The Gazette

MINTED PRINTING TRADE STREET COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND. SATURDAY. MARCH 19, 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. As the Springfield (Mass.) republican very pertinently suggests, it is about time the "big Negroes" at Washington, D. C., "woke up," and invoked the aid of the Interstate Commerce Commission, to put a stop to the discrimination against our people, the Pullman and all other sleeping car companies in the south, have been forced to make by the various state governments of that section. The power to do this clearly lies with that august body. Won't sombody jog Messrs. Lyons, Dancy, Adams, Holland, Green and others? For the race's sake, wake them up and get them to DO something as well as say something. Even the editor of the Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate has at last been forced to acknowledge that it has had quite enough of that fellow, Ed Cooper, of the Washington (D. C.) Colored American, now a "try-weakly." It advises him to "breathe" his "withered fumes upon" his "detractors." As if there were such persons, or could be. Those who know Cooper will be able to thoroughly appreciate the Advocate's use of the word "fumes" in the sentence quoted. Yes, the use of the word "fumes" is good, very good. It was the Advocate that was inclined to criticise The Gazette, some months ago, for republishing the statements of exchanges that Cooper had "fleeced" of hard-earned money. Let's see. It was Hayes who came from Ohio. Garfield from Ohio. McKinley from Ohio. Hanna from Ohio. Justice Day from Ohio, and the Negroes are asking "Can any good-thing come out of Nazareth?" Yes; there is Senator Foraker and who knows, but when he comes upon the throne he will save his people. By the side of the whole set, he stands a giant for justice and liberty. —Mobile (Ala.) Press. There is no "southern rabbit" (fear) running up Senator Foraker's back, as in the cases of all the others mentioned. Then, too, he has about as much real ability as any two of those mentioned by our esteemed conferee and friend, Editor Johnson, of the Mobile Press. The senator should follow his friend, President Roosevelt, as the chief executive of this country. The Lord knows our people, and the country also, needs them both in the position. John P. Green, a stamp clerk in the departments at Washington, D. C., in a recent communication to the New York Age, undertakes to tell why he does not "lead off" in a movement to enforce the Civil Rights law of the District of Columbia, when its benefits are so generally and thoroughly denied him and the rest of our people, residents of the Nation's capital. Its amusing—John's excuse—and it is the same old "make-shift," too, he has been using, lo! these many years. Being "fired" from the Burnett House (Cincinnati) or refused accommodation in it, on the ground of color or race, or both, some years ago—before going to Washington and after he had been a member of the Ohio legislature once or twice—did not make any change in his excuse-tune which he is still "singing." If John, in all his 19 or 20 years in the public service, ever did anything material for his race or any member of it except himself, some one ought to advertise it here in Cleveland, John's home for many years prior to his last few years' residence in Washington. No, indeed; Clerk John isn't going to "lead off." Anent the Springfield lynching, Gov. Herrick has been doing a good deal of "consulting" and "ordering," and we sincerely hope something material will be accomplished as a result of it. We shall certainly watch closely and see all that is. It seems to us however, that about the first thing he might have done was to invoke the aid of that old law which would enable him to "fire" from office the mayor of Springfield and the sheriff of Clarke county. Then proceed against that major or other local "commanding" official who failed, so disgustingly, to do his duty, on the childish plea that "his men did not want to come out and shoot down their neighbors." Governor, these are things that must be done just as quickly and thoroughly as the arrest and punishment of the leaders of and participants in the mob. Law-abiding people all over Ohio and the country are watching closely to see if you are equal to the occasion. It is a question to many people here in your own city as to whether Springfield is disgraced the more as a result of the recent lynching, or Cleveland, as a result of the Fulton appointment. SENATOR FORAKER RIGHT. The Washington (D. C.) correspondent of a local daily paper wrote it, the first of the week, as follows: "The council of war held (in Cleveland) under the auspices of the Tippecanoe club Saturday night was the chief topic among Ohio politicians here today. In reply to a request for comment on Gov. Herrick's statement there, "That we shall demand that those two men (Ohio senators) be shown equal consideration and respect at Washington," Senator Foraker said today: "Gov. Herrick reminds me of the Irishman who, when assured that he would have justice, said that was what he was afraid of. "If I could manage to secure for my friends one-half the federal appointments in Ohio I would be more than happy. This remark is better appreciated when it Is known that in the seven years I have been in the senate, with one exception, I have not been able until the appointments of last week, to name even a fourth-class postmaster in the fourth congressional district. If I were to have every appointment necessary to fill the vacancies as they occur, by expiration of term of office, death and removals for cause, it would be two or three years, may be five years, before I could get one-half, or the number Gov. Herrick intends to insist shall be allowed me. I am obliged to him. I want just what he wants and can say with him that I am going to 'demand' it, too. "It is not that I care personally about it but because I will no longer allow men to be discriminated against in the distribution of