All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. ALLIED PRINTING TRADE S COUNCIL CLEVELAND Cleveland, Saturday, August 6, 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. Has Major Kilpatrick, of Springfield, been "whitewashed" too, "after a fashion?" It looks like it. O, that riot! The Colored American Magazine for July was one of the very best numbers issued. Messrs. Fortune and Freund's articles were well worth twice the price of a copy of the publication. There is, too, much other interesting and excellent reading. The magazine should be generously patronized. The Utah Plain Dealer says that at Cripple Creek, Col., a few weeks ago, degraded Afro-American and a low white woman were paid to represent a criminal assault by a Negro on a white woman, so that pictures might be taken for stereopticon views to be used for democratic campaigning purposes. This is about the lowest affair in which human beings could be engaged. Richmond, Va., has a "Jim Crow" street car law. One result is that Afro-Americans of that city stopped riding on the cars. Another result is that their refusal to do so, has caused one street car company to go into the hands of a receiver. Good. Let the good work go on! Hit them in the pocketbook, brethren, their tenderest spot, and there will eventually come a change in your favor. THE DOOR OF HOPE. Enlightened mankind as well as great Americans are coming to realize the full force and meaning of the Roosevelt maxim: "I cannot close the door of hope to Afro-Americans of this country." The preceding utterance is the language of a nobleman, a true patriot and a Christian statesman. President Roosevelt takes high ground in the cause of human justice and lives far in advance of that un-American idea which discriminates against real merit on account of race or color. Somewhere upon the earth it is ordained by Heaven that man shall live and earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. Somewhere among the teeming millions of this mundane sphere man is assigned a place for residence and toll. Humanity in its progressive march to better conditions recognizes the design of Omnipotence that all men must live and enjoy an equal chance in the race of life. Just how or why it comes about that the races must be at variance with each other, seems a perplexing matter. But the human heart is prone to sin. We are conceived in iniquity and, although sin is a curse to any people, yet because of the evil propensity of our natures and of our tendencies to jealousies, envies, bickerings and misanthropies, the strong and the rich draw the line against the weak and the poor, thus making it possible for sin to abound, for vice, and wrong and crime to dominate, in guilty defiance of truth and righteousness. President Roosevelt was born to things of nobler life. He saw the hand of tyranny lifted like a fell destroyer to beat back the rising spirit of philanthropy and good will among the children of men. Looking abroad in every land and country, he saw the millions of mankind struggling on to better conditions, he saw them serving as helpers in the grander cause to raise the fallen and to endow them with the inheritance of a lofty patronage. He saw princes and potentates, all bending in hopeful prayer to God to cheer and to inspire the hearts of the lowly to rise and walk. It was the dream and hope of his soul to witness such an administration of affairs at home. He remembered the early struggles of our country, how when Attucks died to rescue the colonies from the clutches of British tyranny, he remembered, when black men followed in the lead of our own Washington and how in every bloody contest from Bunker Hill to New Orleans, from New Orleans to Appomattox, from Appomattox to San Juan, the Afro-American soldier was there to do and to die that the nation might live. Then turning his mind from these transcendent scenes of heroism and valor and looking upward to the sublime heights, which the Afro-American had attained, he is reminded that against this wonderful soldier and citizen of the republic, he can not shut the door of hope. True to every manly instinct of his nature and to the nobility of his great and unconquerable soul, he exclaims, I can not—I can not close the door of hope to trace so great in patriotic devotion and to whom belong all the rights and blessings of life and liberty as to other men. Great is Roosevelt! and grander far is the man who has dared to vindicate truth and justice upon the broad plane of righteousness. "PAPA" ANDERSON.

