CLEVELAND. SATURDAY. MAY 7. 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. "Major" Taylor, the great, little world's champion cyclist, is certainly having his troubles in Australia. American prejudice has followed him even there. He is successfully coping with it, however. The republican majority in the United States senate's continued refusal to confirm the appointment of Dr. W. D. Crum as collector of the port at Charleston, S. C., would make trouble for the party this fall, were it not for the fact that President Roosevelt will head the ticket and our people appreciate his commendable stand in favor of fairness for all classes of citizens. His repeated appointment of Mr. Crum in the face of the senate's questionable failure to act in the case, is illustrative of the fair position the president maintains. More power to him! We are sorry the president did not "see his way clear" to appoint an Afro-American minister to Santo Domingo. He might have transferred Consul Greener from Vladivostok and given him the advancement, his good work, thus far as a diplomat entitled him to. Professor Greener is an exceptionally well educated, fine "looking" and able man, and would have made a splendid minister to the stormy little "colored" republic. Then there are others, many other Afro-Americans, who would have "filled the bill" at Vladivostok or Santo Domingo, and who are entitled to recognition, long deferred. Our Ravenna representative informs us that the two Afro-Americans of that place recently sentenced to five years each in the Ohio penitentiary for attempted chicken stealing, "were all the time in trouble of some kind" and had very bad reputations, having been imprisoned several times in the workhouse, and Mansfield reformatory (a branch of the state penitentiary) for misdemeanors and crimes. Under a state law, this fact resulted in the long sentences given them for their recent attempt at theft. They seem only to have been given what they have been industriously earning, "breaking" one law after another. The report of that Springfield, O., grand jury, specially empanelled for the purpose of investigating the recent infamous lynching and riot, has made its report, according to dispatches to daily newspapers. The outcome is exactly what we predicted—no results. Again we remind Governor Herrick that "it is now up to him." Surely his "sleuths," the attorney general of the state and his assistants, all of whom he sent to Springfield with a flourish of newspaper "trumpets" soon after the riot, have the information and facts so easily obtainable, upon which to base the action necessary to secure the conviction and punishment of the leaders of the mob. Newspaper interviews, governor, will not satisfy the great mass of law-abiding citizens of Ohio. Get busy! DEMOCRATS MUST CONDEMN JEFFERSON OR APOLOGIZE TO ROOSEVELT. During the recent session of congress Mr. Bartholdt, of Missouri, staggered his democratic colleagues upon undisputed evidence that Thomas Jefferson entertained Julius Melbourne at a formal dinner. Melbourne was a talented and well educated Afro-American whose general deportment won the respect of the best and eminent white people. The house had under consideration the amendments proposed by the committee on territories. In the discussion, learned gentlemen drifted away from the question before them. At least vindictive congressmen made the character and condition of the Negro the main question for the debate. They rolled it as a sweet morsel under their tongues. But although the house seemed to jubilate over a matter of so little import to the nation and the civilized world, one may be reminded of the Roman senate in its decline. At no period in our history has the lower house shown such a small degree of intellectual calibre. The question was on the admission of certain territories. It was proposed to admit them according to the equal terms of our federal constitution. The wisdom and dignity of the occasion demanded a statesmanship commensurate with that of our palmiest days, when the master-minds spoke and were heard. If a resolution was offered in which the Afro-American was involved it was treated in a manner that at once attracted the admiration and better judgment of the thinking masser. But how in reason can sheer vindictiveness, vilification and vituperation have any other force save that of degrading the national congress, and rendering it a hiss and a byword before a civilized world? Statehood was essentially the theme under consideration. Why then this petulant and brutal onslaught upon the Afro-American? The matter was to all intents and purposes plain enough. The constitution prescribes and provides for a fair and just admission of all the territories. How shocking to all human sensibility, that brave men and honorable gentlemen of a professedly Christian nation should for a moment think of perverting the great magna charter of the American people, and that, too, to get in a black-handed and villainous stroke against the Afro-American. It was a daring attempt for further encroachment upon the