All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. TRADE & COUNCIL CLEVELAND. CLEVELAND. SATURDAY. APRIL 9, 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. There is absolutely no question as to the success of our Ohio anti-lynching law as a deterrent measure—in the minds of all those familiar with Ohio's mob violence record for ten years past. This has been proven beyond all question or doubt. With internal disturbances at San Domingo and the Russian-Japanese war on, it is really fortunate for our people particularly, and this government as well, that the United States representatives to the first named country and at Vladivostok, are Afro-Americans of education and ability—Minister Powell and Consul Greener. They are making exceptionally fine records, too. Admiral Dewey, and Assistant Secretary of State Loomis, who is an Ohioan, have promptly killed the Associated Press lie to the daily papers of the country, about their "refusing to land at Santo Domingo City because United States Minister Powell is an Afro-American." See the Washington letter elsewhere in this paper. The efforts of the Associated Press to cater to prejudiced southern sentiment is as palpable as it is nauseating to all intelligent fair-minded people. The Afro-American republicans of the nineteenth congressional district, who assembled in convention at Warren, on last week Thursday, are to be congratulated on the summary manner in which they "sat on" the attempt of a "Johnny Fresh" from an outside district, to interfere in their local affairs, even if the individual was sent by the effete "organization." The adoption of strong resolutions endorsing the Roosevelt administration and denouncing the springfield riot, was another creditable act of the gathering. for the gathering. The Cleveland Gazette does not feel pleasant towards the Hon. John P. Green and his acceptance of conditions in Washington, without seeking legal redress. There is plenty of law in the District of Columbia but unless invoked it remains a dead letter.—New York Age. All of which is very true. But a man who was not in the habit of contending for his rights in the courts of Ohio when a resident here, when they were denied him, is not apt to invoke the aid of the law in the District of Columbia when similar provocation is given. According to the Washington, D. C., correspondent of an esteemed contemporary, John P.Green, formerly of this city, a stamp clerk in the departments there, has been "knocking" a Booker Washington banquet—the one recently held in Washington. The writer referred to does not make it quite clear as to the manner in which John did it but "goes after" him and Bob Pelham, formerly of Detroit, now also a clerk in the departments of the nation's capital, with a "sharp stick." It seems that John poor fellow, but gets out of one newspaper trouble to stumble into another. Captain E. L. Buchwalter, of Springfield, a leading business man and heretofore an honorary member of the National Guard of that city, has refused to renew his membership on the ground that the Springfield militia (white) in refusing to respond to the call of the mayor during the early stage of the recent riot there, "failed disgracefully and dishonorably" to do its clear and sworn duty, and is right. That batch of individuals (white) in Springfield, alleged to be National Guardsmen, ought to have been mustered out of the service before tails for the miserable, "court-martial" conduct Mr. Buchwalter calls attention to so pertinently, and we cannot understand the governor's delay in calling for action from the proper officials, if we are to believe him sincere in all his talk to the newspapers immediately following the lynching. Won't some one wake him up and the two Afro-American members of the legislature. The latter, to date, do not seem to realize that there is anything for them to do, or are either incapable of doing anything, or are not allowed to try, by "the organization." Which is it? Possibly they are afraid to approach so august a personage as the governor of Ohio on the matter because he is "touchy" when the Springfield disgrace is recalled! It is certainly about time the attorney-general and his chief, Gov. Herrick, were making good of the many promises they made the people of Ohio and the country, immediately after the lynching. What became of all that evidence assistant attorney-generals, led by the head of the office, and the governor's "detectives," went to Springfield, and got several weeks ago? Indeed, what has become of all that evident eagerness and determination to do, that both governor and attorney-general exhibited (in the newspapers) for about a week following the disgraceful affair? Even the bottom of that alleged investigation at Springfield seems to be slowly but nevertheless surely falling out. The state officials as well as Clarke county's official conducting the alleged investigation, seem to be trying to present a bigger force than Sheriff Routzhan, Mayor Bowlus and Major Kirkpatrick did with the care of the early stages of that Springfield mob. HICKS-SIMMONS Taken to the Hospital-High Water Laid Them Off-Church, Social and Personal Notes. Youngstown, O.—Mrs. Andrew Jackson returned Sunday evening, from a month's visit with relatives in Bellefontaine.—Mrs. Lucy Berry, of New Castle, was the guest of Mrs. Stewart, and Mrs. Thos.

