The Gazette

2 TRADE STREET COUNCIL CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 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. The best account of the past week's K. P. state meet published in local daily papers appeared in the Cleveland Leader. We are indebted to that strong and leading republican newspaper for the cut illustrating the parade, used on our first page to-day. Mr. S. F. Meek, its manager, is a local revelation when it comes to courteousness, and obliging brethren of the press. The Sir Knights and ladies of the several state organizations of the Knights of Pythias, held their annual business and social sessions in this city, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the past week and by their individual and collective conduct and showing reflected credit not only upon the order and its auxiliaries but also upon our people of Cleveland, Ohio and the country. Their short stay in the city has been beneficial to all concerned, and even to those of the many other classes, residents of Cleveland, who saw them as they passed to and fro throughout the city as individuals and in the very pleasing parade demonstration of Tuesday afternoon. Nothing but praise was heard on all sides from representatives of the various classes and it is a source of a great deal of gratification to our people of Cleveland, and especially The Gazette. Such occurrences very materially assist in the molding of proper and better race estimates upon the part of other classes or the other race. General felicitations are in order. LIBERIA NOT DESIRABLE We are candid in the belief and we are fully satisfied that Liberia is not the ordained place for Afro-Americans. Colored men of America may emigrate, they may find homes in foreign lands and like other nationalities may found empires or establish republics. But, we repeat what we have reiterated scores of times: Liberia is not in any more respect adapted to the life of Afro-Americans than it is for any other people. We are acclimated and constituted by nature to American soil and American life which is at direct variance with the condition and things in Liberia. Is it reasonable then to believe that the American nature could thrive and prosper upon a soil with the powerful odds against them? Some of the best men of our race have already made the experiment and have signally failed to establish the proof. Paul Humphreys, Sheridan Leary, Osbourne Stanley and other strong leaders have ventured upon those shores only to sacrifice life. Henry Highland Garnett, Moses Hopkins, United States ministers, and others have paid the penalty of their lives in the endeavor to induce emigration to the young republic. Thousands of our men have gone from parts of the southern states to secure homes in Liberia, but the result has been that thousands have died while thousands have returned in penury and want, only too glad to escape the terrible conditions to which they were subjected. Very gladly would we offer a different view of the situation, but we are in duty bound to submit facts and despite the adverse state of affairs in America against the hapless Afro-Americans, we insist that Liberia in not the place for the American Negro. We live to improve the conditions of life, but since conditions are not made better by going to that country, we may as well remain where we are. The promise of better conditions is not even afforded, from the fact that against struggle and trial Liberia has attained slight progress in the years of her growth and development. We have no disposition to undervalue whatever advantages may be offered by the republic of Liberia to the people of this country. We would, if consistent with right and duty, amplify her inducements, but climatic conditions and labor compensation as well as social life impel us to oppose the emigration of an aspiring and progressive element who can do more for the advancement of their people the world over than they can ever do in Africa. Dr. Jordan's heart-rending letter from Africa, published in our issue of June 18, only strengthens the position we take. Let our people go into the great northwest, if they desire to better their condition, in response to an invitation from a member of the race who is already on the ground and doing well. Frank E. Dixon, of Farihault, Minn., told of millions of acres of cheap land, which can be purchased per acre at less than the average half month's rent paid by the poorest of car people. This land, cleared or otherwise as desired, is fertile, in a section where all men's rights and privileges are alike respected and secure to them under the law, and where towns and cities are not far distant as well as being in what is possibly the healthiest section of the country. Mr. Dixon urged our people to address him relative to the lands in question and volunteered to give all persons making inquiries the information desired without expense of any kind. If it must be emigration, go to the northwest rather than to Africa. FORD-HARRIS. A Narrow Escape from Fire—Kicked by a Horse and Seriously Injured— Social, Lodge and Personal Notes.