patronage, simply because they happen to be my friends. Nobody has thought of treating Gen. Dick otherwise than fairly. I am sure the president has not and I am sure I have not. He is going to get a fair deal even if he don't get any offices." As usual Senator Foraker is right—perfectly right. His mistreatment and that of his friends, at the hands of President McKinley and Senator Hanna, is notorious. It was so bad and the senator's position so embarrassing, that the wonder is how a man of his acknowledged exceptional ability and fine temperament managed to bear up all these years under such a galling load. That he has done it, is only additional proof of his commanding ability, far-sightedness and self-control—some of the elements that have caused the administration to look to him to lead in many of its contests in the United States senate. Thank the Lord, at last we have in the White House, a man as president who believes in fair play and honesty, and who recognizes sterling ability to the fullest extent. There WILL be "a fair deal," whether Gov. Herrick calls for it or not. It is bound to come; indeed, has started already, and that is what has startled so our governor and the remnant of the Hanna contingent under him, and Senator-elect Dick. The "fair deal, as far as Senator Foraker and his friends are concerned, was so thoroughly ignored and frowned out of sight during the McKinley-Hanna reign that the mere suggestion of its return, in the shape of a few (recent) presidential appointments scared Gov. Herrick, the mouth-piece of the Dick-Hanna faction, into political hysteries at the above mentioned "Tippecanoe Club" meeting on last Saturday evening. Such a wail at President Roosevelt and Senator Foraker, as Messrs. Herrick and Dick sent up on that occasion, was really amusing as well as ridiculous. We confess the governor surprised us not a little as we did not believe him so thoroughly in the clutches of the crowd that first and most strenously objected last year to his being the republican candidate for governor. The last paragraph of the interview with Senator Foraker, is so characteristic, especially of years ago—when he was in the Ohio field with a fair chance, no favor, and no national administration (McKinley-Hanna) on his back to bear him down—that it makes the fighting blood in one's body flow quicker, and starts an all-pervading desire for the early arrival of the days and months to follow this fall's election. Resolutions of Condolence Whereas God in His wise Providence, has called to his final rest, our brother, Robert Haskins. Resolved, That we, the Auxiliary of the Mt. Zion Missionary Society, while sorrowing over his loss, do bow in humble submission to God's will, knowing that His will is best for us all. Resolved, That we express to his widow, Sister Mamie Haskins, our sincere sympathy, and invoke upon her God's blessings, of guidance, and strength and grace; trusting that her night of sorrow may speedily give place to the light of a heavenly father's indwelling presence and comfort. Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to Sister Haskins, and The Gazette and other newspapers. The magazine and other newspapers. T. H. Edmonds, chairman; J. H. Dunjill, vice-chairman; J.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1904. Returns So Far Indicate Soft Coal Miners Will Accept Cut. Miners in Nine States, Numbering 190,000 Men, Voted on the Question of Accepting a Indianapolis, March 16.—One hundred and ninety thousand coal miners of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, western and central Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iowa, eastern Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland dropped their picks at noon Tuesday to cast their ballots on the proposition to accept or refuse the offer of the mine owners for a two years' scale at a reduction of $5\frac{1}{2}$ per cent., from the present scale of wages. The voting was done by ballot. The ballots were in charge of the secretaries of the local lodges of United Mine Workers of America, each miner being handed one favoring acceptance of the scale and another favoring its rejection. The secretaries will forward the result to the national headquarters here, and they will be counted Thursday. Reports have been received here from about 50 points. In practically all of them, including towns in Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, western Pennsylvania and Illinois, the sentiment as voted is heavily in favor of accepting the scale as offered. Bay City, Mich., March 16.—A report that is being generally accepted here, coming from a reliable source, is to the effect that yesterday's vote of the miners of the Saginaw valley on the proposition submitted by the operators at the Indianapolis convention was two to one in favor of acceptance. Pittsburg, March 16.—The members of the United Mine Workers of America voted on the question of accepting the reduction offered by the operators or for calling a general strike and it is estimated that about 21,000 of the 22,000 miners in No. 5 district, which includes Pittsburg and vicinity, voted in favor of accepting the reduction. Altoona, Pa., March 16.—The miners of the central Pennsylvania bituminous field voted on the referendum submitted by the Indianapolis convention and cast their ballots almost unanimously for peace. District Indianapolis, March 17. At the national headquarters of the United Mine Workers of America late yesterday estimates on the vote of the miners had been computed by the national officers. They are positive the scale has been accepted and there will be no strike. Of the 190,000 miners in the states voting, it is estimated that 130,000 to 135,000 voted and of these 88,500 voted for the scale and 46,500 voted against it and in favor of a strike. BALFOUR DEFEATED. England's Premier Humiliated in the House of Commons. London, March 16.