Those present were Mesdames Angie Lucas, Samuel Boggess, James Cheney, Mamie Vactor, Queen Robinson, Charles Lincoln, Anna Bacon, Cicero Bass, Georgia Washington, of Warren; Misses Bessie Logan and Rhodie Holmes, Messrs. Duff and Banister, and Mrs. Z. W. Mitchell.—The recent high water caused many of our men in the different works to be laid off. The entertainment at Mill Street church, Monday, under the direction of Mrs. Joe Kemp, was of such a nature as to entitle her to great credit. St. Mary's church choir is preparing special music for the rally, Sunday. Three choirs will participate.

DEWEY DENIES That He Retused to Land Because of Minister Powell-So Does Assistant Secretary of State Loomis. Washington, D. C.—A story has been going the rounds, to the effect that Admiral George Dewey refused to land while recently at Santo Domingo City because such action would have necessitated his dining with American Minister Powell, who is an Afro-American. Admiral Dewey denounces the story as being a lie out of the whole cloth. He said that the reason he did not land was that he did not want to anger the insurgents by calling upon the Santo Dominican president in his official capacity, and this would have been necessary had he landed. "Color cuts no figure with me personally," added the admiral, "and if I failed to accord to any American minister, black or white, the amenities that are due him I would not only insult a race and an individual, but my government and its flag. You know I came from Vermont where they have no prejudices against colored people. I remember while I was at Montpelier many years ago there were very few colored people and among them was a barber named Smith. We called him Mr. Smith and treated him just like other people. That's the way we treat Negroes in Vermont." And it is the right way. "DISHONORABLY FAILED." Capt. Buchwalter Bitterly Denounce Springfield Militia Men. Springfield, O.—Capt. E. L. Buchwalter, president of the American Seeding Machine Co., refused to renew his honorary membership in the National Guard of this city, and in his letter, says among other things: "I shall not resume my connection with the National Guard until the failure of the militia to respond to the call of Sheriff Routzhan and Mayor Bowlis on the night of the recent lynching here is satisfactorily explained to me. A soldier's duty should be plain before him. It is not to hang back when a call is sounded for this services. THE MILITIA FAILED TO RESPOND; DISGRACEFULLY, DISHONORABLY FAILED." Many Present in U. S. Supreme Courts. Washington, D. C.—A large number of our people were present in the supreme court Monday, to listen to the arguments in the case affecting the constitutionality of the Virginia election law, which was designed to exclude Afro-Americans from voting. Two cases were argued together, William H. Jones and others, and William S. Seldon and others against Gov. Montague. All the seats and available standing room behind the bar of the court were occupied, and there was a row extending from the door of the court along the corridor into the rotunda of the Capitol. Many were women, who seemed to show as much interest in the case as the men. Inherits a Snug Sum of $5,000 Inherits a Snug Sum of $5,000. Red Bank, N.

RUSSIAN COMMERCIAL PORT IN MANCHURIA Latest News of the Combatants in the Far East Struggle --- Odessa, April 2.—Odessa yesterday enthusiastically received the survivors of the gunboat Korietz and the cruiser Variag, destroyed by the Japanese in the battle of Chemulpo. The steamer Malaya, with the survivors on board, arrived here in the afternoon. A parade was formed, headed by the clergy and the survivors, surrounded by a guard of honor. The streets were decorated with flags and bunting. An immense crowd thronged the pavement, and the enthusiasm reached such a pitch that the people brushed aside the guard of honor and raised some of the survivors on their shoulders, while others were seized and kissed. JAPS MOVING NORTHWARD When the Japanese drove the Russians out of Cheng Ju last Monday the Russians withdrew in two columns, one going over the Koak San road and the other over the Pekin road. The Japanese advance from Cheng Ju was made very rapidly. It was anticipated that the Russians would resist this advance, but they failed to do so, and now it is not probable that there will be any further opposition south of the Yalu river. Russian patrols are reported to be in the country east of the Pekin road, but it is not probable that there is any considerable force of Russians in that section. The patrols are withdrawing graudally to the northward, toward the Yalu. Port Arthur, April 4.—Preparations have been made to give the Japanese a warm reception in case they again attempt to block the harbor. Seoul, April 4.—Five Japanese transports, carrying light artillery cavalry and infantry, have arrived at Chemulpo. The men are entraining for Seoul. London, April 4.