ALBERTS TRADE COUNCIL GAVELAND 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. ALL ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Speeches were made in the recent congress and heralded over the country in startling announcement that a president dined with a Negro. The president in mention is known to be the leader of the great republican party and a friend of the common people. Southern democrats very specially have qualified at the "monstrous" idea that the president of the greatest nation on earth had done such a thing so revolting to the sense and taste of southern "gentlemen." True indeed that these southern paragons have themselves been guilty of some very naughty things in their relations with southern Negroes. All over the south land, white and black have domiciled under the same roof and have slept in the same beds together. They have done so by the eternal, and the proof is everywhere in evidence, speaking louder than words. And since the country has been so heartily entertained with multiplied protests against what President Roosevelt did or did not do, the country is again startled with the announcement that President Grover Cleveland absolutely did have a Negro to dine with him at the White House. Of course Mr. Cleveland could well afford to dine with a worthy Afro-American, for other presidents have done so before. Mr. Cleveland being of noble blood, of eminent worth and of that genuine, lofty bearing as a man, he could well appreciate excellence and worth in others, irrespective of race or nationality. As a nobleman and as a man of high culture, he could afford to do all that is charged to him. He had learned of the deeds of his illustrious predecessors and he knew much of the antecedents of the great men who had died that a nation might live. He remembered the great and peerless Washington; how he and his faithful slave, Primus, had tended together, had shared each other's hard lot, and how, on one occasion, the master and slave had only a scanty shelter. The mighty Washington lying down to rest, discovered after a short respite that his slave was sitting on a box content to see his master taking his rest. But Gen. Washington was too great and humane, and he could not sleep while his body servant slept upon a box. "Ah!" said Mr. Washington, "Primus, that will not do; come at once and share with me the covering of this blanket." "Oh, no! good general, please sleep on," said the servant. The master persisted and the slave desisted. "But you must," said Gen. Washington, "come right along and have part of this covering." Primus obeyed, for the night was cold, and soon the hero and the black man were enjoying the sweet slumber of the passing hours. Mr. Cleveland doubtless knew of the condescensions made by the "Father" of his country; he knew of his "great humanity of heart," and in hearty recognition of an act so genuine in kindness and so sublime in Christian bearing, he certainly felt that he could well afford to emulate an example given by "one of the greatest of great Americans." Great Americans only will dare to thus dignify God's humanity. They only can make these condescensions. Small men never dare. Small men act and live by their prejudices. UP-TO-DATE MEN Common sense constitutes the best panacea for the short-comings of human nature. The best intelligence can not subserve the needs of every emergency. The rank and file of mankind are mere pupils in the world's great school of learning. Yet there are those, who boast of being up to date in the sense that they have reached the acme of all learning and knowledge and that aside from themselves, all men are back numbers. What folly in the extreme that we so often find vain, and supercilious men, nay conceited simpletons, conceiving that they are up-to-dates, because some old fool has flattened them into the belief that they are wiser than the prophets. Some fellow in congress may have made a hit, some minister in the pulpit may have captivated his congregation, the politician may have carried a convention by storm, but does that prove anything beyond an ordinary fact? We talk about being up-to-date, but are we sure that we understand ourselves, and is it a fact that any man is living up-to-date? A person may be informed on one thing and ignorant of another. But to be an up-to-date man, we must be posted on all current matters, we must be ready reckoners, prompt to respond at a moment's call. No man is thus learned in the ways of the world. We may be well informed, but not upon all matters and another may be ignor- ant of some things and ready in others. We have no up-to-date men, according to the meaning of the phraseology. We hold, too, that no man is necessarily a back number, if he has a fair and liberal education. But we find even the ignorant and illiterate, who can not