—Premier Balfour's government yesterday was defeated in the house of commons by the combined liberal and nationalist vote. This reverse was due to the prohibition by Mr. Wyndham, chief secretary for Ireland, of the teaching of Gaelic in the junior grades of the Irish nationalist school. Mr. Balfour, though defeated by a majority of 11 on this question, does not regard the vote as one of want of confidence and he will not resign on this account. His determination not to resign was strengthened by the fact that shortly after the foregoing defeat he was able to secure a majority of 25. The failure of the government to carry the house with it on a question of purely administrative policy in its Irish department, is generally admitted to greatly weaken its already waning prestige with the country, although it is not thought probable that any immediate development will ensue. TOY PISTOL CAPS. They Exploded and Wrecked a Factory-Three People Killed and Eight Injured. Chicago, March 16.—Three persons, two of them being boys, were killed and eight other employees were injured yesterday by an explosion of toy pistol caps which completely demolished the two-story brick manufacturing plant of the Chicago Toy Novelty Co. at Western avenue and West Eighteenth street. The wrecked building caught fire immediately after the explosion and the bodies of the dead were so badly burned and mangled that it was impossible to recognize them except by remnants of clothing. The building was occupied by three firms, employing nearly 100 persons, and it is believed some others may have been killed, but until the debris, which is piled 20 feet high, can be cleared away the exact number of dead cannot be ascertained. Refuse to Use the Label. Rochester, N. Y., March 17. The use of the union label has been discontinued by more than 30 of the large wholesale clothing manufacturing firms of this city. The manufacturers say that they are disgusted at the attitude of the unions and refuse to be dictated to any longer. Biotous Strikers. New York, March 16.—Five hundred members of the House Wreckers and Second Hand Building Material Handlers' union, went on strike yesterday against Meyer Hellman, the S. W. Segrift Co. and the D. W. Green Co., dealers in second hand building materials. The three companies refused to renew their signatures to the agreement with the union signed last year. Several times during the day trucks in charge of non-union men were attacked. Two men in charge of one of the Segrift Co.'s trucks were dragged from them and beaten. Blackburn Censures Gen. Wood. A GREAT WILL CONTEST. A Man of Wealth Cuts Off His White Wife with $10,000 and Bequeathed the Rest of $200,000 to His Colored Family. St. Louis, Mo.—Sometime this month will be argued in the supreme court of this state, a case in contest of the will of the late Eli Keene, involving money and property to the amount of $200,000. In 1850, at the age of 17, Keen purchased from his father a young slave girl, and for 33 years lived with her, rearing a family of eight children, and always introducing them as his wife and family. In 1883 he left them and went to West Virginia, where he married his cousin, a white woman. In 1901 he died, and when his will was read, it was discovered that he had cut off his white wife with about $10,000 and bequeathed the remainder of his large estate to his colored children in this state. The will has been under contest ever since, and has now been carried to the supreme court, whose decision will be final. Thus far, the decisions have been in favor of the white widow. It is quite evident that Keen's martial relations with his colored family were more truly domestic and congenial than in his later marriage. His children were well educated and are all farmers on land here in Missouri, allowed them by their natural father. MME. NORDICA'S HOLIDAY. The Great Singer an American -How She Spends Her Leisure Time at Home and Abroad. Nordica in Holiday Time is the subject of an interesting contribution to the April Delineator by William Armstrong. Mme. Nordica is a favorite in America, and America is a favorite of hers, for in addition to the season of opera, which she annually passes here, she looks forward to a time when she can spend her leisure in a quiet farmhouse set down in the hills of Maine, where she passed her girlhood. At present this is denied her, for it is a curious edict of the American operatic public that no singer can remain here, even between seasons, without in a way losing caste. Being obliged to summer abroad, Mme. Nordica seeks out those places where she can find mose absolute rest. Two Summers ago she found a little hamlet on the outskirts of the Black Forest, which affords rare opportunities for rest and the enjoyment of Nature. It is her life here that Mr. Armstrong describes in The Delineator. The article is written in a personal and entertaining manner, and the pictures that accompany it are highly effective. MR. F. C. BRANSON. A Progressive Business Man for Auditor of Lorain County. Mr. E. C. Branson, of Wellington, O., one of the leading business men and progressive citizens of that place, is a candidate for auditor of Lorain county, and judging from the very thorough and business like manner in which he does things it is natural to look for a very aggressive campaign. Mr. Branson came to Wellington 20 years ago and at once became a leading and enterprising citizen, and a "wheelhorse" in republican politics. He was a member of the county committee during the campaign of 1896, when the republican majority reached "high water mark." Wellington has no representative in county office except treasurer, whose term expires at the same time a new auditor will be installed. Mr. Branson is in every way qualified to perform the duties of this important office, being careful, conservative, and well informed in matters of taxation. His honesty and integrity are unquestioned and his ability is undenied. Republican Wellington is entitled to be represented in the court house, and surely Mr. Branson is fairly entitled to that honor. "Walking With God." Lockland and Wyoming.—The concert under Rev.