—Reports of further skirmishing between the Russians and Japanese in the Yalu river region are reaching London, but no reliable details are given. The Daily Telegraph's Seoul correspondent believes that the defenses of Port Arthur have been so weakened that the early capture of the port is to be expected. There is little doubt, the correspondent says, that only a narrow passage is left and that at the first favorable opportunity the Japanese will block the channel. NEWS HID BY CENSOR London, April 5.—The Times correspondent at Che Foo, cabling under date of April 4, says there was another bombardment of Port Arthur April 3, but that there are no authentic details of the engagement available. Eight weeks from the opening of the war sees Japan apparently in complete possession of Korea and the first stage of the campaign ended. According to the Daily Mail's Kobe, Japan, correspondent, who telegraphs under date of April 4, a Ping Yang dispatch has been received there confirming the report from Shanghai that Japanese scouts entered Wiji, Korea, Monday, and that the Russians apparently retreated beyond the Yalu river. St. Petersburg, April 5.—As the time approaches for the opening of land operations on a large scale, the Russian authorities are exercising greater vigilance to prevent the news of their plans for the movement of troops in the theatre of war from going abroad where it might be of service to the enemy. For ten days not a scrap of real information has been given out or has come from the front. Che Foo, April 5.—The first steamer has arrived from Chemulpo and from the passengers it was learned that the last contingent of Japan's first army landed in Korea March 30. The army consists of 50,000 men, including coolie carriers. Japan has made Anju a frontal base, and has bridged the Chen Cheng, Pak Chen and Pak Chen rivers and is ready to A Newspaper Changes Owners Chicago. April 5. -The Chicago Journal has been purchased by John C. Eastman, who has been, since its inauguration, business manager of Hearst's American. E. W. Harden, one of the owners of the New York Commercial and for many years connected with the press of Chicago, is associated with Mr. Eastman in the ownership of the paper. The Journal is the oldest daily newspaper in Illinois, having been established in 1844. The Journal has been republican in politics, but it will be independent under its new management. Washington, April 5.—The supreme court of the United States yesterday affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of the People's Gas Co. vs. the city of Chicago. The decision is in favor of the city. The case involved the validity of the ordinance fixing a rate of 75 cents per thousand feet for gas. The case was dismissed by the United States circuit court for the northern district of Illinois and that decision was affirmed by Monday's opinion. The effect is to sustain the validity of the ordinance. The Gas Company Loses. advance by three roads to the Yalu river. SEVEN SQUADRONS London, April 7. The Daily Telegraph's Seoul correspondent says he learns from a Japanese sailor who participated in the attacks on Port Arthur that the Japanese fleet is divided into seven squadrons. Four of these are watching Port Arthur, the fifth patrols the coast and the sixth and seventh cruise between Vladivostok and North Japan. Two torpedo boats were much damaged in the engagements, but otherwise the fleet was little injured. The damages to the Japanese cruisers Iwate and Yoshine have been repaired and the vessels have joined the fleet. London, April 17.—The Times correspondent who is cruising in the vicinity of Port Arthur, cabling concerning the holdup of his vessel by a Russian warship, says it was the armored cruiser Bayan, flying the flag of Vice Admiral Makaroff, which chased and later searched his steamer. He says the Bayan shows the scars of the damage recently inflicted upon her by the Japanese, but that she is a fine ship and well handled. The correspondent of the Times at Che Foo says the Russians captured two Japanese spies at New Chwang yesterday who were in possession of the plans of the new fortifications. DRAMATIC INCIDENT A Prosecuting Attorney Calls on a Murdered Man to Come from a Grave and Confront His Slayer. Chicago, April 6.