intelligently accentuate a word, yet seek to depreciate the attainments of the learned in order to magnify themselves into importance. Such presumption can not be tolerated by well-informed people. There is a class of big heads, too, who are noisy on this head, while in fact they can not analyze a complex sentence. Ask them to give the cause of the four seasons, or to trace the course of the blood through the human system, and they are as mute as the sphinx, so insensible to sound. It is a travesty upon reason and common sense, to hear that class of people spouting about an attainment that is beyond the ken of human reason. To be up-to-date, a man must be well-versed on all matters. His knowledge must embrace all learning. The classics and the sciences, both ancient and modern, must be at his command and he himself must be a walking encyclopedia, ready at an instant to spike the first gun, to lead in the onslaught against all ignorance and build his own monument in the perpetuation of a vast and horded wisdom. If he is not thus enlightened, he must shut up or cover his head in utter shame of his supreme presumption. It is a great deal to pride oneself of so much knowledge. To-day the Websters the Beechers, the Clays, and the Adams, might be styled back numbers, obsolete men, while these little pigmies aspire to be called up-to-date gentlemen. No man is a back number. Our country is flooded with men who are stupid enough to believe that they are sufficient in themselves to wield the imperial sceptre, yet have never learned what constitutes a government. It beats the world to witness the haughty arrogance of any class of people who are ever ready to decry the Negro, to laugh him to ridicule and scorn on account of enforced ignorance; while indeed, the mocker is as ignorant as the mocked. Each age reveals the fact that in the living present we may learn and hence we are all behind date. "LINCOLN" FUNDS GONE! Monument Project of 40 Years Ago, Long Since Forgotten, and Where-abouts of the $100,000 Secured by Popular Subscription Not Known—The Scheme Just Brought to Light Through Discovery of Old Records in Treasury Department. Washington, D. C.—Records unearthed in the office of the treasurer of the United States show that a fund of $100,000 was raised about 40 years ago to erect a monument to Lincoln. The money was raised by popular subscription, the design for the monument was accepted and then the project mysteriously dropped out of sight. What became of the $100,000 is not known. Most of the officers of the association formed to carry on the work have long since died, and those now living profess to have forgotten the very existence of the scheme. A package of blank "certificates" of the National Lincoln Monument association, which were receipts for $1 contributions, and a copy of the monthly journal of the organization are about all the documentary remains of the project that can now be found. Gen. Spinner, who was at the time treasurer of the United States, was treasurer of the monument association and among the men to whom the work was intrusted by the congressional act were Alex. P. Randall, Jas. Harlan, Alex. Ramsey, Nathaniel P. Banks, Jacob Benton, Shelby M. Cullom, John T. Benjamin, Horace Maynard and Rufus Mallory. The monument, as planned, was to have been erected in front of the capitol and was to have been of granite 70 feet in height, triangular in shape and surmounted by a heroic figure of the martyred president. Grouped about the base were to have been allegorical scenes dealing with slavery and the war, the bronze figures of which were to have been cast from captured cannon given by the war department. HOUSEHOLD PESTS. In connection with the desired absence of the dreaded bed-bug a writer in the June Delineator gives the sound if somewhat Irish advice that "special preparations must be made before his arrival." Beds are to be taken apart and washed at intervals with carbolic water, and "Dalmatian powder" freely inserted in the cranies. Frequently opening beds and bedclothes to the air and sunlight and all cleanliness, are also enjoined and the writer assures the housekeeper that "unless one lives in an apartment house and has undesirable neighbors" all will be well with her and her beds, as "bedbugs cannot thrive where cleanliness exists." Precautions against invasions of moths and silver bugs are also included in the article. As to moths, the writer says: "The principal thing is to use something that has a strong odor. Moths are overcome quickly by any powerful odor and will not enter a chest where it can be perceived." Turpentine is recommended as having a clean odor, not unpleasant in the attic, and much to be preferred to moth balls; and, best of all, by hanging the garments out of doors for half an hour the odor is removed entirely.