Springfield, the home of ex-Governor Bushnell, engaged in the little business of battering down the jail and fiendishly hanging a Negro. This was not a case of rape, but of murder. The nameless crime was formerly the excuse for lynching, but now any old thing will answer the purpose when a mob of drunken brutes conclude to hang and burn. One consolation, the tax-payers of the county in which the lynching occurred will pay for the action of the mob.—Charleston (W. Va) Advocate. Girl Who Horsewhipped Postmaster Is usage. Defiance, O.—Miss Cora Prater, who horsewhipped Postmaster Thompson (white) six months ago, was arrested on the 10th on an affidavit filed by A. A. Harley (white), a ornament dry goods merchant, charging her with insanity, and was adjudged insane by Judge Shaw. From the testimony and evidence submitted, it appears that Miss Prater has been writing to the United States commissioner, district attorney, marshal, and others. STATE THREATENS LYNCHERS. To Punish the Springfield Rioters and Mobocrats-Detectives and State Fire Marshall "Investigating." Columbus,' O.—Gov. Herrick has decided to use the civil power of the state to bring to justice the members of the Springfield mob, and this power for this purpose will be as vigorously used. He called Attorney General Ellis (a Cincinnatiian) to the executive office last week and gave him instructions to enter the case and leave no legal stone unturned. The attorney general was told to call to his assistance all the aid necessary. He is free to employ attorneys, to gather evidence and aid in the preparation and prosecution of the cases against the rioters. His authority is broad enough to employ detectives to ferret out the guilty persons. The governor realized the amount of public sentiment in Springfield that is on the side of the mob and has taken the step he did to make sure that that local sentiment does not mother justice. Detectives are sleuthing in Springfield. The members of the mob which lynched Richard Dickerson and burned five resorts in the "levee" district are to be ferreted out. At the conference between the governor and Attorney General Ellis it was decided to put detectives at work. Their names are guarded, but their instructions are to completely cover the ground and to obtain evidence against as many members' of the mob as possible. It is said these detectives are as shrewed as are to be found in the country. Their task is expected to be comparatively easy for the reason that the men in the mob made little or no effort to conceal their identity, even boasting of participation in the affairs. From the manner in which certain public officials expressed sympathy for the mob it would not be surprising if some of them are caught in the net of the law. The governor thinks proper efforts were not put forth to prevent the lynching or the incendiarism. Special attorneys will follow the detectives into Springfield to take up the evidence gathered, and shape it into form for conviction of those upon whom suspicion shall fall. Ellis has visited Springfield to counsel with his special lawyers and detectives. When it comes to trial the attorney general will be on hand in person to conduct the prosecution. Fire Marshal Hollenbeck also has been ordered by the governor to make a separate investigation of the fires in the "levee" district. COUNTY OFFICIALS PROPOSE A DELAY. Springfield, O.—Although the special grand jury met Monday the mob trouble will not be investigated until later. At a conference between Prosecutor McGrew and Chief O'Brien it was decided to hold up the mob investigation until the excitement has somewhat subsided. McGrew fears in the present disturbed condition of the city an attempt on the part of the authorities to bring the mob leaders to justice will precipitate other trouble. He advises as little notoriety as possible to the investigation, and before proceeding with active steps in the investigation to allow public sentiment to cool. There are a number of transcript cases before the court and these will afford a good excuse for delay. He admits that the county (Clarke) will have to pay the $5,000 to Dickerson's relatives, required by Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio anti-lynching law, "because the supreme court has adjudged the law constitutional." Troubled with Vanity. Troubled with Vanity. We notice the advertisement of the Continental Chemical Co., manufacturers of Glossine, in a number of our exchanges. This company is one of several that want to exchange hair straightener for advertising space. We never knew that so many of our contemporaneous newspaper men are troubled with vanity over their personal appearance; and if they are it is questionable whether they are not using poor judgment in using an article which has to adopt such methods of getting before the public. It is high time that Negro newspaper men learn that their space is money, and that baby buggies, liver pills and patent churns are not money. If Negro press conventions will turn their attention to such live matters as this there will be an excuse for their existence.—Denver (Colo.) Statesman. ELECTRIC HAIR STRAIGHTENER & RESTORER.