—Pretending to summon the spectre of Cornelius Van Zandwick into court to testify against George Freeman, charged with murdering Van Zandwick, Assistant State's Attorney Barbour created a dramatic scene in Judge Chytraus' court yesterday. In closing an address to the jury Mr. Barbour pointed to the empty witness chair and said he had summoned the murdered man from the grave to confront the slayer. Mr. Barbour pointed to the spot where he pretended to see Van Zandwick sitting and counted and described the wounds on the body of the dead man. The defendant, the jury and the spectators gazed at the chair with fascinated interest and Van Zandwick's widow and two children, who were in the court room, burst into tears. At the end of the speech Mr. Barbour again consigned the spectral witness to the grave. Fearing the effect upon the jury, defendant's counsel protested against Mr. Barbour's methods as soon as the purpose of the attorney became evident, but the court overruled the objection. Attempt to Wreck a Steamship. Portland, Ore., April 6. A bottle containing two pounds of powder heavily charged with nitroglycerine and containing a box of 100 detonating caps was found Tuesday on the guard rail of the steamer Albany of the Western Transportation Co.'s line. The fuse had burned almost to the caps, but had gone out. Had the bomb exploded, the Albany would doubtless have been completely wrecked. From the fact that a quantity of Chinese tissue paper and a white sock such as is worn by Chinese was wrapped around the bomb it is thought that a plot to destroy the steamer was evolved by Chinese. The transportation company has refused to employ Chinese. Long Strike Ended. Meriden, Conn., April 6. After 22 weeks the strike of the polishers and buffers at factory H, of the International Silver Co. was settled Tuesday. It is understood that the company will take back as fast as it can do so the men who have been on strike and whose places have been filled by nonunion workmen. The strike originally was over a grievance as to the kind of emery wheels used in polishing and a demand for an increase in wages. Burglar's Visited a Church Bellaire, O., April 7.—Thieves entered the Catholic church here Tuesday night, taking $600 worth of gold and silver ware. Iowa's Coal Pamine. Des Moines, Ia., April 6.—On account of the coal strike the railways yesterday announced that at least 500 men will be laid off at once Seventeen switching crews and 19 full train crews running out of Des Moines and Valley Junction quit work. Similar action by railways centering at Boone, Belle Plain, Oskaloosa, Ottumwa and Albia, will mean the loss of work to about 1,000 men. Churches here closed on account of the strike and the schools have been closed for a week until coal can be secured. Only one school room in the city is open. Tatnall's Report. Trenton, N. J., April 6.—Henry Tattnall, receiver for the Asphalt Company of America and the Nationa Asphalt Co., yesterday filed a report in the United States court. Mr. Tattnall in his report says that it would be a waste of time and money to proceed any further in an effort to collect assessments on the stock of the Asphalt Company of America. There are outstanding about $24,000,000 of the $30,000,000 par value of this stock but the great bulk of the stock is held by the National Asphalt Co. which is itself insolvent. Senator Burton, of Kansas, Gets Six Months in Prison. Pending the Decision of an Appeal the Senator Is Released on $10,000 Ball. St. Louis, April 7.—United States Senator J. R. Burton, of Kansas, was yesterday sentenced to six months' imprisonment in jail and a fine of $2,500 for using his influence before the postoffice department in behalf of the Rialto Grain and Securities Co., of St. Louis, and for having received payment from the company for his service. Senator Burton's attorney, Judge Krum, immediately filed a bill of exceptions in the case and offered a bond for $10,000, which was accepted. The case now will be appealed to the United States district court of appeals, the highest tribunal in the matter. The bill of exceptions which was filed yesterday is a voluminous document, comprising more than 500 pages of typewritten matter. It is a complete transcript of the proceedings of the trial, and will be used by the United States court of appeals in reviewing the case. The bill of error, which contains the grounds for the appeal, sets forth in detail all adverse rulings by Judge Elmer B. Adams, before whom the case was tried in the United States district court. One of the principal points forming the basis of the appeal of the case is that Judge Adams admitted as evidence several checks received by Senator Burton from the Rialto Grain and Securities Co. while he was in Washington. The defense contended in the trial that if an offense had been committed when Senator Burton accepted and cashed the checks, it was committed in Washington and that the St. Louis court consequently did not have jurisdiction. Judge Adams sustained the arguments of the district attorney, who held that the bank in Washington at which Senator Burton cashed the checks, acted simply as his agent and that, in any event, the question of jurisdiction in that instance was a matter for the jury to decide. Another point upon which Senator Burton's attorneys laid stress in the bill of error was the introduction of testimony and documentary evidence which, it is alleged, tended to prejudice the minds of the jurors against the defendant, while it had no direct bearing upon the merits of the charge against Senator Burton. A specific instance was the overruling of objections by the defense to the district attorney reading several telegrams which passed between Senator Burton and W. D. Mahaney, former vice president of the Rialto Grain and Securities Co. DENOUNCED POLYGAMY. Notable Action Taken by the Mormon Church Conference. Salt Lake City, Utah, April 7.