The Testimonial Dinner. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: Relative to the testimonial dinner tendered President W. L. Taylor, of the True Reformers last week Thursday, I respectfully ask you to make this announcement: It was first intended to have the dinner served by our brother, Mr. I. B. Bowman, but it developed late at the union session that the original plan could not be carried out and as much as we desired to have it at the Bowman cafe, it had to be taken to Mrs. Henry Burch's residence, No. 463 Central avenue, where Bishop Payne Fountain did itself proud in honor of its chief. Yours very respectfully, ALBERT I. WILLIAMS, W. M. No. 2125 F. U. O. T. R. --- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1904. THE STOCK YARDS TROUBLE. PACKERS DECLARE THE STRIKE PRACTICALLY ENDED. Police Station in Chicago Stoned by Rioters—Driven Away by Officers' Clubs—A Boycott on Ice Ordered. Chicago, Aug. 2.—Monday was a busy day with the packers. With increased forces of skilled workers and their operating departments more thoroughly equipped than at any time since the beginning of the strike, the employers took a firm grip on the machinery of their affairs and as a result the stock yards took on the old hum of activity to a great extent. More than 78,000 head of live stock were received. This is an increase of 59,000 head over the receipts on the corresponding day last week. Rioters stoned the Deering street police station last night and for a quarter of an hour the police battled with the crowd of 2,000 men and women, as it charged the station with sticks and stones, shouting vengeance against the police. The trouble started when the police went to the assistance of Frank Castellano, a strike breaker who had been dragged from a street car and severely beaten. Before the police could reach Castellano he had fired four shots at his assailants. Stones and bricks by the hundred were hurled at the building, and all the windows in the place were broken. Charge after charge was made by the police and the rioters were driven back only by the strenuous use of clubs. Kansas City, Aug. 2.—Monday's developments in the butchers' strike were serious from the standpoint of the strikers, as hundreds of strikers returned to work, many of them being skilled workmen. Chicago, Aug. 3.—The meat packers whose union employees are on strike claim to be in a better position now than at any time since the struggle began. When asked for the packers' side of the situation last night Arthur Meeker, general manager for Armour & Co., said: "The strike may be said to be near an end. At the rate we are securing new employees it will be only a short time until everything will be in normal condition with us. The old employees' places have been filled so promptly that very few of the strikers will ever be able to get back their old places and those who do will come back as individuals." Despite the declarations of the packers, the pens at the stock yards are filled with cattle and hogs that buyers make no bid for. According to commission men and officials of the Union Stock Yards and Transit Co., out of the live stock received Monday and Tuesday over 19,000 sheep and 10,000 hogs were reshipped, and unsold stock is rapidly accumulating in the pens. It is on this statement and what further information their own men have been able to secure, that the strike leaders base their claims that the packers are still badly crippled. A considerable number of strike breakers who arrived in Chicago yesterday were dissuaded from going to work by pickets. In a statement given out by the packers it is asserted that out of the 25,526 union men who went on strike 3,056 have returned to work. These desertions from the unions, added to the new employees secured since the strike began, it is declared, makes the total number of men now at work 15,848. Chicago, Aug. 4.—The threatened spread of the stock yards strike to outside industries came last night, when an order was issued by the Teamsters' union prohibiting drivers of ice wagons from making any deliveries to retail merchants who since the packing house teamsters went on strike have been hauling meat from the yards in their own wagons. As the refrigerators in the meat markets do not hold enough ice to last longer than 48 hours, if the order cutting off the supply of ice can be enforced it means that the majority of people in Chicago will be compelled to go on short rations as far as meat is concerned. The officials of the Teamsters' union have appointed pickets to watch the meat markets all over the city and these men have been instructed to see that the boycott is carried out to the limit. While admitting that the packers are doing considerable business, the strike leaders declare that the employers are losing money on every animal that is slaughtered, as the unskilled workers waste all the byproducts. It is on this waste that the strikers base their hopes for final success, arguing that it is only a matter of time until the employers will become tired of losing money and eventually make overtures to the unions for a settlement. In a riot which broke out at the yards last night two policemen were injured and 28 rioters were arrested after having been beaten into subjugation St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 4.—More union men deserted the ranks of the strikers yesterday and returned to their old jobs at the packing plants. This number is said by the packers to be 150. Is Put on a War Footing. Zeigler, Ill., Aug. 4.—An engine hauling one baggage car and two coaches, carrying 40 Pittsburg miners to take the place of strikers arrived yesterday, escorted by 20 armed guards. The train was backed into Joseph Leiter's stockade and unloaded without interference. One of the guards was shot through the head while leaving the car by the accidental discharge of his weapon. Leiter accompanied the men. Rapid fire guns were in position and guards centered in the inclosure, all outposts being watched by deputy sheriffs. Bail Bond Forfeited. New York, Aug. 2.