Mrs. George Carroll has been suffering severely during the past week. A marriage license was issued March 14th to Edward Marshall, of Akron, aged 30, and Miss Eva Lancaster, of Collinwood, aged 29. Mrs. Ella White's name should have appeared in the list of speakers at the Anti-Lynching league meeting of Monday evening, published elsewhere in this paper. Every loyal member of the race, male or female, ought to sign the petition being circulated for signatures by the Anti-Lynching League and its friends. Miss Nona Walden, of Wellington, arrived in the city Tuesday for a few days' visit. She is en route to Cambridge Springs, Pa., to reside with a relative. The Friday evening dinners being served at St. Andrew's church will be discontinued unless better patronized. With the poor patronage the members and friends give, they do not pay. A marriage license was issued the first of the week to John Faulkner, aged 22, of 36 Blair street, and Maud Jackson, aged 18, of 628 Central avenue. They were married by Rev. E. D. Dandridge. Mr. J. H. Wilson, of 15 Cedar avenue, is very ill with neuralgia of the heart. As a result of the same, Mrs. J. Milton Hopkins, his daughter, of Alexandria, Va., was called to the city. The Oak and Ivy Whist club met at Mrs. Mickler's, 15½ Pine street, Thursday evening. Games and social entertainment by Mrs. Mickler and Mr. Coury occupied the time of the evening. James W. Crawford's new restaurant at No. 91 Sheriff street, is a "Gem"—neat, clean and inviting. His prices are as reasonable as any, his meals first class and he gives one plenty to eat. Go in and see for yourself. The Thurman Union and Douglass "Y," held a special meeting at Mrs. Henderson's, No. 52 Forest street, last evening, and will entertain the Cuyahoga County convention at St. John's church on next Thursday evening. There is no use talking—Krumhar, the photographer, has distanced the rest of those in his business. He is always up-to-date, with the newest, latest and best. One can quickly see why this is so. See his advertisement elsewhere in this paper and patronize him. Hon. Jere A. Brown is wrong when he states that there, is no law by which the weak officials at Springfield can be ousted from office. Soon after the "Click" Mitchell lynching in 1897, Gov. Asa Bushnell and his attorney-general publicly threatened to invoke the aid of this very law in ousting from office the "back-bone-of-a-rag-doll" officials of that town. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to the marriage of Miss Narcissa McDonald to Mr. Sherman Singleton, at the residence of her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. John Owens, 122 Warren street, Lebanon, O., at 7:30 p. m., March 24. Miss McDonald has been our faithful and efficient Lebanon correspondent for years, and we wish her all the success and blessings of married life. John Tolbert received a sentence of "costs and 30 days" in the workhouse, the first of the week (in police court), for "holding up" members of the Union Club for money, on various "hard luck" stories. J. H. Dempsey, esq., who was in Dan Hanna's office, when John "touched" the latter for a "five spot," turned him over to the police. He had been soliciting money this way for a week, it is said. The Ladies Aid Society held their regular monthly meeting last week Thursday evening, at Mrs. Katherine Brown's, No. 34 Hackman street. After a business session they were served sumptuously by the hostess. They were also delightfully entertained during the evening by Miss Florence Brown, of Toledo, who rendered several solos, assisted by Mrs. Brown. Miss Florence sang for the benefit of the society last evening. The circuit court has decided that the county must pay Ben Williams for white-washing the county jail. The decision was called forth by mandamus proceedings which Williams started to compel the county commissioners to pay him his bill of $110. The job in question is the one which Sheriff Berry had done a few weeks ago without asking the consent of the county commissioners. When Williams presented his bill for payment, Commissioner Mackenzie held it up. The appeal to the courts followed and the circuit judges decided in favor of the sheriff. A Mr. Lucy, of British Guinana, student at Wilberforce University, delivered an able sermon at Antioch church Sunday morning, his subject being "Love." A large audience heard him and expressed its appreciation by giving him a liberal collection. He will graduate in June and return to his native country to labor among the people. The pastor preached to young men Sunday night. The seats and aisles were crowded. The sermon was one that would have to be heard to be appreciated. We wish that more young men could have heard it for it was full of wholesome admonitions. There will be special services every evening from now until Easter. The Anti-Lynching League held a lively meeting last Monday evening at St. John's church, discussing the Springfield lynching and kindred topics. A committee consisting of Hon. H. C. Smith, chairman, Dr. E. M. Grant, and Mr. George H. Ganaway, were apopinted, with power to take suitable action, which is to be completed at next Monday evening's meeting at the same place. There should be an outpouring of our people in attendance. The speakers were President Buchanan, Dr. Grant, Messrs. Ellis, Woods, Boyd, Page, Bell, Berry, Ganaway, and Hon. H. C. Smith, who spoke nearly an hour, holding the closest attention of the audience throughout. A rising and unanimous vote of thanks was tendered