—A notable feature of the closing session of the 74th annual conference of the Mormon church was the official declaration by President Joseph F. Smith on the subject of polygamy. The statement follows: "Imasmuch as there are numerous reports in circulation that plural marriages have been entered into, contrary to the official declaration of President Woodruff, of September 26, 1890, commonly called the manifesto, which was issued by President Woodruff and adopted by the church at its general conference, October 6, 1890, which forbids any marriage violative of the law of the land, I. Joseph F. Smith, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, hereby affirm and declare that no such marriages have been solemnized with the sanction, consent or knowledge of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and. "I hereby announce that all such marriages are prohibited and if any officer or member of the church shall assume to solemnize or enter into any such marriage he will be deemed in transgression against the church and will be liable to be dealt with according to the rules and regulations thereof and excummunicated therefrom." This statement received the full endorsement of the church members assembled, who unanimously adopted the following resolution, introduced by Anosthe Francis M. Lyman: "Resolved, That we, the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in general conference assembled hereby approve and endorse the statement and declaration of President Joseph F. Smith, just made to this conference, concerning plural marriages, and will support the courts of the church in the enforcement thereof." Three Firemen Killed. York, Pa., April 7.—Three firemen lost their lives, several others were injured and a loss of about $250,000 was caused by fire yesterday, which destroyed the large plant of the York Carriage Co. Much adjoining property was damaged. A wall fell, buyring beneath the hot bricks three firemen, Harry Saltzgiver, Horace F. Strine and Lewis Struinger. Pennsylvania's Republican Concise. Harrisburg, Pa., April 7.—Ex-Attorney General John P. Elkin, of Indiana county, was yesterday nominated for supreme court justice by the republican state convention. Gov. Pennypacker, Charles Elverson, of Philadelphia; O. D. Bleakley, of Franklin, and Francis Robbins, of Pittsburg, were elected delegates at large to the national convention and instructed to vote for the nomination of President Roosevelt. Robert Pitcairn, of Pittsburg, and Levi G. McCauley, of Philadelphia, were nominated for presidential electors at large. Rockefeller's Gift to a Hospital. Baltimore, April 7.—John D. Rockefeller has given $500,000 to Johns Hopkins hospital and the amount has been accepted by the trustees of that institution. The income of the hospital was seriously affected by the destruction of many houses belonging to it in the recent fire, upon which there was inadequate insurance. The purpose of Mr. Rockefeller's gift is to restore that income to its original proportions, which will enable the hospital to keep up the great volume of charitable treatment which it has maintained in the past.

The very best teas and coffees are secured at the Tokio Tea Company and at the most reasonable rates. See their advertisement elsewhere in this paper. L. G. Adkins has built up a splendid trade by serving first-class meals. That is the history of his restaurant, No. 493 Central avenue. Go and see for yourself. Mr. Anderson's family, of Livingston street, returned Tuesday, from New York city, where they visited her mother and sisters. The mother returned with them for a short visit. The L'Allegro club gives one of its bi-monthly dances at the Alta House, this evening. Its president, George W. Johnston, is very enthusiastic over the promising future of the organization. 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. Frank W. King, of Chicago, an undertaker, cousin of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Fields, of Calvert street, was in the city the first of the week, their guest. He is looking about with a view to locating and may settle in Cleveland. Do not fail to see Mr. Garland's ad., elsewhere in this paper, if you want a home, or want to stop paying rent, or want to live right. You don't need a whole lot of money to start with, either. He'll build you a home. Phone him or call upon him at once. Hon. Geo. H. Jackson, of Cincinnati, one of our most substantial residents of the "Queen City," was in the city, nearly all the week, to meet and visit with his son who is a student at Oberlin, and was on a few day's