—When neither the defendant, his bondsman nor his lawyer appeared in court Monday the bail bond of Sigmund Kaiser, who is charged with victimizing hundreds of Hun and Slovak miners in the Pennsylvania coal region to the extent of $25,000, was declared forfeited. Kaiser started a money changing and forwarding agency and advertised to send money to Europe at rates much lower than usual. The complainant in Bertalder Gorgeny, a Hungarian, formerly a newspaper man in Buda Best A VERY STARTLING STORY. LIFE SAVING APPARATUS DECLARED WORTHLESS. The Slocum Disaster Might Easily Be Duplicated on the Steamer Grand Republic—An Inspector's Statement. New York, Aug. 3.—An inspector who on Monday made a partial examination of the excursion steamer Grand Republic, yesterday told the federal commission which is investigating the General Slocum disaster, that the life saving and fire fighting apparatus on the Grand Republic is practically worthless. This steamer is a sister ship to the General Slocum, which was burned in the East river several weeks ago with a loss of nearly 1,000 lives. She is owned by the Knickerbocker Steamship Co., which also owned the Slocum. Several of the company's officers are now under indictment by the federal grand jury on a charge of manslaughter and criminal negligence as a result of alleged failure to provide adequate fire fighting and life saving apparatus for the burned steamer. The inspector who examined the Grand Republic told the commission that neither the captain nor the crew know what to do when a fire drill is ordered; that some of the fire hose burst when subjected to water pressure; that a large percentage of the life preservers were worthless, some of them having been manufactured as long ago as 1877; that the lifeboats were provided with broken oars, one was badly rotted and another had a broken rudder. This story was told by Inspector James M. Todd, who with Supervising Inspector Rodie and Chairman Murray, of the federal commission, boarded the Grand Republic Monday afternoon as she was about to start up one of her regular trips to Coney Island with passengers. The company had been notified several times to name a time and place for reinspection of the steamer, but had not complied. "The preservers on the main deck were in bad condition. You could break off the corners as you would a biscuit. Out of 1,082 we condemned 372. The mark was so old that we could not see it. The manufacturer's mark was 1877. "We found 134 new preservers, and tested 15 of them at 24 pounds weight and they sank. After being in the water five minutes they weighed nine pounds. They should have weighed only two and one-half pounds." MINERS "STAND PAT." They Will Insist on Operators Obeying Umpire Wright's Decision on the Check Weighman Question. Scranton, Pa., Aug. 3.—When the meeting of the United Mine Workers' executive board of District No. 1 adjourned yesterday District President Nicholls gave out the following statement: "The executive board of District No. 1 decided to approve of the position taken by the miners' representatives on the board of conciliation. "The instructions of the Pittston convention will be complied with. The board adjourned subject to the call of the chair, in order to allow the officers to investigate and report back the names of such collieries at which collections for check weighmen and check docking bosses are not being made in accordance with Umpire Wright's decision." It is understood that the adjourned meeting will be held in about a week or ten days. There is much speculation as to the real purpose of the board in delaying the calling of strikes at the collieries where the check weighmen deductions are not made. The operators' representatives say there will be no meeting of the conciliation board until the miners' representatives call it and agree to take up the check weighman question 'n regular order. An Executive Committee Is Chosen. Chicago, Aug. 3.—Chairman Cortel-you, of the republican national committee, yesterday selected the men who are to serve on the executive committee during the campaign. The committee is divided equally between Chicago and New York, four members being allotted to each headquarters. The following are the members of the executive committee: Eastern headquarters, New York—Charles E. Brooker, of Connecticut; N. B. Scott, of West Virginia; Franklin Murphy, of New Jersey; William L. Ward, of New York. Western headquarters, Chicago—Harry S. New, of Indiana; Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois; R. B. Schneider, of Nebraska; David W. Mulvane, of Kansas. Nearly 500 Operators Struck. St. Louis, Aug. 3.—At the headquarters of the Order of Railway Telegraphers it was stated yesterday that 450 operators and station agents on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad system are out, only six men of the whole force having remained at work. The information received was to the effect that passenger trains are from three to 12 hours late and that the freight train schedules are demoralized. Gen. Miles' Wife Dies. West Point, N. Y., Aug. 3.—Mrs. Nelson A. Miles died here Monday night, of heart disease. She and Gen. Miles had been visiting their son, Sherman, who is a student at the military academy. Gen. Miles was not present at the time of his wife's death, he having gone out of town Monday. Mrs. Miles was 62 years old. She made a number of calls Monday and apparently was in her usual health. Mrs. Miles was the daughter of Charles Sherman and a niece of the late Senator Sherman, of Ohio, and Gen. William T. Sherman. Negroes Murdered a Family Savannah, Ga., Aug. 3.—The wife of Paul Reed at Statesboro confessed yesterday that Will Catts and Paul Reed, negroes who are in jail here for fear of lynching, murdered the Hodges family near Statesboro last Friday and burned their house. The motive was robbery. They killed Hodges with an iron brace after he had caught them digging up a pile of money in the yard. They then killed Mrs. Hodges and the little girl by striking them on the head with a lamp. The babies were killed before the house was fired. G. A. R.

