beheaded by order of Yuan Shi Kai, commander of the Chinese army and navy. Li was pro-Russian in his feelings. San Francisco, Feb. 11.—A cablegram from Nagasaki states that the Russian cruiser Variag, which was reported to have been sunk Tuesday at Chemulpo by the Japanese fleet, was captured and has arrived at Sasebo. The dispatch also states that in addition to the Russian vessels damaged in the topedo attack at Port Arthur, seven other vessels were captured. It is also reported at Nagasaki that Gen. Kuropatkin has arrived at Harbin to take command of the Russian land forces. A dispatch from Tokyo says the Japanese have captured three Russian transports having on board about 2,000 troops. St. Petersburg, Feb. 11.—The Russ claims to have authority for saying that the two new Japanese warships (the Nisshin and Kasuga) were saved from certain capture by the Russian squadron bound for the far east under Admiral Wirenius by the commander of a British battleship placing his vessel across the Suez canal and hoisting a signal of distress, thus delaying the Russians two days. The anti-British feeling here is bitter. The city is placarded with the imperial manifesto declaring war. To Preserve China's Independence. Washington, Feb. 10.—Secretary Hay' has addressed a note to a number of European powers to ascertain if they are willing to join in a notice to Russia and Japan that during hostilities and thereafter the neutrality and integrity of China must be recognized. It is further learned that the proposition of the United States contemplates a restriction of hostilities to the smallest possible area. Just what this means is not made clear to the public but the determination may have great effect upon the struggle between Russia and Japan. Neither one can invade China. A Doubly Fatal Duel. St. Louis, Feb. 10.—During a gambling quarrel "Jim" Ray, one of the best known figures in the local sporting world, a leading negro politician and reputed to have been the wealthiest negro in St. Louis, was shot and killed yesterday in a pistol battle in which 30 shots were fired at the Falstaff club, a saloon.

The Alpha Literary society held its regular meeting at Mr. Geo. Early's last Friday evening. An interesting program was rendered, after which luncheon was served. Mrs. Lulu Son, wife of Charles Son, a prominent East End Italian, died the past week, leaving beside her husband, three sons. She was a member of the race and 42 years of age. It is said that the fact that City Clerk Peter Witt was going to send an Afro-American to the Hollenden House barber shop, was "tipped off" to Myers. This doubtless accounts for the result. Do not fail to read our local Ministers' Union's petition to the governor anent the Fulton appointment; their resolutions, and Rev. R. L. Dickerson's splendid communication—all on page 1 of The Gazette today. Wm. Douglass of the alleged Douglass Straw Binder invention, was expected in the city, Monday evening, to attend a meeting in Woodliff block. Wonder if it was another "assessment" or another "jolly?" John J. Brown has been made head tallyman at the "Big 4" freight house. This is a deserved promotion for Mr. Brown, who has been faithful during his long service with the "Big 4." The Home of the Holy Family, No. 645 Woodlad Hills avenue, has a bright little girl seven years old, for which it desires a good home among our people. Here is an excellent opportunity for some one.