Chicagoans Who Are Alleged to Have Sold Tickets Are Arrested. Chicago, June 28.—An alleged lottery scheme which is said to have netted its operators hundreds of thousands of dollars annually was disclosed Monday when the Manhattan Exchange bank, situated at 150 La Salle street, was entered by United States marshals who arrested John H. Dalton, politician, and L. A. Gourdain on warrants sworn out in the United States district court by postoffice detectives. The warrants charge that lottery tickets were sent out of Illinois by the Manhattan Exchange bank in violation of the inter-state commerce law. When the prisoners were arraigned before United States Commissioner Foote, the hearing of their cases was set for July 7. Both furnished $5,000 bonds. Dalton is well known in the federal courts for his connection with lottery concerns in the last few years, having paid fines aggregating several thousand dollars. Large quantities of advertising matter found in the "bank" were seized and will be used as evidence. A Decision in Favor of Miners. Scranton, Pa., June 30.

Brooks, of Columbus, was in the city the past week and like hosts of other visitors called on The Gazette. Mr. Marchant, of Washington C. H., an old newspaper man, was a K. of P. visitor this week. He is one of our leading men of his city. Messrs. Ernest Redmun, of Wellsville; Thomas Hill, of Cincinnati, and Mr. John White and sister, of Springfield, were here the past week. The King's Daughters are preparing to stage a melodrama, entitled "The Last Loaf." They have secured some of the best local dramatic talent. W. B. Saunders, our Youngstown representative, a prominent K. P., was in the city the past week and active in the state U. R. grand lodge meetings. Rev. C. D. White and G. L. Hicks, of Lima, were in the city until yesterday (Friday) in attendance upon the K. P. state meet. They called on The Gazette. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Reed and the editor of The Gazette, Chas. Gordon, and Alex Martin returned Friday from Chicago. They attended the national republican convention. Mrs. F. W. King will return to Chicago the first of the week to forward the rest of their household goods, etc., and will join her husband here in the near future to remain. A bright, healthy, well disposed girl, about four years old, rather dark colored, can find a good home with a good colored family through the Cleveland Protestant Orphan Asylum. Mr. Charles Robinson, a letter carrier, of Ironton, was in the city the past week. He renewed his subscription to The Gazette and also visited the local (main) post office and officials. John B. Thompson, of the West Side, who has been suffering with blood poisoning for some time, is almost convalescent. At one time physicians thought it necessary to cut off an arm. You will always find the Wood-liff Painless Dentists honest and upright men to deal with; all work guaranteed, prices reasonable. Give them a call if you need any dental work. Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

You don't need a whole lot of money to start with, either. He'll build you a home. Phone or call upon him at once. The reception to the graduates of Cleveland schools at Mt. Zion church last week Thursday evening, under the auspices of the Lincoln Lyceum, proved a very enjoyable affair. The principle features of the affair were the addresses of Rev. H. C. Bailey and Mr. Dennis Fowler, president of the Lyceum; solos by Miss Mary Brown and Mrs. Kittle Mitchell; excellent papers by Dr. E. M. Grant and Miss Edna Davis. The pastor of the church opened the entertainment with prayer and an orchestra furnished several numbers of the program. The Ladies' Aid society served refreshments. The best way to see Cleveland is to take the touring car at the Public Square at 8 or 10 a. m., 12 noon, 2 and 4 p. m., for a two hour trip through the city. There are five different trips to select from and the fare is only 25 cents. For additional information call on Mr. J. W. Butler, manager, 620 Electric building. Attorney Wm. P. Dunlap, of the Blackstone building, is to be retained by those intent upon the grand jury indictment and prosecution of the two men alleged to be instrumental in inducing the $600 settlement of the Gross boy's case against the street railroad company. He lost both legs and was otherwise injured. It is said that Blue, Fleming, Brascher and the "devil" (office boy) continue to patronize the white restaurant on Ontario street, and give the McNaughton, Carmack, Adkins, Buchanan, Crawford and other race restaurants the "cold shoulder." "O! consistency, those art a jewel," whose acquaintance some individuals should soon begin to cultivate. The rally Sunday at Cory church resulted in $143.75. The pastor, Rev. R. L. Dickerson, D. D., preached two able sermons. His