him, the spontaneousness of which was only exceeded by its enthusiasm. After a legal contest in Justice Wm. Brown's court, J. A. Sterritt's contract with J. Y. Gilliam, lessee of the store-room now occupied by the Sterritt pool and billiard parlors in Woodliff block, has been declared valid to Jan. 1, 1906, the time of the expiration of Mr. Gilliam's lease. Mr. Sterritt's refusal to vacate or pay increased rent at the request of Mr. Buchanan, the present manager, precipitated the legal battle. It is said that H. C. Jackson, of the Woodliff restaurant, has taken a partner, and that Mr. Buchanan is to open a private club room with a reading department in the rooms, formerly occupied by the dentists. Mr. Stevens, while retaining an interest in the lessee-control of the building, has employment at one of the banks. A dining room for the use of the hall is about fitted up on the second floor at the foot of the second flight of stairs. Assimilation of the race by the whites is the solution of the socalled Negro problem, said Charles W. Chestnut, esq., at All Souls' church, Sunday afternoon. He said that the assimilation would be accomplished in this country within 500 years. "There is room for one race only in the United States," said he. "Some of the Negroes will be removed by natural causes, some will emigrate and the remainder will be assimilated. This is a happy solution of the problem and the only way out of one of the greatest problems the United States has had to confront. The only man given a death sentence in Cuyahoga county in the last 10 years was a Negro. In order to break down this rejidence against us, it will be necessary to exhalt humanity above race. Justice is the root of equality and in order to aid the Negro it is necessary to give them justice. The golden rule is a safe guide." "The action of the mob at Springfield, O., last week, was a disgrace to a civilized country," said Rev. J. M. Gilmere, pastor of St. John's church, Sunday, in a sermon based on the texts, "The Spoiler Spoileth," and "Watchman, What of the Night?" After stating that he did not condone Dixon's crime, Rev. Gilmere said: "The people of this country talk a great deal about cannibalism," the speaker continued, "yet at Springfield, in a so-called Christian country, a mob of 1,000 men last week pursued one defenseless man, killed him, and then riddled his body with bullets. And, oh horror or horrors, women and children apparently found pleasure in looking at the awful sight of that man's body, which had been murdered, by their husbands and fathers. Each man in that mob is a murderer, just as guilty as was the Negro Dixon, whom they slew. They claim to be opposed to the crime of murder, and 1,000 of them became murderers! The people of Springfield, O., who took part in the murder of Dixon, and those who condoned the crime, are unfit to send the gospel to the heathen. They need it themselves. Missionaries should be sent to Springfield, O., immediately. It seems that the insurance companies knew that the homes of colored people were to be burned, as they canceled the policies on the houses in which they lived a day previous to the burning. The firemen of Springfield made no effort to save the saloons run by colored people, yet a saloon run by a white man they saved." Would Give Work to Thousands. Pittsburg, March 16.—A proposition has been submitted by the American Sheet and Tin Plate Co. to the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers which, if accepted, will give employment to thousands of idle union sheet and tin plate workers. The offer provides for a general reduction from the association wage scale of 20 per cent. and the company agrees to put all of its idle plants in operation as soon as the association accepts the terms. Cleveland, March 17.—Sylvester Green, a painter, is a lucky man. Wednesday he was working in the Edmiston business college. In the center of the building is a large court. The ladder on which Green was standing, slipped and he fell 50 feet to the stone. floor. An ambulance took him to a hospital, where an examination showed that he had almost miraculously escaped with a split bone in his arm and a few cuts. Inspections are Ordered. Columbus, March 17.—Adjt. Gen. Critchfield has ordered the following inspections for the O. N. G.: Company D, Fifth regiment, Warren, March 21; Company B and Company F, Eighth regiment, Akron, 23; Company B, Fifth regiment, Ravenna, 22; Company G, Eighth regiment Wadsworth, 24; Company K, Eighth regiment, Alliance, 25; Company C, Eighth regiment, Canton, 26. Gamblers Dey the Police. Des Moines, Ia., March 17.—For two days policy shop gamblers have defied the authorities who have sought under the state law to seize the gambling paraphernalia and close the doors. Hundreds of arrests have been made and still the policy gamblers continue openly to do business. It is claimed the game does not come under the present state law. Arrest of a Postmaster. Crookston, Minn., March 17.—Postoffice Inspector Morris yesterday arrested Andrew Eiken, the suspended postmaster at Crookston, and he was arraigned before a United States commissioner and bound over for trial on a charge of embezzling government funds. Three Men Killed. Three Men Killed Sherbrooke, Que., March 16.—A collision between Canadian Pacific and Boston & Maine freight: trains occurred Tuesday near Lennoxville. The dead: Engineer Folsom, Fireman Berard and Brakeman Cousins, all of the Boston & Maine crew. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1904.