The Accident Occurred at the Shaft of the Big Muddy Coal and Iron Co. at Herrin, Ill.—Victims Badly Mutilated Carbondale, Ill., May 12.—In an explosion yesterday at the shaft of the Big Muddy Coal and Iron Co. in Herrin, five men were killed instantly, five seriously injured and 20 others slightly injured. The dead are: John Miller. Six kegs of powder awaiting sdlribution to the men of the day shift exploded, having been ignited, it is supposed, by the premature turning on of the electric current which operates the machinery of the mine. The bodies of the dead men were frightfully mangled. The mine was badly wrecked, making the rescue work difficult. Thirty-nine mules were killed. Luckily the majority of the miners were working in other parts of the shaft when the explosion occurred and were uninjured. They were thus able to assist with the rescue work. DEFIED THE INJUNCTION. Annual Meeting of the Supreme Council of the Bankers' Union was Full of Excitement. Omaha, Neb., May 12.—The annual meeting of the supreme council of the Bankers' Union of the World developed into a stormy session yesterday, during which the police were called to restore order and the sheriff served an injunction on Dr. E. C. Spinney, restraining him from transacting any business. After the reading of the report of President Spinney, Supreme Banker Swartz secured the floor, taking occasion to denounce Spinney and his method of conducting the business of the order. His denunciation brought a number of delegates to their feet who declared Swartz was out of order. Dr. Spinney, who presided, called upon the police to eject Swartz, but the latter sat down and avoided trouble. At this juncture, and just as Chairman Spinney called for nominations for president, Sheriff Power appeared and served an injunction on Spinney and a number of his associates, who were restrained from taking further action in the election of officers and from the voting of proxies. Dr. Spinney at once appointed Ezra Howard chairman, and himself retired to a seat with the delegates. Howard continued the session, proceeding with the election. It resulted in the re-election of President Spinney. BOTH SIDES SATISFIED. The Nelson-Oelrichs-Vanderbilt Suit Settled Without a Trial. New York, May 12.—By consent of the plaintiffs, the action against Mrs. Theresa Oelrichs and Mrs. Virginia Vanderbilt, brought by Hannah E. Nelson, mother of Mrs. Charles L. Fair, was dismissed here yesterday by State Supreme Court Justice Bischoff. A final judgment was rendered in favor of the defendants. Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Fair were killed in an automobile accident in France in 1902. In a statement issued after the judgment had been entered, the attorneys for Mrs. Nelson and her family made it known that a settlement satisfactory to both sides had been effected. They announced also that by common consent of the persons interested the sum paid in final settlement would not be made public. Says $150,000 was Spent Illegally. Buffalo, N. Y., May 12. At a meeting of the board of councilmen yesterday the committee appointed to consider President John J. Smith's charge that $200,000 of the city's money had been "squandered" or illegally expended, made its report. The report says that the $150,000 paid out by the city for police protection at the Pan-American exposition grounds during the summer of 1901 was expended illegally, the city having no more right to pay for a police force for the Pan-American exposition, a private corporation, than they have to organize and pay for a police force for any other private corporation. Morris Killed 17 American Moros Killed 17 Americans. Manila, May 12.—Lieut.

RESERVED SEATS, 5) CENTS This being Miss Underwood's first appearance the management have spared no pains to make it a concert out of the ordinary. At World's Fair is an Afro-American, a Former Harvard Student. Manila, P. I.-No feature of the Philippine exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase exposition, St. Louis, is expected to create a more profound impression than the musical contributions of the Constabulary band. There are 82 members in the organization, and if the judgement of the most competent musical critics in these islands is sustained, the band will prove not only one of the most interesting, but one of the most excellent at St. Louis. The band was organized a little over two years ago, and is composed exclusively of natives, with the single exception of the leader, Lieut. W. H. Loving, an Afro-American. The reed section of the band is exceptionally strong, both as to numbers and the ability of the performers. Lieut. Loving is about 30 years of age. He is a native of Minnesota, was a student in a special class at Harvard, and graduated from the Boston Conservatory of Music with honors. He came to the Philippines as a captain in one of the first volunteer regiments to reach here in 1898 and distinguished himself in several engagements. When his regiment was mustered out he returned to the United States and for a time served in a clerical capacity in the war department under Gen. Bates. He finally returned to Manilla, at the request of the civil government, intrusted with the organization of the band, of which he has since been leader. Although an exceptional reader of the most difficult music, Lieut. Loving asserts that there is not a man in the band that cannot read at sight equally as well as he can. This is remarkable in view of the fact that few of them have had any opportunities for study, and speaks volumes as to the inborn talents of the natives. AN ABDUCTION STORY. It Is Told by an American Girl Who Went to France. Paris, May 12.—United States Consul General Gowdy recently received a letter from an American girl saying that she was locked up in a provincial jail without any charge having been made against her. The consul general sent a representative to the jail and secured the girl's release and return to Paris. He then cabled to her parents, residing at Decatur, Ga., requesting funds for her return to America. The girl related a sensational story. She claimed to have been abducted by an American seeking to marry her and said she accompanied him on an automobile tour, was locked up in a room in a country hotel, escaped and attempted to walk across the country, but was arrested as a wanderer by the French authorities. Inquiries made by Mr. Gowdy's representative established the correctness of her detention at the provincial jail, but the story of her abduction was not verified. Atlanta, Ga., May 12.—Investigation develops the fact that the young woman referred to in the dispatch from Paris is Miss Bell Crane, of Decatur, Ga., who went to London about a year ago to give concert readings. Miss Crane was well known here. Her father is D. S. Crane, who holds a prominent position with the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co. He heard nothing from his daughter for several weeks, but about eight days ago, in response to a cablegram from Consul General Gowdy that Miss Crane was in Paris and wished to return home, he cabled $200 to pay the expenses of her return passage.