subject for Sunday morning was "Christian Warfare" and Sunday evening, "The Sanctity of Marriage." The house was crowded and all present greatly enjoyed the service. The church is soon to be remodeled. Quarterly meeting, July 10. Rev. Dr. H. W. Simmons, P. E., will be present and preach all day. Communion, 9 p.m. The entertainment and play "Aunt Jerusha's Quilting Party," given by the Young Ladies' Loyalty club, of Shiloh church, recently at True Reformers' hall, proved a great success. All participants did well. There were so many good and amusing things said that the audience was kept almost constantly in an uproar. Leroy Craighead as "Squire" proved quite a "hit." The grand finale, a jubilee song, was so well received that the singers were encored. The money raised goes toward the grand rally fund of the church. The annual sermon of the True Reformers was preached Sunday afternoon at Mt. Zion church by Rev. B. K. Smith, of Oberlin. There were visiting members from Akron, Lorain, Youngstown and Oberlin. The choir from Lane Memorial church furnished the music. Rev. Dandridge, of Shiloh church, offered prayer. Short addresses were delivered by several visiting members. Mr. Thurston lead in the singing of "I Will Guide Thee", the ode of the order. Rumor has it that Mt. Zion choir refused the invitation to sing. However the collection was divided between the churches. Services at St. Andrews' Mission Sunday as follows: Sunday school, 9 a. m.; holy communion and sermon, 10:30 a. m.; evening prayer and address on the subject, "Some lessons from the K. of P. convention." The Sunday school children enjoyed an outing at Wade Park last week Friday. During the afternoon races were indulged in, the winners being Fred Seelig, 100 yard dash; Blanch Jefferson, 100 yard dash; May Jefferson, 100 yard dash; Harry Nichols, 100 yard dash; Margaret Doan, 50 yard dash; Madaline Nooks, 50 yard dash. Long distance runs were won by Fred Seelig, Blanche Jefferson and May Jefferson. Fred Seelig won the all-winners' race, and shows splendid ability as a spinner. Dr. E. A. Berry, of Atlanta, Ga., spoke at Pilgrim's church last Sunday evening on the "White Problem in the Black Belt." It is gratifying to us to have one once in a while give the true condition of things in the south. Some of the things the Doctor said were: "That the condition of the white serfs in the south was much worse than that of Afro-Americans; that the north with its regular per cent of foreigners had a very small per cent of 'illiterates,' while the south with only three per cent of foreign population had thirty-five per cent of 'illiterates,' that in the city of Atlanta there was more money invested in colored schools than there was in all the state of Georgia for white schools; that the number of graduates from these schools is very large and that it is a fact that not one of these graduates has ever been convicted of crime in the courts or lynched. We are at the beginning of our work of the emancipation of the white people of the south from superstition and ignorance, which is the greatest I have ever seen." Good for Dr. Berry! He has seen the "beam in his own eye." In closing a very interesting communication on the St. Louis Fair. Albert I. Williams, who returned recently from a weeks' visit, says: "In short it (the fair) shows the achievements of the world with the Afro-Americans left out. He is neither considered, invited nor welcome, and occupies the same position at the Louisiana Fair as he did at the time of the Louisiana Purchase—that of a menial. The 240 years slavery and 250,000 lives lost in battle has secured no better place for him at this "universal" fair. In my wandering about I found more hands stretched out than latch strings hanging out; more people inquiring about work and wages elsewhere than I found thinking of hospitality, rights and privileges. Everyone is expected to be prepared for frequent demands upon their purse and I would suggest that you arrange for lodgings before leaving home. Arriving at the grounds, which is seven miles from the city, the admission is 50 cents, which does not include drinking water nor public comfort. The state buildings and exhibition palaces are free. The shows and other attractions charge admission." Mr. Williams doubtless forgot to make plain that restaurants, cafes, eating houses, etc., draw the "color line." Only a Few Miles On the Nickel Plate Road to many beautiful groves and delightful places for picnic parties. Call on E. A. Akers, 28 Public Square, New Park building, for information and arrangements. (356). The St. Louis (Mo.) American Eagle claims that the color line is so tightly and insultingly drawn within the World's Fair at St. Louis that it is going to be difficult for an Afro-American to get even a drink of water there.