vacation. House bill No. 292, introduced by Henry Eubanks, seems to be a bad bill some one has "loaded" on him. The local civil engineers and the Chamber of Commerce denounce it in unspared terms. Won't no one act as a sort of political guardian of Henry? The Easter as well as the Good Friday services at St. Andrew's Mission were largely attended. The altar and chancel were beautifully decorated, and the services were inspiring. The committee of St. Andrew's met at T. W. Walker's, on Pine street, Wednesday evening of this week. The fancy dress carnival and ball at the Forest Street Armory on Monday evening, was another brilliant success which Messrs. Daniel Young and A. H. Bowman have every reason to feel proud of, especially since it was gained in spite of some very contemptible "knocking" at the very last moment. Many beautiful costumes, as well as amusing ones, were worn, and the prizes well awarded. Mrs. Julia Ford, of this city, and Mrs. A. Johnson, of Ravenna, mother and sister of Mrs. Cecilia A. Ware, of Pittsburg, who died there on March 25, and was buried here, desire to express their thanks to Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Reed, who so kindly opened their home to them in their hour of affliction, and also to Rev. J. M. Gilmere and those who so kindly sent so many beautiful floral tributes. The Easter services at Lane Memorial church were exceptionally pleasing. The pastor, Rev. Moody, preached eloquently in the morning on "Resurrection." At 3 p. m., Rev. W. R. Wilson spoke on the "Soul of Man." At 7:30 p. m. the Sunday school rendered an excellent program. The choir acquitted itself most creditably as usual. The rally Sunday, netted $63, and there were four additions to the church. Rev. Moody is greatly encouraged over the outlook. The Kenmore club was well filled with visitors all day Easter, its rooms and cafe being most liberally patronized. Messrs. Matthew Mitchell and J. H. Weaver, gave a swell dinner in the evening in honor of Miss Dora Lucas and her guest, Miss Josephine Hubbard, of Chicago, who left Thursday for Oberlin, to resume her studies in the Normal school. H. C. Jackson had as his guest on the same evening at the club, Mr. John Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Marcellis Early entertained there, Sunday, relatives and friends. Mr. Charles Norris is quite a club man. Harry A. Williams, the tenor, entertained at his studio Miss Cissy Loftus and Mr. Roland Buckstone, of the Southern company, and Messrs. Cole and Johnson, who were at the Empire, after the performance Friday evening, March 25. Miss Loftus was studying with M. Tosti, the composer and voice teacher, in London, last summer, when Mr. Williams was visiting there, and together they gave many a pleasant hour to their teacher and Madame Tosti. Mr. Will- iams furnished an impromptu luncheon and the time was event in the rendition of music and recitations. The Easter exercises at Cory chapel, Sunday evening, were thoroughly enjoyed by an audience that packed the house, the pastor, Rev. R. L. Dickerson, preached a very interesting and effective sermon in the morning. His plan for this year is to repair and beautify the church. The purchase of a parsonage is being considered. The first quarterly meeting will be held on the third Sunday of this month. At. 6:30 p. m., Sunday, the Epworth League praise meeting will be held. The Literary began a series of lectures on Wednesday evening. The Sabbath school is doing excellent work under the new superintendent, F. W. Corbin. The children are entitled to considerable praise for the excellent part they took in the Easter exercises, after only a week's practice. At a recent meeting of the committee in charge of the Charity ball, a sub-committee consisting of two or three members was appointed to advertise it and instructed to secure space in The Gazette. Welcome Blue called over two weeks ago and secured a rate and there the matter rested, nothing further being done. Tuesday evening the committee held a meeting and the matter was taken up. There was "somethin' doin'", Messrs. J. E. Reed, George W. Johnson and J. Walter Wills, three of the six persons present, put Messrs. Blue and Tom Fleming "on the rack" for the palpable failure to do the committee's bidding as ordered—and there was a hot time, the last two named individuals getting "a hot hauling over the coals." It is said that Blue blamed Fleming. Nevertheless both "got their callings" and will not soon forget them. As full an accounting as was possible at the time was demanded and secured. Then they proceeded to place the further management of the affair in Mr. Reed's hands, with the understanding that a thorough investigation into all the business done would be made later on. Good! The ball was held Thursday evening at the Forest Street armory. The crowd would undoubtedly have been much larger if the proper advertising had been done at the committee ordered.