Sked St. the first game of a series for the city championship last Friday evening, against the "Hustlers" at the Goodrich House gymnasium. Eubanks' and Myers' "howl" because they did not get invitations to the Tippecanoe club's "McKinley" banquet, grows more ridiculous each succeeding day. The weak attempt to make it appear that "the colored republicans felt slighted" because they were not asked to attend, while other members of the race were, some of whom attended, fell flat. It is indeed a fiasco of the weakest sort. Mr. James Starkey had sufficiently recovered from his recent severe sick spell to call at The Gazette office on Wednesday. He says he was one of a number of local Afro-Americans who received invitations to the Tippeanoe club's recent "McKinley" banquet. It will be remembered that Messrs. Myers and Eubanks did not get "invites" and as a result "hollered" lustily, long, and loud, about a "color line" being drawn, when nothing of the kind was done or even thought of. BARBER WANTED.—A first class young barber with not less than two years experience, of good habits and neat appearance, who will follow instructions and apply himself to the art of pleasing patrons; one who wants a steady position and is capable of running the shop for two or three months at a time. To such a barber I will pay a minimum guarantee of $10 per week with the privilege of earning as much more as he is capable of. Rooms may be obtained in some of the best families in Detroit. Address Frank H. Warren, 1631 Gratiot avenue, Detroit, Mich. Morris, the bright little son of Mr. and Mrs. Gus. Cowdry, of Hackman street, an attendant upon the public schools, gets out a very creditable little weekly paper for his classmates and friends in which there are exceptional evidences of budding literary ability, energy, and good taste. A daily paper gave Morris' portrait and quite a write-up, last Sunday. The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from William N. Alexander, to attend the reception tendered the L'Allegro club in honor of his birthday on Wednesday evening, from 7 to 11 p. m., at the Alta house, Mayfield road. There was dancing and a spread such as few men beside Mr. Alexander know how to get up. He is a chef of exceptional ability and is in the employ of the wealthiest men all the time. W. N. Alexander's entertainment of friends at the Alta House, Wednesday evening, in honor of his birthday, proved the grandest social event of many seasons. The reception and dining rooms were draped in pink and white. Palms and lilies served to give the rooms an elegant appearance. About 150 guests were present, among whom were many wealthy white friends of Mr. Alexander. He and his nephew, Dennis Fowler, received the guests. A very elaborate banquet was served under his personal supervision. As Mr. Alexander is a chef, and one of the very best in the country, it can be easily imagined what this feature of his social entertainment was. The ladies present were beautifully gowned, while the gentlemen wore the conventional evening dress. It was decidedly the most elaborate social function given in years among our people of the city. Although reported better as we went to press last week, Mr. Charles H. French died early last Saturday morning at Huron Street hospital, where he had been since the Monday morning previous, suffering with typhoid fever. He returned to the city last fall to engage in business, from the east, where he had resided for years. He had a host of warm friends who were greatly shocked to learn of his demise. He leaves a wife, brother, and other relatives by marriage, a mother and sisters in Pennsylvania, and sisters in Alaska and British Columbia. Funeral, Monday afternoon, from Mr. and Mrs. Albert French's home, No. 19 Mayflower street, Rev. J. S. Jackson officiating. Mr. French's mother has been critically ill for months and therefore could not come to the city. His two sisters and other Pennsylvania relatives were present at the funeral. All have the sympathy of the community. Rev. Rutledge (white) is being severely criticized by our clergymen for using the old uneducated Negro's dialect in the city ministers' conference at the Y. M. C. A. building last Monday, and attributing it to Representative Eubanks. He quoted the latter, as saying (so one of our pastors who heard him, writes us): "Ise gwine to vote fo' de ward local opson bill, because my muddah told me to do right." "If Mr. Eubanks used such language," says our informant, "he is unfit to represent the people of this county, and it is a reflection upon the people who elected him. And if he did not, it was un-Christian-like for a minister of the gospel, to misrepresent him thus. We will never believe Mr. Eubanks used such language. If he is not educated after the manner of the schools, his association with educated people has taught him better. Ministers should never exaggerate even to carry their point." Important. If True. London, Feb. 10.—A dispatch from Tien Tsin says: "A French transport with a battalion of troops from Tonquin is hourly expected at Shan-Hai-Kwang', (in the Gulf of Liao-Tung) to garrison the forts which are being vacated by the Russians. It is reported that the tricolor of France was hoisted there Tuesday and that the British officer in charge at Shan-Hai-Kwang protested against the French occupation." A Brilliant Social Affairs. Some of Cleveland's social set were carried to a very dizzy height last Monday evening by Mrs. Mary F. Gallagher, who held a reception at residence of Mr. Henry L. Cross, No. 45 Hilburn avenue, where she lives. Members of the Cross family mingled with the guests and participated in the games, and the charming Miss Cross furnished each person with hand-painted place-cards, besides rendering a number of lovely musical selections. Some twenty covers were spread, and the rattling of silver and the ringing of china echoed through the halls and drawing-room, while the perfectly lovely host and hostess assisted in the enjoyment of a delicious repast. Mrs. Gallagher's reception has certainly eclipsed any previous social function in recent years, and the departing guests merrily proclaimed their delight and bewilderment in the words: "Perfectly charming!" And all because the affair proves that there are yet to be found some right-hearted white people, who fully and properly appreciate Afro-American men and women. Correspondents Wanted.

A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor, which baffled the skill of Boston doctors. Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in the following letter tells how she was cured, after everything else failed, by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. Hayes' First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Pinkham for Help: "DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM: —I have been under Boston doctors' treatment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My abdomen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My appetite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time. "The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book accurately describe my case, so I write to you for advice."—(Signed) Mrs. E. F. HAYES, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham's advice—although she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take her medicine—which she knew would help her—her letter contained a mass of additional instructions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring about the happy result. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: —Sometime ago I wrote to you describing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman. "The use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound entirely expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk miles now." "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth five dollars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial."—(Signed) Mrs. E. F. HAYES, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony—or take the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes. Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and displacements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation. Surely the volume and character of the testimonial letters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt. Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness. Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too great for her to take in return for her health and happiness. Truly is it said that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that is curing so many women, and no other medicine; don't forget this when some druggist wants to sell you something else. $5000 FORFEIT if we cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures of above testimonials, which will prove their absolute genuineness.