W. H. Ellis, of Hawaii, Going on Hunt to Africa with Twenty-Five Friends as Guests. W. H. Ellis, the Hawaiian Count of Monte Cristo, is a big man, in the prime of life, and of even darker com- plexion than his noted countrywoman, ex-Queen Lil. Mr. Ellis is a gentle- man who by his habits adds to the Joyousness of any community that is favored by his presence. His slight- est purchase is a. benefaction, and in the mere matter of cigars he expends from $5 to $10 per diem. He passed through Washington recently and when getting ready to leave the city an employee of the hostlery was handed six boxes of a brand that re- tails for 50°cents each, with the com- pliments of the generous Hawaiian. Mr. Ellis has every right to be a high-rolier and lavish spender, for he has sources of revenue that bring him in a royal income. Besides his sugar estates in the islands, he owns coffee plantations in Cuba, copper mines in old Mexico and diamond mines in Africa. His collection of shining g ms is worth the ransom of a king. “All the pleagure I have in life,” said he to a reporter, “is giving my friends a good*time; and I would walue my fortune as_ nothing if I couldn't make those I like happy. I am on my way to Africa row on the biggest hunting trip of my life and shall carry 25 friends along as my guests. The junket will cost me $20,- 909. This is my second hunting tour to the dark continent. On the first my party killed six elephants, and this time we hope to get a larger num- ber. After a man has hunted ele- phants, pursuit of any other kind~of wild game is a tame business.” Nailed Up Tight. Paris was amazed at the arrival there of 178 barrels of American gold the other day. Chagrin over the fact that the barrels were not as vulner- able as the purses of American tour- ists, remarks the Philadelphia North American, doubtless shared in the emotions of the Parisians.

A sick coffee drinker must take two steps to be rid of his troubles and get sirong and well again. The first is to cut off coffee abso- lutely. That removes the destroying ele- ment. The next step is to take liquid food (and that is Postum Food Coffee) that has in it the elements nature re- quires to change the blood corpuscles trom pale pink or white to rich red, and good red blood builds good strong and healthy cells in place of.. the broken down cells destroyed by coffee. With weil- boiled Postum Food Coffee to shift to, botigpese steps are easy and pleasant. ie experience of a Georgian proves how important both are. “From 1872 to the year 1900 my wifs and I had both been afflicted with sicit “or nervous headache and at times we suffered untold agony. We were coffee drinkers and dia not know how to get away from.it for the uabit is hard to quit. . “But in 1900 I read of a case similar to ours where Postum Coffee was used in place of the oid coffee and a com- plete cure resulted, so I concluded :o get some and try it. “The result was, after three days’ use of Postum in place of the coffee [ never had a symptom of the old trouble and in five months I had gained from 145 pounds to 163 pounds. “My friends asked me almost daily what wrought the change. My answer always is, leaving c coffee and drink- ing Postum in its piace. “We have many friends who have been benefited by Postum. “As to whether or not I have stated ‘the {acts truthfully I refer you to the ‘Benk of Carroliton or any business firm in that city where I have lived for many years and am well known.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Tokio, Juné 27.—Admiral Togo re- Ports that on June 23 his patrol boat discovered the battleship Peresviet and seven other vessels, accompanied by nine torpedo boat destroyers, near the entrance of Port Arthur harbor. They warned him wirelessly and he advanced his fleet. The admiral then discovered that the Russian fleet, which consisted of six battleships, five cruisers and 14 destroyers, evidently planned a dash southward. The Russians stopped outside the entrance to the harbor and after nightfall a fleet of Japanese torpedo boat destroyers ‘attacked the Russian ships and succeeded in torpedoing and sinking a battleship of the Peresviet type and disabled the battleship Se- vastopol. A cruiser of the Diana type was observed being towed into the harbor on Friday morning and it was evident she had sustained serious damage. The Japanese ships sustain- ed little damage. St. Petersburg, June 27.