Broadrax, a 17-year-old Afro-American, has been appointed valedictorian of the graduating class of the Plainfield high school, has met with the hearty approval of her classmates. When the announcement was made by Principal Ira W. Travell taut she had been selected by the board of education for her standing in the studies, the other pupils seized the first opportunity to personally congratulate her upon winning the honor. Among the members of the class are sons and daughters of the leading families in the city and the parents, many of them New York business men, have expressed approval of the course taken by the school authorities.

Toledo, O.—The conference of the Cleveland district of the A. M. E. church opened here Tuesday with Charles Bundy, P. E., in charge. In his opening address he said that race prejudice and true religion cannot abide in the same heart, and as a result religious development is being stifled. C. W. Price, of Kenton, spoke on the condition of the young. Rev. Fort, of Canton, blamed the Afro-American for imitating the vices of the white man. Routine business and an address of welcome by Mayor Jones took up the balance of the session. Prejudiced Fools Refuse to Face the Camera. Philadelphia, Pa.—The University of Pennsylvania dental school freshman class was having its picture taken on the steps of the library, recently. Two southerners, Fred Ratzburg, of Shreveport, La., and Eugene A. Smith, of Ellerslie, Md., objected to J. R. Francis, jr., of Washington, D. C., and J. L. Baxter, of Newark, N. J., being allowed in the group to pose for the photos. A class meeting was called and a vote resulted favorable to the Afro-Americans. The picture was then taken without Ratzburg and Smith—poor things. Was a Slave of Davy Crockett. Nashville, Tenn.—Henry Bradley, six feet and some inches tall, 86 years old and blind, appeared before Justice Dan G. Burke, April 1, to secure pension papers for services with the union army in the battle of the Crate, at Petersburg, where he was wounded. Bradley says he was a slave of Davy Crockett, one of the picturesque figures of Tennessee, whose life was ended at the Alamo; that he went to Mexico with his master, but before the Alamo battle was sent home by Crockett and thus escaped massacre.

Phone Main 914 THE FASHION WEEK Miss Hapgood tells how she was cured of Fallopian and Ovarian Inflammation and escaped an awful operation by using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:—I suffered for four years with what the doctors called Salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes) and ovaritis, which are most distressing and painful ailments, affecting all the surrounding parts, undermining the constitution, and sapping the life forces. If you had seen me a year ago, before I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and had noticed the sunken eyes, sallow complexion, and general emaciated condition, and compared that person with me as I am today, robust, hearty and well, you would not wonder that I feel thankful to you and your wonderful medicine, which restored me to new life and health in five months, and saved me from an awful operation."—Miss IRENE HAPGOOD, 1922 Sandwich St., Windsor, Ont. Ovaritis or inflammation of the ovaries or fallopian tubes which adjoin the ovaries may result from sudden stopping of the monthly flow, from inflammation of the womb, and many other causes. The slightest indication of trouble with the ovaries, indicated by dull throbbing pain in the side, accompanied by heat and shooting pains, should claim your instant attention. It will not cure itself, and a hospital operation, with all its terrors, may easily result from neglect. "DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:—I can truly say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words. "I will always recommend your wonderful remedies, and hope that these few lines may lead others who suffer as I did to try your remedies."—Mrs. T. C. WILLADSEN, R. R. No. 1, Manning, Iowa.

The tired-out feelings, You must reach the spot-get at the cause. In most cases'tis the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys. Charles Bierbach, stone contractor, living at 2625 Chestnut St., Erie, Pa., says: "For two years I had kidney trouble and there was such a severe pain through my loins and limbs that I could not stoop or straighten up without great pain, had difficulty in getting about and was unable to rest at night, arising in the morning tired and worn out. The kidney secretions were irregular and deposited a heavy sediment. Doctors treated me for rheumatism but failed to help me. I lost all confidence in medicine and began to feel as if life were not worth living. Doan's Kidney Pills, however, relieved me so quickly and so thoroughly that I gladly made a statement to that effect for publication. This was in 1898, and during the six years which have elapsed I have never known Doan's Kidney Pills to fail. They cured my wife of a severe case of backache in the same thorough manner."

Everybody should have a copy of Dr. Hartman's latest book on catarrh. Address The Peruna Medicine Co. Columbus, Ohio. Pe-ru-na is a Catarrhal Tonic Especially Adapted to the Declining Powers of Old Age. In old age the mucous membranes become thickened and partly lose their function.