great written law of the land. It was the play of the assassin who stealthily sought to dethrone justice in furtherance of his own nefarious plans to induce insurrection and rebellion. Congressman Williams, of Mississippi, more bold than the rest, openly espoused the cause of a conspiracy, and plied the blow which revealed the fact that the fight was on, and that it was against the Afro-American. Like miscreants whose efforts were worthy a better cause, they resurrected the meaningless phrase of social equality and charged it again to the president of the United States as an attempt to place Afro-Americans in the parlors of white men. Was ever nonesense more supreme or can the human heart be guilty of a more audacious duplicity? And all this is done to rob the Afro-American of his constitutional liberty and to degrade him to the condition of a serf and a menial. But it is shown that the thing charged to President Roosevelt as a crime renders Thomas Jefferson a criminal by far, more guilty. Mr. Bartholdt adduced the astounding proof that Mr. Thomas Jefferson capped the climax by inviting Julius Melbourne to dine with himself, family and guests. Like a Daniel, Mr. Bartholdt presented his case, and like a Daniel he hushed the mouths of brawling men, while they sat chagrined and dismayed. For the noblest men of the time were convened at the home of Mr. Jefferson, and no one dared to offer an ungentlemanly or unchristian protest. On the contrary, there was a vein of sympathy felt for Melbourne, because of the promise he gave of a broad and growing manhood. Men were great in those times and desired rather to lift up humanity than crush it to death and the grave. But a brave and just man has dared to tell the truth and for this truth he has immortalized his name among living Americans. He has built for himself a monument which shall stand unimpaired with the ravages of time; for his utterances were such that Americans need not be ashamed, but must now condemn Mr. Thomas Jefferson or apologize to President Roosevelt. CHARGES AGAINST CONSULS. Missionary to Liberia Says Many Consular Officials Are Grossly Immoral. Washington, D. C.—Charges of gross immorality on the part of white consular officials located in Liberia, were made by Miss A. A. Klein, one of the speakers at the recent session of the Florence Crittenton mission, in a talk on "Preventive and Rescue Work for Girls in Africa." Miss Klein has been in Liberia as a missionary of the Lutheran church stationed at Muhlenburg, thirty-five miles from the capital, but almost infinitely removed, she explained, from the civilization of that city. She said foreign consuls, when on their way to the interior on business, frequently stopped at her mission station where she said they would speak lightly of their licentious excesses. Native women, she said, were regarded by these consuls as legitimate prey, criminal assault was common and in many instances unconcealed. Miss Klein declared the natives, at least in the vicinity where she was stationed, uphold a high standard of morals. Adultery is punished by stoning to death and the natives live closely according to the Mosaic laws. The conditions she described she said, had greatly impeded the work of the missionaries. Miss Klein specifically exempted the Rev. Ernest Lyon, the U. S. consul at Monrovia, the capital, from the charges made against the other consular (white) officials and paid a high tribute to him. Our People Get the Post Office. Guthrie, Okla.—Trouble is imminent in the Chickasaw nation, near Holder, as a result of the removal of the post office to Ran, a nearby Afro-American settlement. Our people in that section outnumber the whites and succeeded in getting the post office removed. The white population is southern and the office's removal was bitterly opposed. Numerous pitched battles have occurred and both sides are arming for the pending fray. The white people have ordered all their mail directed to Holder, thus cutting the Ran office out of that much mail. Crum Again Appointed. Washington, D. C.—President Roosevelt, immediately, upon the adjournment of the senate last week, directed the appointment of Dr. W. D. Crum as collector of customs at Charleston, S. C. The president has received positive assurance that the senate will take up Crum's case immediately on reconvening next session, and that it will be disposed of finally. Until he is confirmed, Crum cannot draw any salary, but it is said that his friends have arranged to see that he is provided with ample funds. Should he be confirmed, the government will pay him his back salary. Capt. Charles Young Military Attache. Washington, D. C.—It has been decided to send a military attache to Hayti and Santo Domingo, and for this duty Capt. Charles Young, Ninth cavalry, has been selected. That officer has been on duty at the presidio at San Francisco. He is a graduate of the military academy and possesses a fine record. Capt. Young is from Ripley, O Paying Teller—"What is your name, anyway?" Indignant Presenter of Check—"Don't you see my signature?" Paying Teller—"Yes.