Edwards, chief of the insular bureau of the war department, has received from Mayor Collins, of Boston, a reply to a letter he wrote regarding the entertainment of 50 Filipino representatives who will visit eastern cities, saying that the municipality of Boston will not entertain such a delegation. Mayor Collins says that the delegation represents purely commercial bodies and that any courtesies should be extended by commercial organizations. Japs Celebrated. St. Louis, May 9.—Japanese at the world's fair yesterday celebrated the recent victories of Japan's arms in the war with Russia.

Thanksgiving services of local Odd Fellows were held at Mt. Zion church Sunday at 3 p. m., Rev. J. S. Jackson, the pastor, preaching an in- teresting sermon, The organizations participating in the exercises were: Ohio and Charles Sumner lodges, about 150 in number; Naomi and Unity Households of Ruth, 50 in num- ber. The ladies made exceptionally fine appearances with new additions to their regalias. This was particu- larly true of Unity Household, whose dress regalia was the first Cleveland has ever seen, and really beautiful. This speaks volumes for the younger organization. The committee of ar- rangements is entitled to praise for excellent work. C. P. Lancaster, of Collinwood, was master of cere- monies. | Geo. Gross, 13, 600 Central avenue, pinned under a street car and terri- bly crushed, talked to firemen of truck No. 7, who were trying to lift ‘the car from the tracks and rescue ‘the lad. Gross jumped off the rear end of a wagon as it passed the corner of Central avenue and Lynnhurst court last week Friday noon. He landed in the middle of the-car track and a Central avenue car knocked him down, dragging him 20 feet. When the car was stopped, Gross’ body was tightly pinned under the trucks, and the street car men were unable to release him. Truck com- pany No. 7 was called and worked 10 minutes before the boy was rescued. At Charity hospital, where he was taken in Hogan’s ambulance, the boy said to one of the doctors: “I’ve a good constitution.” Both legs had been crushed and were amputated. Both arms were fractured and three ribs broken. The East End Social Whist club gave their first annual banquet at Woodliff hall Thursday evening, April 28. Nearly 150 guests were present. ‘The hall was very prettily decorated and the orchestra furnished music from behind a screen of palms, ferns and roses. In the center of the hall was a pyramid of smilax, roses and palms. The grand march was led by Mr. Walter Calhoun and Miss Mattie Williams. At 11:30 the guests re- tired to the banquet hall, where the midnight luncheon was served. Of- ficers and members are: President, Matthew Mitchell; vice, Pearl Hen- derson; secretary, Flora Corom; assistant, Emma Tillman; treasurer, Anna Howard; sergeant-at-arms, Steve Bell; business manager, Chas. A. Boyd; reception committee: chairman, Mattie Williams, Dora Lu- cas, Bertha Smith, L. Payne, Nelson Morgan, Della Williams; members: Ida Henderson, May Goode, Francis Allen, Lilly Brooks, Arty Reed, Le- roy Douglass, Dan and-Harry Mont- gomery, William Brantly, John Elli- ott, Arthur Ramsey, Charley Wilson, James Hansberry, Dennis McDonnel and T. Jenkins, Geo. Gross, the 12-year-old lad who was struck by a Central avenue car last week Thursday, will probably recover, but he will be a helpless citpple all his life. The surgeons at St. Vincent’s hospital amputated both legs, one at the ankle and the other below the knee. Next they set three ribs and the right arm, which had been fractured. A number of cuts in the head were, sewed. Monday the boy was resting easily and gaining strength perceptibly. Illustrative of ‘his wonderful “nerve” and_ vi- tality is a little incident that oc- curred during the day. It seems that nearly every one who calls to see the brave, little Jad, leaves him pen- nies on their departure. Some of these fell on the fluor Monday after- noon near his bed and were being gathered by another little fellow who wanted some pennies, too. Reaching out with the only good limb he had left, George grasped the boy and held him, all the while crying aloud: for the nurses and “sisters,” who came to hjs relief, rescuing the pennies. This is most remarkable when one remembers the boy’s condition, and also.the fact that in order to seeure perfect quiet and have him lie still in bed, the doctor had told him that his tongue would bleed if he moved his head. The nurses and _ sisters both warned him against a repetition of the act, assuring the lad that it might cost him his life. He contin- ued to improve all day Tuesday. | Correspondents Wanted. _ The old reliable Gazette desires an ‘energetic and honest agent, and a _ good correspondent, in every eity and ‘town in Ohio and neighboring states having a number of Afro-American residents.