CONSUMPTION SWEPT BY FLAMES. Baltimore's Business Section Is Reduced to Ashes. The Fire Lasted 28 Hours and the Loss Will Far Exceed $100,000, 000 - Seventy-five Squares of Buildings Were Burned Up - No Lives Lost. Baltimore, Feb. 8.—A fire that broke out a few minutes before 11 o'clock Sunday morning in the wholesale dry goods house of John E. Hurst & Co., has raged with unrestrained fury continuously ever since, and at midnight it was unchecked and was steadily eating its way eastward on Baltimore street, after having destroyed all of the large stores and warehouses in the wholesale district around Hopkins place and all the buildings on both sides of Baltimore street from Howard to Holliday streets, from Charles and Baltimore to Charles and Lexington, and on Payette street from Charles to Holliday, including a total of about 20 blocks of the most modern and substantial buildings in Baltimore, involving a loss which cannot now be estimated. Though every blt of fire fighting apparatus in the city was called into requisition, as the flames continued to spread the firemen realized that they had a task before them which was too great for them to combat. Telegrams for fire engines were sent to Washington and Philadelphia and about 1 o'clock six engines arrived from Washington and four from Philadelphia and joined in the battle with the flames. Baltimore, Feb. 9.—Baltimore is staggering under a fire loss which no one has the temerity to put in figures. The commercial district is blackened ruins, laid bare by a conflagration which raged without a momentary check from 10:45 a. m. Sunday until late Monday afternoon. At 3 o'clock it was agreed that the flames were under control. They had raged 28 hours, in spite of almost superhuman efforts put forth by the best fighting forces which more than half a dozen cities were able to muster. The city is overcast with gloom. The only lights in the burned district are those from the smoldering ruins. The only lights in that section which escaped destruction are from corner gas lamps. The stores are closed in nearly every street. The darkened avenues are full of jostling people talking of one subject. Apparently there is but one cause for gladness and that is that there are no homeless. The residence section of the city escaped. At 2 p.m. the Associated Press sent out a bulletin saying the flames would be held in check at the Union docks and prevented from leaping Jones Falls and placing the entire city east of there in jeopardy. At 3 o'clock that bulletin was confirmed. Insurance companies have opened temporary offices in the Lexington hotel, but their representatives decline to estimate the loss. The answer of one is typical of all: "Itso too big. We have not figures to describe it. Make it above $100,000,000. That's the best we can do." The same indecision was true in regard to estimates concerning insurance. The city was early placed under martial law and thus all danger of looting in the doomed district was eliminated. Word was received last night that Gen. Corbin, of New York, would be here today to take command of the federal troops. The presence of two regiments of militia as an adjunct to the police, which were augmented by details from Philadelphia and Washington, resulted in the maintenance of the best of order. Dynamite explosions were constant yesterday. The program adopted Sunday night of blowing up buildings in an attempt to stay the progress of the flames was continued until the fire was under control. Then the dynamiters turned their attention to razing tottering walls which threatened to collapse. The result was almost constant cannonading and the detonating was heard in all parts of the city. With the fire under control, the blackened waste which lies in the wake of the sea of flames presents a view terrible in its pyrotechnic grandeur. It can be likened best to occans of great coke ovens, each shooting out its thousand tongues of flame from pyramids of brick, stone and cement. Throughout the terrible contest in which firemen and fire battled for supremacy, humanity was handicapped by a gale which carried burning brands far over the heads of the workers and beyond the reach of the hundreds of streams of water poured into the raging furnaces. But for the work of volunteers in seeking out and extinguishing these embers it is almost certain the burned area would have been twice larger than it is. About 75 squares, or 140 acres, are in ashes. Inspector of Buildings Preston, after making a careful study of the burned district, placed the building loss alone at $150,000,000. It is said that no great fire in this country can show a smaller list of dead or injured. Up to last night not one person was reported killed and the number treated in the hospitals will not be more than 50. James M. Colgate Dles. Yonkers, N. Y., Feb. S.—James M. Colgate died at his home here Sunday. Mr. Colgate was born in New York in 1818 and was the first to organize during the civil war the New York Gold Exchange, of which he was for many years the president. Colgate University at Hamilton, N. Y., was enlarged with fine buildings and liberally endowed by Mr. Colgate during the past 30 years, over $1,000,000 having been contributed to the institution. He also gave, for his wife, about $100,000 to the Colby academy at New London, N. H. Murder in a Theatre Middlesboro, Ky., Feb. 8.—In the gallery of the Princess Theatre at Middlesboro Saturday night during a performance of West's Minstrels, John White, a negro ex-convict, shot and instantly killed Policeman John Burns and accidentally killed John Sharp, a switchman in the employ of the Louisville & Nashville railroad. The tragedy was the result of a threat made by the police officer during the day that he would arrest White for vagrancy. White escaped, knocking down a negro who atteed to stop him on the stairway the butt of his pistol. AND HE GOT IT. But It Proved to Be Something He Didn't Care to Hold Very Long. An indulgent mother of the Tuxedo colony was traveling on a local train one day in company with her three-year-old son, his nursemaid, and a copy of society magazine which absorbed her attention, relates the New York Times. The son was occupying the seat behind her with his attendant, who attempted every once in awhile to curb his restless and rebellious spirit by a gentle denial of his latest whim, but each time the mother, noticing only that some argument was in progress, and without looking up from her book, would remark: "Let him have it." The nursemaid thereupon would yield to this double demand. Finally a strong and rather venomous looking wasp flew against the window pane, and the youthful hunter reached out to grasp it, and wailed dejectedly when he was once more restrained by the watchful caretaker. Again the fond mother, without raising her eyes, exclaimed: "Oh, do let him have it!" And the howl which followed the nurse's compliance caused an amused smile to pass around the car. FOOTWORK ON THE PIANO. "First Steps in Music" by a Youthful Artist with Too Much Pedal. Clifton Bingham, the author of "In Old Madrid," is not himself a musician, but his ear is delicate and sensitive, and nothing annoys him more than to hear bad singing or bad playing says the New York Tribune. He was visiting a cousin of his in London, and this cousin has a soe, a boy of 12 or 13, who practices on the piano every morning. The muscular lad, banging false notes from the instrument with tremendous vigor, tried Mr. Bingham not a little. "What on earth are you playing there, Jimmy?" the song writer called from the next room one morning. "An exercise from 'First Steps in Music,'" the boy answered. "I knew you were playing with your feet," said Mr. Bingham, "but would you mind stepping a little lighter on the keys?" Gratitude Well Expressed. Sault St., Marie, Mich., Feb. 8th.-Mr. C. L. Smith, painter and decorator, whose home is at 309 Anne street, this city, makes the following statement: "I was laid up with some kind of pains. Some said it was Lumbago, others Sciatica, and others again Rheumatism. A few of my friends suggested that it was lead poison, but whatever it was it gave me a great deal of pain, in fact, almost completely crippled me. I had to use two canes to walk about and even then it was a very painful task. "A friend advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills and I began the treatment. After I had used the first box I was able to throw away one of the canes and was considerably improved. The second box straightened me up so that I could go about free from pain without any assistance and very soon after I was completely cured, well and happy, without a pain or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed to go right to the spot in my case and they will always have my greatest praise." Bather Lively Jogalong- On the jump. I've got three frog farms in Missouri.—Chicago Daily.