We hope that the members of the race everywhere will not only feel it their duty to stay away from the World's Fair at St. Louis, but to use their influence in keeping others at home. The insolence and contemptible treatment that the Negroes have received at the World's Fair is extremely outrageous, and no self-respecting member of the race can afford to force himself upon these people. Any one familiar with the management of affairs cannot help being surprised at the daring audacity of these people, even if they do propose to make money out of their undertaking, to come at this late day with a plea to the Negro whom they have repeatedly insulted and given to know that they did not want, and ask him for his patronage.—A.

Andrew Carnegie told this story lately: A Scotchman and an Englishman went to see "Douglas," and after Norval's great speech the Scotchman asked his companion: "What do ye think of your Willie Shakespeare noo?" "Well," was the answer, "you have claimed Chaucer, Milton, Spencer, Wordsworth, Byron and most of the others; I suppose you'll be claiming Shakespeare as Scotch."

CHIEF OF POLICE SAVED. Newberry, S. C.—W. H. Harris, chief of police of Newberry, says: "I suffered for a number of years with kidney complaint. There was a dull aching across the small of my back that was worse at night and made me feel miserable all the time. The kidney secretions were dark and full of sediment, and lack of control compelled me to rise a number of times during the night. Between this annoyance and the backache it was impossible for me to get much sleep and my health was being undermined. I tried a number of remedies, but nothing helped me until I got Doan's Kidney Pills. The use of this remedy according to directions promptly brought about a change for the better.

While Secretary Hay was in the country one summer, an important piece of official business was pending, and he arranged with Washington that any news that might arrive about the matter should be telegraphed to him in cipher. Day after day he waited, says the New York Tribune, but no telegram came. One morning, happening to go to the lonely little telegraph office, he said to the operator: "I suppose you have received no dispatch for me." "Why, yes, sir," the operator replied, "there was a dispatch for you the other day, but it was all twisted and confused. I couldn't make head or tail of it, so I didn't think it was any use to send it up to you." Arriving at a Verdict. Kushequa, Pa., Aug. 1.—(Special)—In this section of Pennsylvania there is a growing belief that for such Kidney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame Back there is only one sure cure, and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This belief grows from such cases as that of Mrs. M. L. Davison, of this place. She tells the story herself as follows:— "I have suffered from Rheumatism for thirty years and find that Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me more good than any medicine I have ever taken. I was also bothered with Lame Back, and I can only say that my back hasn't bothered me since I took Dodd's Kidney Pills." Considering that Mrs. Davison only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the result would be considered wonderful if it were not that others are reporting similar results daily. Kushequa is fast arriving at a verdict that "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure cure for Rheumatism." The Civilized Method. "Went into a Chinese restaurant last night," said the first Chicagoan.