Methodist General Conference Begins Work at Los Angeles, Cal. Los Angeles, Cal., May 5.—The thirty-first general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church opened at Hazard's Pavilion in this city Wednesday. When Senior Bishop Stephen M. Merrill walked to the front of the stage and rapped for order he faced one of the most notable gatherings of churchmen in the history of Protestantism in America. Seated in the auditorium proper were 798 representatives of Methodism gathered from the four quarters of the earth. The great building was a bower of beauty, fragrant with the bloom of California flowers. Fifteen thousand calla illies formed a hedge extending entirely across the front of the broad stage and beneath these a beautiful frieze work of smilax and ferns reached the floor. A. H. B13HOP STEPHEN MERRILL. Around the railings of the galleries, with flags and bunting for a background, the same scheme of decoration had been carried out, the whole forming a perfect bower beneath which the delegates sat. At the afternoon session Rev. James B. Hingley, of the Minnesota conference, was elected conference secretary. Last night the reception of the general conference by the citizens and churchmen of Los Angeles was held at the pavilion. Addresses of welcome by representatives of the state, city and church in southern California, and responses by prominent leaders in Methodism made up the program. RESULT OF STRIKES. Shipyards in Greater New York A:e Tied Up. New York, May 5.—All the large shipyards in the metropolitan district, except that of the Boston Dry Dock Co., in Brooklyn, and the yard of Titjen & Lang, in Hoboken, are tied up as the result of a strike of the Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Iron Shipbuilders of the United States and Canada. Five thousand boilermakers are involved and workmen of other trades may be affected. John McNeil, of Kansas City, international president of the boilermakers, authorized the strike. The organization is said to have $250,000 in its relief fund and the 12 local lodges are also well supplied with money. Beginning yesterday married men will be paid $7 a week and single men $5 a week, out of the strike fund. The yards and shops affected are those whose owners are members of the New York Metal Trades association, which body on Tuesday refused to grant the boilermakers' demand for the closed shop and the admission of walking delegates to all shops and jobs. Pittsburg, May 5.—A strike which is expected to extend to an international movement against the American Bridge Co. was ordered Wednesday by the local union of structural iron workers and bridgemen, and over 600 men in this district will go out today. The strike is called because the union claims 35 non-union men were put to work last Tuesday erecting a bridge for the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg road at Coral, Pa. This action, it is claimed, is a violation of the agreement to employ none but union men. Sam Parks Is Dead. Ossining, N.

Peterson, Mrs. Ida Posey and Mrs. Ella Peterson came from Salem, this week, to attend the funeral of their mother. If you have any paper-hanging or painting you want done, send for W. J. Adkins, No. 95 Marion street. See his ad in this paper. John F. Lightfoot, formerly of this city, now a resident of New York city, was here last Saturday and called on The Gazette. Mr. Lightfoot was one of The Gazette's founders. W. H. McNaughton, the caterer, has opened a neat restaurant near Sterling avenue, on Central avenue, and another will shortly be opened near Greenwood street, on Central avenue, James Scroggins, an Afro-American, city street sweeper, is worth $125,000 and works for $13.81 a week. He has always saved his money. He has a wife and 12-year-old daughter. Emmett Steward attempted to burglarize the True Reformers' bank at Richmond, Va., recently, was shot and killed by the bank's watchman. The True Reformers bore the expenses of his funeral. An error in our local columns last week prevented our announcing Mrs. James R. Snyder's illness. Mr. Snyder's complaint was as usual too gross an appetite and not the pneumonia his wife suffered with. Madam Emma French, of Mayflower street, has been seriously ill for two weeks, threatened with appendicitis. Her sister, Mrs. Hattie Brown, of Bowling Green, arrived last week and has been attending her. Clarence L. Williams, mentioned elsewhere in this paper, was given $50, costs and 60 days in the workhouse for obtaining passes and tickets from the Big Four railroad by false representations. A heavy sentence. Mr. Wm. Walden, of Westlake street, who recently arrived from an extended visit of many months in the south, has been quite ill the past week. His sister, Mrs. Julia Van Sickle, remains critically ill at the same residence. 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. A little girl baby, about seven months old, very light, bright and healthy—an exceptional child. Would like to find a suitable home for it. Also a boy baby, one month old, bright and healthy. Cleveland Protestant Orphan Asylum. W. Y. Ransom, formerly a resident of Cleveland, now of Pasadena, Cal., writes that he and his little child are well, and that he is to marry this month, a young lady, 26 years of age, formerly of Atlanta, Ga., his original home. He desires to be remembered to all his local friends. The pastor preached two able sermons at Antioch church, Sunday, to large congregations. The meetings of the week were also well attended. The monthly business meeting was held Thursday evening. The trustees reported that they had been able to purchase seven feet on the east for the new church building, the church of being too narrow. The supreme court of Illinois has declared in effect that an Afro-American can go to the public school nearest to his residence and is not obliged to go out of his way to a "separate" school. The decision reversed the opinion of a lower court that refused to issue an order on the common council at Alton, Ill., compelling it to allow an Afro-American pupil to enter the school nearest his home. "Hiawatha" was delightfully rendered at Woodliff hall, Wednesday evening, by a company of which Lewis E. Johnson, Austin