Griffith, a druggist at the southeast corner of Eleventh and Vine streets, was held in $500 bail for Court this afternoon by Magistrate Jermon, and at the same time Griffith's clerk, Joseph C. Fore, was held in $800 bail for Court on the same charge, and also for selling certain articles the sale of which is prohibited by law. The men were arrested this morning upon warrants issued by Magistrate Jermon at the instance of Brent Good, No. 130 West Fifty-seventh Street, New York, and Charles C. Orcutt, No. 12 Junnel Terrace, New York, representatives of the Carter Company. They stated that the latter had spent $3,000,000 in advertising and getting their label known, and did not purpose to permit others to reap the benefits. The label in question is a small one containing a large letter L, and the one used by Griffith is an exact copy, except that it does not contain Carter's name. The prosecution showed how easily the imitation product could be palmed off on the would-be purchaser of Carter's pills, owing to the similarity of the labels, and held that it was evidence of a deliberate attempt to deceive.

Not long ago the father discovered to his sorrow that his boy and several others of the neighborhood had a habit of matching nickels. The wrathful parent led the erring lad to the time-honored attic, where hangs a certain strap. The boy didn't have any agreeable impression of what was to come, and, on the ground that it is only the first plunge that counts, he called out: "Say, dad! I'll go you heads or tails for two lickings or none!"—Chicago Chronicle. Quite Another Matter Uncle George—Instead of wearing diamonds, don't you think it would be more becoming to pay your tailor's bills?

Consul, the half-human chimpanzee, had his throat examined at London recently, with the object of ascertaining whether an operation would enable the animal to articulate. Dr. Blake, who made the examination, is of the opinion that Consul will never be able to speak properly. The flatness of the roof of the mouth prevents lingual sounds, and the protrusion of the lips is opposed to labial sounds. While Consul is perfectly able to give facial expression of pleasure, curiosity, desire and anger in the most pronounced form, it is impossible to make him speak. Clean Sweep.

Miss Alice M. Dressler, 1313 N. Bryant Aye., Minneapolis, Minn., writes: "Last spring I suffered from la gripe and was partially cured, but the bad after effects remained through the summer and somehow I did not get strong as I was before. One of my college friends who was visiting me asked me to try Peruna and I did so and found it all and more than I had expected. It not only cured me of the catarrh but restored me to perfect health, built up the entire system and brought a happy feeling of buoyancy which I had not known for years." —Alice M. Dressler.