In the accompanying illustrations our artist offers some useful solutions of the problem. To IT IS with late summer fashions for mademoiselle that we must chiefly concern ourselves just now. In the accompanying illustrations our artist offers some useful solutions of the problem. To consider first the pretty frock which is shown in one of our illustrations, and which might be made either in striped lawn or batiste, or in striped Vieyella, if preferred. The skirt, which, of course, should be made without a lining, is perfectly plain, except for a few rows of tailor stitching at the hem. It is very fully gathered into the waist band, and finished with a deep belt of soft Louising silk ribbon, in some suitable shade, ei- 4 ther to contrast or harmonize with the stripe in the material. The smart little coat is cut in that semifitting square bolero shape which is always so particularly becoming to a youthful figure. It is trimmed on either side in front and also on the sleeves, with large round rosettes of silk ribbon to match the waist belt, but in a narrower width. The full sleeves to the elbow are cool and comfortable, and sufficiently wide to admit of wearing a blouse sleeve underneath, if necessary. The coat sleeves are turned back with gauntlet cuffs of the same material, and finished with double frills of soft cream lawn, finely accordion plaited. Under the coat a little vest of lawn with a yoke of embroidery may be seen, but of course the coat could be worn over a blouse if preferred. The hat to be worn with this pretty frock is of soft white Manilla straw, with a fairly high crown, and a wide, shady brim. It is quite simply trimmed with a broad scarf of soft silk ribbon to match the waist belt, draped round the crown, caught up into a big chou at the side of the crown, and then finished with ends which droop over the hair at the back. This sketch might be carried out very successfully also in any of those delightful Harris linens, which can be obtained this year in so many lovely colors, and which always wash and wear so wonderfully well. For those who prefer something even more simple than I have already suggested, the same idea might be expressed in holland, in crash or in drill, with round medallion motifs of embroidered lawn, or washing braid, in place of the ribbon rosettes, and a waist band made in the same material as the frock itself. In our other illustration may be seen a most attractive trio of hats, which should serve thoroughly to equip Mademoiselle with becoming head-gear for all late summer occasions. The large hat on the left side of the picture would be suitable for a girl about 14 or 15 years of age, and is intended naturally only for Sunday best. It is made in fine white chip, in quite newest shape, with a very high crown, and a wide, shady brim, just lightly wired underneath at ARIS.—A French journalist has recently been holding forth upon the interrelation of fashion and feminine pose.

That the changing modes are a product of woman's restless vanity is a proposition brooking no denial, though the masculine love of money getting, strong in the manufacturers who supply the materials for woman's attire, is no inconsiderable factor in the changes. But it seems, says the critic that the modes react upon the nature that called them into being, and that women are prone to live up to their clothes, to adopt mental and moral attitudes harmonizing with the frocks and hats and furbelows of the day. And, by logical process of reasoning, we find a monumental burst of feminine coquetry and frivolity bearing down upon us. The modish costume of the season is the eminently coquettish costume. Now is the day of flirting frills and fluttering ribands, of saucily tilted hats in daring shapes, of demure fichus and tuckers, of brave waistcoats and audacious Directive or Louis XV, coats, of rose wreaths and flower filled baskets and ribbon festoons, and now is the day of the scarf and the little wrap. Not one woman in a hundred handles a scarf skilfully. When one does, she works wonders with the filmy thing. All last season Parisiennes were having scarfs of lace, chiffon, tulle, crepe, etc., CURRENT CURIOS On March 4, 1996, 85,000 red men in the Indian territory will give up tribal rule and become American citizens. Charles H. Booth, lately deceased at Englewood, N. J., was 101 years of age, and holder of the oldest life insurance policy of which there is record. Parts of the wreck of the Sirius, the first steam vessel to cross the Atlantic, which was lost off Ballycotton, County Cork, in 1847, have just been recovered the extreme edge, so that it can be bent about in any shape to suit the face of the wearer. Draped round the crown, and tied in a smart windmill bow on one side, there is a wide scarf of soft satin ribbon which should be arranged, so far as color goes, in some shade to match the frock with which the hat will be worn. White ribbon would perhaps be safest, as the hat would then look well with any frock. A long white ostrich feather, drooping over on one side of the crown, gives a finishing touch to this pretty hat. The hat sketched at the top right-hand corner of the picture is intended for