A. Turner, Andrew Edwards, Dennis Fowler and the Misses Willa M. Shook, Emma Talbert and Florence Scott were the principals. It was given under the auspices of the club by that name. Mrs. Henry Taylor, president and Mrs. Mary Cyans, secretary. James Gee, of Williamsport, Indiana, died some weeks ago. Shortly before his death he sold a farm for $3,000 cash and also discounted a note, for which he received $1,000. After his death no trace of the money could be found. He left a will, but no relatives have asked for it to be probated. The Fountain Trust Company has been appointed administrator and an effort will be made to locate the money. "Although I am satisfied that you are guilty of burglary, you have been allowed to plead guilty of petit larceny in order to save your good wife from the suffering that she would endure should I send you to the penitentiary," said Judge Babcock Tuesday in sentencing Wm. Jones, who had admitted that he had broken into a Payne avenue store and stolen clothing valued at $15. Sentence 30 days; fine $50 and costs. C. N. Williams, 41 Laurel street, confessed in police court Tuesday to the operation of a system of grafting railroad passes. Williams had been arrested on a charge of obtaining property by false pretenses. By forging the name of Depot Master Hager to an order Williams secured a pass for two to St. Louis last week. That the order was bogus was accidentally discovered. The Big Four officials then found that Williams had secured five passes within a few weeks. Judge Whelan sent Williams to the workhouse. Carrington L. Davis, of Baltimore, Md., won a scholarship of $100 at Harvard University recently and has been elected to membership in the Harvard Classical club, the first of the race to be thus honored. Mr. Davis is a native of Baltimore county, is an alumnus of Morgan college, that city, and was occupying a chair in the faculty of his alma mater when he was given a leave of absence to pursue a post graduate course at Harvard. He will receive the degree of doctor of philosophy at the commencement in June. Morgan H. Brooks, 622 Central avenue, a waiter, imagining he was to be murdered, jumped through the second story window of his home to the sidewalk at 2:30 a. m. Tuesday. Patrolman McCarthy, who had been attracted by the breaking of glass, arrested Brooks. "There is a man and woman in the room next to mine who are trying to kill me," cried Brooks. "Take me away quick." McCarthy found no one in the room. Brooks then imagined the fire department and police had surrounded his home to catch his tormentors. Brooks was taken to the Fourth precinct station. He was turned over to the probate court Tuesday. Again has the state supreme court upheld Hon. H. C. Smith's Ohio civil law. See the outcome of Lewis E. Johnson's case against the Humphrey Popcorn Co., noted in a Columbus letter elsewhere in this paper. We commend to our people generally the manhood he has shown in fighting the case to the highest court in the state. Rah! for "Lewie!" Just as soon as more of our people, so insulted and denied the free exercise of their civil rights in public places, do a little more generally, as Mr. Johnson has done in this case, just so soon will the discrimination in public places as a result of color or race, or both, cease in this community. The main trouble is that too many Afro-Americans accept such mistreatment quietly and almost without protest, certainly without the right kind of protest. Correspondents Wanted. The old reliable Gazette desires an energetic and honest agent, and a good correspondent, in every city and town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents. We are especially desirous of hearing from persons in the following cities: Zanesville, Springfield, Galipolis, Cambridge, Lima, Toledo, Portsmouth, Circleville, Dayton, Delaware, Hamilton, Sandusky and other places where we have none. Write to the editor of the The Gazette, Blackstone building, Cleveland, O., and terms will be sent promptly. Our readers can oblige us greatly by sending at once the address of any good person or persons in any of the cities named above or others, to whom we can write relative to the matter. Buckingham-Dillard. Salem, O.—Rev. B. F. Combash, of Zion church, preached in Lisbon, Sunday.—Mr. Ed. Anhorn, of Beaver, was here last week.—Mrs. George Miller's baby is quite ill.—The Lady Knights held a social at Mr. John Greene's Saturday night. It was well attended.—Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Bingham have moved to East Fourth street.—Quarterly meeting at the A. M. E. church, Wednesday.—Mr. and Mrs. Anderson Peterson, Mrs. Ida Posey and Mrs. Ella Peterson, attended the funeral of their mother in Cleveland this week.—Mrs. Percy Buckingham and Mr. John Dillard were quietly married last Wednesday evening by Rev. Casper Stanley.—Mrs. Mary Thomas' two little girls are quite sick.—Mr. Will Mathews, of Columbus, is here visiting his parents.—Mr. Heaton Venable has gone to Ft. Wayne, Ind., to work. Walcott to Fight in Private. New York City.—Joe Walcott and Charlie Hitte (white) of Albany, have been matched to meet in a twenty-round bout in private on May 10 for a side bet of $2,000. Hitte has been defeating all the men he has fought during the last two years and his manager offered to match him against any man in the world at 142 pounds for a side bet of $1,000. Willie Pierce, of Boston, manager of Walcott, clinched the match for the latter. The fight will be held about ten miles from Albany and only about forty people will be permitted to see the contest. The Railroad Wins. Philadelphia, May 3.—The state supreme court holds that the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. is authorized "to make such lateral railroads or branches leading from the main line to such points in either of the counties into or through which the main line may pass, as the board of directors may deem advantageous and suited to promote the convenience of the inhabitants thereof and the interests of the company." The decision dissolves an injunction granted by the Chester county court which restrained the railroad from constructing a branch from Paoli to Thorndale. Keep your eye on Woodliff Hall News.