—Up to last night the Japanese report of the loss of three Russian ships at Port Arthur has not been published here, though the authorities havé allowed to be printed a statement that the squadron -had made a sortie and also the news of the loss of Japanese torpedo boat ‘destroyers. Mukden, June 27.—Gen. Mist- ‘chencko and several companies of ‘Cossacks on the night of June 2% while reconnoitering west of the Yalu river were pursued by a considerable force of Japanese. The Cossacks turned and charged, breaking the lines of the Japanese, whom they pursued for 12 hours, inflicting heavy losses. RUSSIANS RETREAT. St. Petersburg, June 29.—The Asso- ciated Press is informed on good au- thority that Gen. Kuropatkin has, de- cided to withdraw northward. This move gives the Russians the advant- age of being nearer their base of sup- plies and places the Japanese at the disadvantage of having longer lines of communication. It is pointed out that Kuropatkin no longer prevents a junction of the enemy’s forces by re- maining at Ta-Tche-Kiao, as he might thereby imperil the safety of his own troops, as the desperate character of the fighting at Ta Pass and Fen-Shui ‘Pass on June 27 shows that the Japa- nese are in strong force uncomfort- ably near the Russian flank. The country in which the armies are now coming into contact consists of a series of mountain chains running parallel with the ratiway, alongside of which the Russians are falling back as the Japanese advance. Tokio, June 29.—After a hot fight which lasted for six hours June 27, the Takushan division of the Japanese army completely defeated five battal- ions of Russian infantry, which, sup- ‘ported. by two regiments of cavalry and 16 guns, occupied Fen-Shuiling, 27 miles northwest of Siu Yen. The Russians finally fell back. The Japa- nese casualties aggregated about 100 killed and wounded. Hai-Cheng, June 29.—The total losses in the Dalin Hill fight are not yet known. Eighty wounded have ar- rived here and on Sunday a hospital train with 200 passed, going to Liao Yang. 2 JAPS TOOK THREE FORTS. London, June 30.—The Tokio cor- respondent of the Daily Telegraph ‘Says that severe fighting took place at ‘Kai-Chau on June 25, which resulted in the capture of that place on the ‘morning of June 26. The Tokio correspondent of the ‘Morning Post says that the Japanese’ second army has effected a juncture with the first army, and that the whole force now has a fighting front of 120 miles. Tokio, June 30.—It is unofficialiy re- ported that the Chik-Wan-Shan, Chit- An-Shan and So-Cho-Shan forts, southeast of and part of the Port Ar- thur defences, were captured on Sun- day after an all day fight, beginning with an artillery duel. So-Cho-Shan, it is added, was first captured and the other forts fell soon afterwards. The Russians retreated west, leaving 40 dead. The Japanese force is said to have consisted of all branches of the service. The Japanese lost three of- ficers and 100 men killed or wounded, and captured two guns and a quantity of ammunition. The officials here do not confirm the report. Che Foo, June 30.—Chinese arrivals from Port Arthur report a large ves- sel, presumably a Russian vessel, on the rocks ten miles southeast of Liao ‘Tie Chan promontory. Three funnels and two masts are above water. Liao Yang, June 30.—The Japanese are reported to have retired ten to twenty miles from the positions which they recently held. Owing to local rains it is thought that the operations north of Port Ar- .thur have been indefinitely postponed. It is unofficially stated that the Rus- ‘sian fleet put out from Port Arthur ‘several days ago and encountered the Japanese fleet. In the ensuing en- -gagement between the two fleets three ships were lost. No details of the en- ‘gagement are available here. Monsignor Guidi Dies. Manila, June 27.—Monsignor Guidi apostolic delegate to the Philippines, died Sunday, of heart failure. The re. mains will be interred at Rome. Mgr Guidi was sent to the Philippine Isl. ands nearly two years ago as the rep. resentative of the Vatican in the nego. tiations with the Philippine commis. sioners for the sale of the friar lands to the American government. Ar agreement was reached in December last by Gov. Taft and the friars. The settlement provided for the purchase of 403,000 acres, comprising all of the friar lands in the islands.