The doctor said this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused by repeated and neglected colds. “If young girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold at this critical time, much suffering would be spared them, Thank God for dydia E.

Twenty Thousand Men in the Build ing Trades at New York City Idle. New York, March 17.—Labor troubles, as a result of which many thousands of men are idle, again threaten the industrial world, and the situation is expected to become as serious as the memorable troubles. of a year ago. In the building trades in this city it is estimated that already 20,000 men are out of work, and that the number will be increased almost daily. In addition, the printing trades are threatened by the attitude of the lithographers. ‘The dissension in both these trades is caused by a disagreement over ar- bitrafion agreements with employers, and involves the absolute recognition of the unions, the eight-hour day, and the “open shop.” The various unions of the allied lithographing tradé — organizations held conferences last night and de- cided not to accept the arbitration plan proposed to them by the Em- - ployers’ association. The arbitration plan was yester- day submitted individually to every workman employed by a member of the association, and they were told if they did not accept the plan they would be locked ont. The men were given until Saturday to decide. If the men refuse to sign the agree- ments more than 10,000 men will be locked out. The lockout will be all over the United States and also in Canada, The building strike was inaugur- ated by the masons’ laborers who claim that it was caused by their em- ployers posting a notice cutting down overtime charges. The plan of the employers, they assert, is to in- | augurate an “open shop” policy. The laborers were quickly sup- ported by the bricklayers and the al- lied trades. The housesmiths were followed by riggers, steamfitters, boilermakers and inside iron workers as well as a number of electrical See a PENSION EDICT. Commissioner Ware Issues a Very Iny portant Order. Washington, March 17.—Commis- sioner of Pensions Ware, with the ap- proyal of Secretary Hitchcock, yester- day promulgated the most important pension ruling that has been issued in a long time. It.directs that, be- ginning April 13 next, if there is no contrary evidence and all other legal requirements have been met, claim- ants for pension under the general act of June 27, 1890, who are over 62 years old shall be considered as dis- abled one-half in ability to perform manual labor and shall be entitled to $6 a month; over 65 years to $8; over 68 years to $10 and over 70 to $12, the usual allowances at higker rates con- tinuing for disabilities other than age. The order itself is preceded by a preamble which, after citing the law, says the pension bureau has estab- lished with reasonable certainty the average nature and extent of the in- firmity of old age; that 39 years af- ter the Mexican war congress, in 1887, placed on the pension roll all Mexi- can war soldiers wno were over 62 years old. ‘There is an advantage and saving to the government in the use of this order because every old soldier who has reached the age of 62 years is able to prove almost without possi- bility of doubt that he is one-half disabled from earning his support by manual labor. This being so, it seems unwise to put a soldier to the expense of time and transportation to go to a place where a medical board can examine him to find that fact out, and on the other hand, it seems unnecessary for the govern- ment to keep boards established and then pay $6 for the examination of a soldier when the result of the ex- amination can be so accurately fore- eae END OF A LIBEL SUIT. Dr. Schell, of Chicago, Is Awarded $24,000 Damages. Boston, March 17.—A_ superior court jury yesterday returned a ver- dict in favor of Dr. Schell, of | Cai- cago, formerly general secretary of the Epworth League, in his suit for libel against Dr. Caarles Parkhurst, editor, and the Boston Wesleyan as- sociation, publishers of Zion’s Herald. The jury fixed damages at $24,000. The Suit arose over statements printed in Zion's Herald in 1599, re- garding the publication by Dr. Schell in collabezation with E. 0. Exeell, a composer of Chicago, of a sacred song book for the use of the Epworth League. The alleged libel was con- tained in statements that Dr. Schell was dishonest and had utilized his position in the church for his per- sonal gain. The defense was a gen- eral denial of the allegations and a claim that the published statements were true and privileged. Sheet Eile Wie Three Times: Pittsburg, March 17.—Harry I. Me- Alpine, local agent for the Eppens, Smith & Wieman ‘Tea Co., of New York, shot his wife three times last night, and, thinking she was dead, tried to kill himself by- cutting his throat with a piece of glass, follow- ed by taking mereury tablets. Mrs. Alpine has a slight chance for recov- ery and his wife is not in a serious condition, It is said that McAlpine for some time has been laboring un- der the impression that his wife wanted to place him in an insane asylum. Sued for Violation of Anti-Trust Lax Austin, Texas, March 17,—Suits for alleged violation of the anti-trust law were filed yesterday by County At- torney Brady against the United States Fidelity and Guarantee Co., of Baltimore; the Fidelity and Deposit Co., of Maryland, and ‘the American Bonding Co., of Baltimore. It is al- leged that the companies have enter- ed into a trust to fix the prices of surety and guaranty bonds. A pen- alty of $22,600 is asked from each for this alleged violation. 