MARTH, the world-renowned and highly celebrated business and test TRANSO CLAIRVOYANT, reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business, Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, of absences, deceased and living friends. Removes all troubles and catarugements, unites the family, raises $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc., with description of future companion. She very accurately describes living islands, and provides upon sliness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation in valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double bell, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FREES will be written in an honest, clear and plain manner, and in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their busbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Macamie is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they never succeed. They are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success.

A muddy lake marks the spot in Maine where a big hill known as Bald mountain had stood out in bold relief for centuries and Is faken as \proof that the recent New England earthquake had its origin in north- ern Maine. A guide reports the transformation complete. Bald mountain was situated in Tibique valley, a few miles from the New Brunswick line. Natives who live near say they always thought the hill queer, because at the base were boiling springs so warm that one could not put his hand in them even in winter. Near by is a hill called Plaster rock, which furnishes plas- ter. This was recently analyzed and found to consist of merely melted rock and earth, and all this leads to the belief now that Bald mountain was the cone of a voleano, and when it sank caused what was then thought an earthquake.

It laid an icy grasp on the frames and shook them angrily, en- viously, because it could not enter and destroy the scene of comfort within. She was a jewel cf a landlady who would keep the fire burning for him so long, Herbert mused. “To keep the chill out,” Mrs, Williams had told him ‘once, and his words of thanks did not ‘fully convey his gratitude for her ‘mothering him. He lighted his redolent briarwood pipe, pulled the big leathern chair be- fore the fender, leaned back in its ‘depths and the luxurious folds of his lounging robe, His feet perched on the fender, for the fifth time since tha office closed that afternoon, he pulled out a dainty little blue linen envelope. He read his own name and address two or three times before he took out ‘the sheets within. “Round and firm, and—just like Mil- dred,” he mused. | He spread out the sheets.on his knes and read: | “Dear Herbert—We are having a glorious time trying to forget the snow find ice up north. ‘The weather is per- ‘fect, except for an occasional misty day, and outdoor, amusements are the rule with everybody. “IT am glad to know that business “will soon permit you to take a vaca- tion, Are you thinking of coming ‘south?

' Bicycles will go anywhere and we have determined to use them, see the coun- try thoroughly and get a healthy trop- ical tan. “Wire me if you can come. And if you can, be sure to bring your bicycle.