A feud, as shown by the evidence in the case, exists between the Johnson. Vena and Cottrill factions of our peo- ple here. Johnson’s counsel gave no- tice of exceptions to the decision, and announced their intention of prosecut- ing the case to the common pleas court.

KANE, OF CHICAGO. AUBREY HODSON, Lansing, Mich. 4 Mrs. K. Kane, 173 Sebor Street, Chicago, Ill., writes: "Peruna has been used so long in our family that I do not know how I could get along without it. I have given it to all of my children at different times when they suffered with croup, colds and the many ailments that children are subject to, and am pleased to say that it has kept them in splendid health. I have also used it for a catarrhal difficulty of long standing and it cured me in a short time, so I have every reason to praise Peruna."—Mrs. K. Kane. Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House hold Against Catarrhal One of the greatest foes with which every family has to contend is our changeable climate. To protect the family from colds and coughs is always a serious problem, and often impossible. Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate of every one to catch cold. Care in avoiding exposure and the use of proper clothing will protect from the frequency and perhaps the severity of colds, but with the greatest of precautions they will come. This is a settled fact of human experience. Everybody must expect to be caught somewhere or somehow. Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a draught, or damp clothes, or it may be one of a thousand other little mishaps, but no one is shrewd enough to always avoid the inevitable catching cold. There is no fact of medical science better known than that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Thousands of families in all parts of the United States are protected from colds and catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family Peruna always stays. No home can spare Peruna after the first trial of it.

Hobson, 225 Washington St., Lansing, Mich., writes: "Peruna has been such a blessing to my only child, as well as myself, that I feel induced to give my testimonial. He has always suffered from catarrh of the head and throat, and I had to use extra precautions so as not to have him exposed to damp or cold weather. Last year he was taken with la gripe, and as it was a severe case, caused me much anxiety. No medicine helped him till he took Peruna. I noticed an improvement at once and in three weeks he was a different child; the gripe had been completely cured and I noticed that the catarrh was made better. He kept taking it two weeks longer, when he was entirely well. I now use it off and on for colds, cramps, indigestion or general indisposition, and find it superior to any doctors or medicine I ever tried. It keeps me, as well as my child, in perfect health, and I gladly recommend it to mothers."—Mrs. A. Hobson. We have on file many thousand testimonials like the ones given above.