3t is also al- leged that defendants are trying to restrict trade and for this a penalty of $17,500 is asked from each . Bulldinz Wrecked by an Explosion. Buffalo, N. Y, March 17.—Thirty girls, employed at the Ontario biseuii works, were thrown into a panic yes terday when a terrific explosion wrecked the plant. The walls of the building buiged cutwards and the floors sagged. Fortunately the stair- way remained intact and the girls es- caped. Superintendent Edward D. Howe was so badly burned that it is feared he will die and another man may lose his eyesight. it is believed the explosion was caused by a letke age of natural gas which was used ag fuel in the plant, OPINION OF THE EDITOR OF “NEBRASKA FARMER”. He Expresses His Approval of Amer- ican Immigration to Canada. Se ee a gee te eee ee ae een ee of the family consults with the other members as to the prospects for the future, and doubtless one of the most interesting topics discussed is that of moving to some district where it is possible io more easily secure what is necessary for a comfortable existence; where it is an easy matter to become possessed of sufficient farm lang to assure a competence for the futwre. This, not only interests the head of the family but every individual member of it. Having before me the knowledge where he can secure a home with the expenditure of but little money, it is well for him to obtain all information Possible regarding the productiveness of thé land in the country that he may select. For several years past a large number of Americans have removed to Western Canada and as nearly as it can be ascertained almost all of these have expressed themselves satisfied with the conditions that exist there. During the past Summer a number of the Editors of Farm papers through- out the United States made a personal visit on a tour of inspection and the reports of these gentlemen prove in- teresting reading. Mr. H. E. Heath, Editor of the “Nebraska Farmer,” a paper enjoying a wide circuiation as well as the confidence of its subscrib- ers, after giving some idea of the ex- teat of this wonderful country says: “Western Canada is the last unoccu- “pied and unimproved good agricul- “tural land in America available to- “day.” He then discusses its possibilities for raising live stock and the advan- tages it possesses for dairying, farm- ing and wheat growing, and says: “What has been said about the coun- “try as to the ability of the soil, the “yield of wonderful crops of wheat, is “quite justified.” f To quote further from Mr. Heath, he says, referring to climate: “These people (skeptical ones) do “not know or realize that altitude more “than latitude makes climates; that “large bodies of water, both fresh and “salt, that never freeze over, exert a “wonderful influence on climate. An- “other influence on climate, more po- “tent than those named above, which “applies more to the Alberta district, “is the warm Chinook breeze from the “Pacific Ocean, which is 600 or 700 “miles nearer than Colorado or Wyom- “ing, bestdes the Rocky Mountain “range is not nearly so high nor half “so far from the ocean as it is down “in the States. “In further considering the climate “of the Canadian prairies, we should “not lose sight of the fact of the in- “fluence of the rains; the total average “rainfall for the season is but 13.35 “inches for the territories, and 17.34 “inches in Manitoba, and that the “amounts falling between April Ist “and October Ist are respectively 9.39 “inches and 12.87 inches, or about “three-fourths of the entire rainfail. “From the middle of June to the mid- “die of July there are over two hours “more daylight in every twenty-four “hours than there is in Nebraska, The “main reason why Western Canada “wheat grows to such perfection is tae “effect of solar light, or longer period “of sunshine it gets each day. This “is what makes seeds or grain mors “perfect, grown in this country than “elsewhere. This extraordinary rapid “growth of vegetation under the in- “fluence of this long continued sun- “shine exceeds anything known in low- “er latitudes. * * © “We do not wish it understood that “wheat alone is the main product of “this country; it leads in that, yet it “is destined to become famous for its “cattle, horses and sheep and for its “dairy products. We saw more and “larger bands of cattle and sheep graz- “ing in Assiniboia and Alberta than “we ever saw on the western plains of “the United States. One band of cat- “tie numbering 5,000 head were graz- “ing on the rich grass and sheep with- “out number.” The Government of the Dominion of Canada is still using the same energet- ie efforts whigh have been used for the past 5 or 6 years to settle up these western prairies, and on application to any Agent of tho Canadian Govern- ment the settler will be able to secure a certificate entitling him to a low rate which will give him the opportunity of visiting any portion of Canada’s grain producing domain. A MOORISH EXHIBIT. Some of the Attractions North Africa WII Send to St. Louis Fair. Rudolph Aaronson, who has just returned from the interior of Moroc- co, closed arrangements with J. W. S.