They always cor- responded when one or the other was | away. And in the past few months he had come to realize that he could ‘not live without her. ‘There had been /no vows, but since as children they had roamed the parks together on their bright, new bicycles, they had been conscious of a mutual exhilara- tion and joyousness in one another's presence. Yes, bicycles, and the intt- mate companionship they _ bring, “seemed strangely interwoven in their lives. | “We'll go wheeling, wheeling, wheeling Down the distance-dwindling pike; | Hearts a-feeling, feeling, feeling, | All the joy that’s in a bike.” | He had heard the doggerel parody of /a popular song somewhere, and thé lines continued to repeat themselves in drowsy fashion: “We'll go wheeling, wheeling, wheel—” His pipe fell from nerveless fingers One foot slipped from the fender. He and Mildred were resting on the sod beneath a towering palm tree. No! far off several people of their party were laughing and talking together. He saw the surf come rolling in not 2( yards away, dwindling from mighty waves to a smooth, even flow as they /reached the higher beach. Besid: ‘them were their bicycles. Cries of strange birds were heard, and a bright | plumaged fellow flew over their hedds and fluttered away inland. _ How beautiful Mildred was! She was looking straight into his eyes. And in ‘the big gray orbs he saw her soul “shining there. It was shining for him all for him! He knew it, and that was enough. “You ave mine,” he was saying. “Atl these years I have loved you, and waited for you. And now we mus} yart no more. Your life shall be my life, and mine shall be yours.” Out of the distance he heard the chime of bells. One—two—three—fou: —five—six—And still it rang. . The sleeper awoke with a start. Th: clock claimed his attention first, for it was striking 12. He rose quickly, and as he did so a telegraph blank on the table caught his eye. “Better write it mow and send the first thing in the morning,” he thought Rapidly his pencil traced the words: “Miss Mildred Halecomb, Hotel —— Palm Beach, Fla.—Be there Thursday with bicycle. Herbert.” Pigskin Grafted on Woman. By using the skin of a pig twe ee ee a a ee By using the skin of a pig twe months old the life of Mary Grant, a colored woman of Richmond, Va., has been saved. Some weeks ago the wom- an was <earfully burned about the body by the explosion of a lamp. Much of her skin was destroyed, and could not be replaced by neture. Efforts were made to get her relatives to supply the necessary cuticle for grafting, but they objected. The physician in charge then procured a yourg white pig, which was chloroformed, and enough of the mecessary hide removed and grafted on the woman. Pliny Was Too Slow. Here is another case where the poets have antedated the scientists, according to the New York Tribune. Dr. Fran- colini, of-Rome, Italy, has published a statement to the effect that the sourea of the Clitumnus, a small Umbrian river sacred to the Romans, may con- tain radium, basing his opinion on a description of Pliny and on passages in the works of many writers and po- ets, from Virgil toByron. The wa- ters at the source of the river are the color of violet. The matter ta being investigated by scientists. ONE DOLLAR WHEAT. Western Canada’s Wheat Fields Pro- duce It—Magnificent Yields—Free Grants of Land to Settlers, ‘The returns of the Inierior Depart- ment show that the movement of American farmers northward to Can- ada is each month affecting larger areas of the United States. Time was, says the Winnipeg Free Press, when, the Dakotas, Minnesota and lowa fur- nished the Dominion with the main, oulk of its American contingent. Last! year, however, forty-four states and districts were represented in the offi- cial statement as to the former resi dence of Americans who had home- 3teads in Canada. The Dakotas stillj head the list, with 4,006 entries, Min- hesota being a close second with 3,887, but with the exception of Alabama and, ‘Mississippi and Delaware every state in the Union supplied settlers who, in order to secure farms in the fertile prairie country of Canada, became citizens of, and took the oath of al- legiance to, the Dominion. Last year no less than 11,841 Americans entered for homestead lands in Canada. From the Guif to the Boundary, and from ocean to ocean, the trek to the Dominion goes on. Not only the ‘wheatgrowers of the central Mississip- pi valley, but the ranchers of Texas ‘and New Mexico, and the cultivators ‘of the comparatively virgin soil of Ok- lahoma, are pouring towards the pro- ductive vacant lands of the Canadian North-West. It is no tentative, half- hearted departure for an alien coun- try that is manifested in this exodus; it has become almost a rush to secure possession of land which it is feared, ‘by those imperfectly acquainted with ‘the vast area of Canada’s vacant lands, ‘may all be acquired before they ar- rive, Taere is no element of specula- tion or experiment in the migration. The settlers have full information re- ‘specting the soil, wealth, the farming ‘methods, the laws, taxation and sys- tem of government of the country to which they are moving, and they reai- ize that the opportunities offered in Canada are in every respect better and greater than those they have enjoyed in the land they are leaving. | Canada can well afford to welcome cordially every American farmer com- ing to the Dominion. ‘There is no question but that these immigrants ‘make the most desirable settlers ob- ‘tainable for the development of the prairie portion of the Dominion. Full information can be had from any au- thorized Canadian Governntept Agent whose address will be found elsewhere. An Animal Mirage.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dear Mrs. Pryxaw:— Gradual loss of strength and nerve force told me something was radically wrong with me. I had severe shooting pains throught the pelvic organs, cramps and extreme irritation com- pelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor said that I had ovarian trouble and ulceration, and advised an operation. Istrongly objected to this and decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I soon found that my judgment was correct, and that all the good things said about this medicine were true, and day by day I felt less pain and increased appetite. The ulceration soon healed, and the other complications disappeared and in eleven weeks I was once more strong and vigorous and perfectly well. “My heartiest thanks are sent to you for the great Sane have done me.”— Sincerely yours, Miss Marcarer Merx ey, 275 Third St, Milwaukee, Wis.