Emperor William's Recreations Are Taken Up in Preparing Statistics for Reichstag. One of Emperor William's recreations on board the Hohenzollern is work on statistical tables about the natives of Germany, England and the United States. When he returns to Berlin he will present these tables in suitable showcases to the reichstag. He is particularly anxious to show the people's representatives that, although the growth of the German navy has been accelerated, it must be hastened still more if it is to keep pace with the American navy. The emperor is convinced that he has far better material to man his ships than exists in America. The men of the coast districts along the Baltic and the North seas are unsurpassed, in his estimation, as naval material. The number of men in the German fleet at present is 32,053, next year it will be 34,482 and at the close of 1906, 40,000 trained, reliable men. For a long time the Russian and the Japanese navies chiefly concerned Emperor William as a basis for comparison; now it is the American navy. Pigskin Grafted on Woman. By using the skin of a pig two months old the life of Mary Grant, a colored woman of Richmond, Va., has been saved. Some weeks ago the woman was fearfully burned about the body by the explosion of a lamp. Much of her skin was destroyed, and could not be replaced by nature. Efforts were made to get her relatives to supply the necessary cuticle for grafting, but they objected. The physician in charge then procured a young white pig, which was chloroformed, and enough of the necessary hide removed and grafted on the woman. A Young Mayor. The little city of Solon, Ia., has made itself conspicuous by electing to office by the narrow margin of 23 votes the youngest mayor in the state. This man is Joseph Bittner, 25 years old, who has already served one term of two years. The narrow margin of his victory does not look so small, when it is considered that there were only 116 votes cast for both candidates. IN AN OLD TRUNK. Baby Finds a Bottle of Carbolic Acid and Drinks It. While the mother was unpacking an old trunk a little 18 months old baby got hold of a bottle of carbolic acid while playing on the floor and his stomach was so badly burned it was feared he would not live for he could not eat ordinary foods. The mother says in telling of the case: "It was all two doctors could do to save him as it burnt his throat and stomach so bad that for two months after he took the poison nothing would lay on his stomach. Finally I took him into the country and tried new milk and that was no better for him. His Grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts, and I am thankful I adopted the food for he commenced to get better right away and would not eat anything else. He commenced to get fleshy and his cheeks like red roses and now he is entirely well. "I took him to Matamoras on a visit and every place we went to stay to eat he called for Grape-Nuts and I would have to explain how he came to call for it as it was his main food. "The names of the physicians who attended the baby are Dr. Eddy of this town and Dr. Geo. Gale of Newport, O., and anyone can write to me or to them and learn what Grape-Nuts food will do for children and grown-ups too." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A recent issue of the Shelbyville, Illinois, Democrat contains a long and interesting letter from Mr. Elias Kost, formerly a prosperous farmer of that state, who recently emigrated to Western Canada, taking up a claim for himself and for each of his three sons. From Mr. Kost's letter, which was written Feb. 3, 1904, we publish the following, believing it will prove of great interest to those who have contemplated settling in the Canadian North west: "I had in August, 1902, secured a claim for myself, and filed on three quarter sections for my sons. My claim is one-half mile south of the Edmonton and Lake St. Anne trail. "Coming so late in the season we had little opportunity to break and to prepare ground for a first year's crop, still we raised over 100 bushels of very fine potatoes, and sowed a few acres of barley, but the season was too far advanced for the barley. However, we secured good feed from it, and on rented ground 18 miles east of us, raised a fine crop of oats, so that we will have plenty of feed for horses. We cut about 60 tons of hay and thus will have an abundance. We have, all told, about 240 acres of hay meadow, which would yield the past year over three tons to the acre, and in an ordinary season the meadow would furnish 600 tons of hay. The grass is very nutritious, and cattle on the ranges become very fat without being fed a pound of grain. "On the upland the grass grows from eight to ten inches tall. This is called range grass, and is suitable for stock at any time, even in the winter when the ground is not covered too deep with snow. Horses subsist on it alone, at all times, provided they are native stock. The grass in the hay meadows here is called red-top, and grows from five to six feet in length, and when cut at the proper time yields an abundant crop of nutritious hay. "Our cattle have not cost us a cent since we came on our homestead, only the small outlay for salt and labor in putting up hay and shelter. All cattle have been doing well this winter, and feeding up to the first of January was unnecessary, as there was good range up to that time. "All the snows up to that date were followed by winds from the northwest that melts it very rapidly; these winds are called Chinook winds, and are always warm. In one night a Chinook wind may take away three or four inches of snow. "We have built on our claim a comfortable house of hewn logs, 20x26 feet, one and one-half stories in height, with a good cellar. During the latter part of June we rafted logs down the Sturgeon to a sawmill, about eight miles away, and thus secured 5,000 feet of good lumber which was needed for the house. Later in the season a shingle mill located six miles away. To this we hauled logs and had shingles cut for the roof. "We had an abundance of wild fruit the past season, consisting of gooseberries, strawberries, raspberries, eyebberries, blueberries, cherries and saskatoons. The latter are a fine looking berry, red, and quite pleasant to the taste, but not much to be desired in cookery. The strawberries are the same as those that grow wild in Illinois. Raspberries are red in color, large and equal to any of the tame varieties, and so are the gooseberries. The cranberries consist of the high and trailing varieties. The latter are most sought and contiguous to the swamps. The ground is literally covered with them as with a red carpet, but the best and most sought is the blueberry, so called by the Indians. This is the famous 'huckleberry' (whortleberry) of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Pennsylvania, and cannot be excelled for excellence by any fruit cultivated. It is found here both on the prairie and in the timber in immense quantities. "Game is very plentiful so far as prairie chickens, pheasants, ducks of all kinds, and geese are concerned. We have taken nearly 500 chickens and pheasants, also a great many ducks. "An occasional deer is seen, but are not plentiful, only one having been taken during the season in this settlement. "Fish are very plentiful at all seasons of the year. Fish wagons and sleds are passing almost daily along the trail with heavy loads of fish, destined for St. Albert and Edmonton. From the latter point they are shipped south on the Calgary and Edmonton railroad to points along the line, and also to Insinboia, on the Canadian Pacific railroad."