OVERCOME BY SMOKE AND GAS Forty-three New York Firemen Al- most Suffocated. Four of Them Will Probably Die—Gas Mains Inside of a Burning Building Broke—Stub. born Fire. New York, June 30.—Forty-three firemen, four of whom will probably die, were overcome by smoke and gas at a fire Wednesday in the sub-cellar of the double five-story brick building at Nos. 483.and 485 Broadway, extend- ing through to Mercer street. Half a hundred employes were ati-en from the building and the damage inflicted by fire, water and smoke was estimat- ed at between $150,000 and $200,000. The fire was so situated that it was ‘difficult to fight it, and it burned for more than two hours before being brought under control. The smoke from the burning matter was so dense and so pungent that the firemen could ‘work in it for but a few minutes at a time, and many of those who braved it fell prostrate where they stood, Some who fell lay unnoticed on the floor for minutes and one man remain- ed for nearly an hour before being discovered ond dragged to the open air to be cared for by a large relict force which had been summoned | ‘The breaking of gas mains inside ‘the building and the consequent filling (of the burning structure with thou- ‘sands of cubie fect of illuminating gas added greatly to the difficulty and ‘the danger, | Capt.

C., June 30.—Judge Pritchard, of the United States circuit court, filed his opinion yesterday in the celebrated case of Josephus Dan fels. Mr. Daniels, who is editor of the Raleigh News and Observer, had been fined $2,000 for contempt of court by | District Judge Purnell. Judge Pritchard's opinion will be ‘recognized as an authority in regard to newspaper utterances that might ‘be construed as contempt of court. ‘The decision, in part, Is as follows: | “That newspapers. sometimes en- gage in unwarranted ¢riticism of the courts cannot be denied. In some in. stances they construe the liberty of ‘the press as a Heense to authorize ‘them to engage in wholesale abuse of ‘the court, but these instances are rare and do not warrant a departure from the well settled principles of the law as declared by congress. “It appears that the judge who ad judged the petitioner to be in con. tempt of court exceeded the authority granted in the act of 1831, and that the court wa® without jurisdiction. ,Such being the case; the judgment of the court js vold and therefore a nullity. “In view of the foregoing, the court finds that the petitioner is unlawfully restrained of his liberty , and it {s therefore ordered that the said Jo. sephus Daniels be discharged from the custody of the marshal of the Uni- ted States and that he go hence with. dank Mihai St THE EXILES’ COLONY. tion of 39 Men Deported from Crip- ple Creek.

CuneS WHERE ALL ELSE FAILS ee Pe) in time" Sold by drugs H poLol Eel ism aIOlN) Suggestions by Dr. Hartman, —How to Combat the Nervous Depression Incident to Warm Weather. Nervousness is very common among women, ‘This condition is due to anaemic nerve centers, The nerve centers are the reservoir for nerve vitality. These centers become bloodless for the want of proper nutrition. ‘This condition is especially noticeable during the warm season. Every sum- mer an army of invalids are produced a3 a direct result of weak nervous systems. ‘This could easily be overcome by the use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the trouble by correcting the digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes increased nutrition for the nerve centers. Perfectly digested food gives these reser- yoirs of life a vitality which creates strong, steady nerves, and in this man- ner fortifles and nourishes life. ‘Miss Blanche Grey, a prominent young society Woman of Memphis, Tenn., in a recent letter from 174 Alabama street, writes: “To a society woman whose nervous force is often taxed to the utmost from lack of rest and irregular meals. I know of nothing which is of somuch benefit as Peruna, 1 took it a few months ago when I felt my strength giving way, and it soon made itselt manifest in giving me new strength and health.""—Miss Blanche Grey. Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found permanent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe- runa is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquir- ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro- duce temporary results. It is perma- nent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by removing the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna jhas been used off and on for twenty years. Such a thing could not be possi- ble if Peruna contained any drugs of a narcotic nature, At this season of the year we are peculiarly liable to inflammations of the stomach and bowels. It is the part of wisdom to learn how to cut them short and in the easiest and quickest manner. | Peruna does this by its peculiar power over all forms of catarrhal troubles.