GIBRALTAR DECLARED WEAK Impotency of Fortress at Port Arthur Causes Inquiry as to Strength of Famous Rock. Inquiries of an exhaustive character are being made by British officials as to the safety of Gibraltar. The impotency of the fortress at Port Arthur has reopened the question of the rock's invulnerability and the recent manuevers in Gibraltar bay, although officially declared to have ended in favor of the fortress, have revealed great weaknesses. Gibson Bowles, one of the special commissioners who visited the rock and reported adversely on the position of the new docks, said: "In any peace maneuvers a fortress will always win against a fleet. So much is allowed for the assumed strength of a fortress that the fleet usually comes off second best in tests." Mr. Bowles does not pose as a naval expert, but he attaches little importance to the decisions of umpires. On the return of Maj. Gen. F. G. Slade, who has watched the maneuvers on behalf of the war office, he will present some valuable evidence to the army council; but without waiting for this testimony the authorities seem anxious to strengthen the defenses of the rock, especially as regards the heavy guns, for which £24,000 has been voted. A Foreign Danger The experts of the bureau of chemistry, department of agriculture, have found plentiful evidence that the basic aluminum acetate is the secret of the preservation of the imported sausage. As this aluminum salt is indigestible and harmful, even in small quantities, says the New York Tribune, the line will be drawn with increased firmness against the embalmed sausage. GREAT GATHERING. GREAT GATHERING. Nearly 800 Delegates in Attendance. Thirty-first General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Session at Los Angeles, Calif. Los Angeles, Cal., May 9.—Bishops, ministers and presiding elders in attendance upon the Methodist general conference, occupied pulpits in Protestant churches in Los Angeles, Pasadena and all the surrounding cities and towns within a radius of 60 miles yesterday, and every place of worship was crowded at morning and evening services to listen to distinguished speakers. Los Angeles, May 10.—The attitude of the Roman Catholic church toward the public school system of the United States furnished the subject of an excting debate at Monday's session of the Methodist Episcopal general conference. While there was a strong disposition on the part of certain delegates to have the conference adopt resolutions committing it to decided utterances on the subject, an overwhelming sentiment developed against such action, and the question was finally referred to a committee. Los Angeles, May 11.—The sixth day of the general conference of the Methodist church was mostly taken up by addresses by fraternal delegates. No business other than the presentation of a few resolutions and their reference to committees was taken up. Los Angeles, May 12.—Practically no business was transacted by the Methodist general conference yesterday. The session was devoted entirely to consideration of the report of the committee on rules. The present outlook is that the heresy charges which have been made against several individuals high in the councils of Methodism are destined to provoke a spirited conflict among the delegates to the general conference. The committee on education has appointed a sub-committee which will have consideration of this important matter. The question whether this sub-committee should have power to call for persons upon whose testimony will be decided the charges of heresy, and for papers bearing upon the subject evoked a vigorous contest in the main committee. After much debate the sub-committee was finally voted the power of a board of inquiry and will hear all the evidence bearing upon the subject. Memorials on these charges have been received from the Columbia River, Southern Illinois and Swedish conferences, asking for an examination into the orthodoxy of books in use in Methodist schools and of the professors in several of the faculties. Members of the Rock River conference sent a memorial asking the board of bishops to refuse to confirm the appointment of professors whose orthodoxy there was reasonable ground for doubting. TRUSTEES HELD MEETING. New York, May 10.—The board of trustees of the McKinley National Memorial association at a meeting here Monday accepted the report of the advisory commission of experts appointed some time ago in which the recommendation was made that a limited and paid competition should be instituted for the selection of an architect. From those who had already submitted designs the commission chose the following names: E. Casey, Wilkinson & Macgonegal, A. R. Ross and Guy Lowell. Six other names will be added by the commission and from the ten an architect will be chosen. Memorial resolutions relative to the death of Senator Hanna, who was the vice president of the commission, were adopted. The board voted to present a copy of the memorial properly engrossed to Mrs. Hanna. It was announced, at the conclusion of the meeting, that the sum so far obtained for the McKinley memorial exceeds $550,000 and that subscriptions are constantly coming in. A. State Primary Election Jacksonville, Fla., May 11.—In the primaries held throughout the state yesterday every official elected by the people or the legislature or appointed by the governor and every delegation hitherto nominated by conventions, was voted for. In some of the counties more than 140 names were on the ticket and the count in the larger precincts will not be finished before noon. The indications from the few precincts in which the count has been completed point to the renomination of James P. Taliaferro for the United States senate. Robert W. Davis leads for governor, but a second primary seems probable for this position. A Famous Doctor Dies. Philadelphia, May 11.—Dr. Robert Bartholow, the eminent physician and emeritus professor of materia medica in Jefferson medical college, died at his home here last night. Dr. Bartholow, who was born in Maryland, in 1831, was dean of the Ohio medical college at Cincinnati from 1864 to 1879. Milan, Kan., May 10.—While fording the Chikaska river, one mile north of here, a wagon containing W. Hanlan, wife and five children, was overturned. The woman and three children were drowned. Mr. Hanlan rescued two children. Miners' Strike to be Settled. Denver, Col., May 10.—It was announced Monday at the office of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. that the southern Colorado coal field strike would be settled by June 1, concessions being made by both the operators and strikers.

Gillespie's Trial Begins. Rising Sun, Ind., May 10.—The case of James Gillespie, charged with the murder of his sister, was called Monday and the work of impaneling a jury was begun. One hundred and ten witnesses have been summoned. A. A prominent club woman, Mrs. Danforth, of St. Joseph, Mich., tells how she was cured of falling of the womb and its accompanying pains and misery by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Life looks dark indeed when a woman feels that her strength is fading away and she has no hopes of ever being restored. Such was my feeling a few months ago when I was advised that my poor health was caused by prolapsus or falling of the womb. The words sounded like a knell to me, I felt that my sun had set; but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound came to me as an elixir of life; it restored the lost forces and built me up until my good health returned to me. For four months I took the medicine daily, and each dose added health and strength. I am so thankful for the help I obtained through its use."—MRS.

When He Resorts to the "Brogue" Andrew Can Get the Best of Them Balled Up. Though Andrew Carnegie's English is singularly elegant and pure, he has at his command a weird Scotch dialect, says the Minneapolis Tribune. Mr. Carnegie is a student of Scotch words and idioms. He likes to point out the oddities and freaks of his native tongue. Recently, at a dinner party in New York, he said to a young woman: "So you think you can understand Scots, eh? Well, then, what do we mean in Scotland when we say a person is just fish?" "I don't know. What do we mean?" the young woman asked. "We mean he is a bit of a weed harum-scarum," said Mr. Carnegie. "A weed harum-scarum? What is that?" "It is the same as wowf." "But what is wowf?" "Wowf is nook* or sal. That is to say, a bit by the east. Havers, lassie, ha'e ye no Scots at all?" Then Mr. Carnegie laughed and explained that a weed harum-scarum, and fifish, and wowf, and nook, and sal, and by the east all signified one thing, "crazy." THE NEPHEW CAUGHT ON.

He will have no lights in his house except candles, and the lone candle in his sitting-room is not burned at night when he is talking to visitors and is not compelled to have a light. "The old man has a nephew who makes the money fly. A short time ago he called on his uncle at night. While they were talking the old man blew out his candle. "What did you do that for?" the youngster asked. 'Why, we don't need the light while we are tacking,' the uncle replied. we are talking, the uncle replied. "While the uncle was talking earnestly the boy began to shuffle about in the dark. Much annoyed by the interruption, the old man said: 'What are you doing?' 'Only just taking off my trousers,' the boy replied. 'I don't need them in the dark and want to keep from wearing them out.'" How to Clean Laces.