a younger girl, say, about 11 or 12 years of age. It should be made with a crown of plain white muslin and a wide brim, formed of a very full frill of embroidered muslin. Or it might be arranged with a crown of ecru esprit net, and a gathered frill of lace, in the same shade of ecru. A band of ribbon, about an inch and a half wide, is folded round the crown, and tied with long loops that fall over the hair at the back. The pretty hat shown in our remaining illustration is intended for rather an older girl, and might be worn at the seaside or on the river, or for any of those garden parties to which the young girls of the family are sometimes invited, before they are actually out. This hat is made in a fine sun-burnt straw of a soft and pliable kind, with a wide brim bound at the edge with a very narrow border of black velvet ribbon. The crown is almost hidden under a giant rose which is made of very soft pale pink satin ribbon, folded and wired into the shape of the flower. The pale green leaves, which form quite a mass of foliage, surrounding the rose, are made also of satin ribbon in the same way. It is almost impossible, speaking generally, to improve upon the time-honored arrangement of coat, skirt and washing blouse, for mademoiselle's summer outfits. In light-in-weight serges, either navy, electric blue, or white, nothing can be neater or better for a young girl than a reefer coat and a short walking skirt, fairly full, but made without any heavy plaits or tucks to add to its weight and to inconvenience the wearer, should she feel inclined to undertake walking or even climbing expeditions. As far as the blouses are concerned to be worn with these coats and skirts, there is simply an endless variety this season from which to choose. Prettiest of all perhaps among those which are specially suitable for girls are the blouses in white, Irish linen, worked with hand embroideries in dainty floral designs carried out entirely in soft white thread. These blouses can be bought quite cheaply, unmade, and with pieces of the embroidery for the collar and cuffs, as well as for the fronts of the blouse. Once bought, they will prove an excellent investment, as they will wash and wear literally for years. Dainty blouses can be made too in floral muslins and in mercerized silks, as well Mary Craw delaines, and in those pretty Tussora silks, with colored embroidered silk spots, which are enjoying so much favor at the moment. For the trimming of these blouses various insertion laces are being sold, some of the patterns in Valenciennes, in Torchon and in Cluny being particularly effective. There are also certain laces in a mixture of white with a color, which look very well when they are used to trim those pretty Irish linens, which are made to imitate the appearance of tweeds, and arranged in various pale shades of color, lightly flecked with white. ELLEN OSMONDE. made for wear with their elaborate afternoon and evening gowns, and the fancy gains prestige instead of losing it. The floating scarf effects in millinery have already been referred to. The long streamers of gauze or tulle are drawn over the left shoulder and cleverly manipulated, but the shoulder scarfs are more pretentious and beautiful. Possibly the loveliest are the wide straight lengths of silk mousseline gauze or chiffon, exquisitely hand-painted in shadowy designs of blossom and inset with cobwebby lace, while lace with scalloped or irregular edge is appliqued or inset as a flat border. Crepe de chine and the very soft light silks and satins, which drape as gracefully as chiffon, are also treated in this way; and, in some cases, delicate hand embroidery takes the place of the brush work and weaves in and out among the laces. All lace scarfs are greatly liked, provided always that the lace is of beautiful quality. The old-time favorite Spanish lace makes perhaps the least expensive of the really good lace scarfs, and while a trifle heavy is effective. Its effectiveness is enhanced wonderfully by touching its design lightly with water color shadings, and any woman clever with her brush can treat a creamy Spanish lace scarf in this manner with most artistic results.

Home of a Scotch Miner Near Glasgow the Mecca of Halt and Maimed —His Surgery Causes Surprise. London has been recently flooded with highly colored reports of marvelous cures effected by William Rae, a Scotch miner, living at Blantyre, a little village near Glasgow. Special correspondents have written columns telling how the halt were cured and the deformed made straight by an old man whose medical knowledge was limited to a few notions of anatomy obtained by a cursory study of a handbook. Some of them went so far as to suggest that Rae's power was superhuman. His cottage, it is said, presented a remarkable sight daily. Crowds of people, some on crutches, others hobbling along with walking sticks, but all filled with hope of being cured, besieged the former miner, who is devoting 12 hours a day to treating his patients. One instance of Rae's methods was given by a highly veracious correspondent as follows: "The patient was a little boy who could not walk here. Said Rae: 'This is a case of a dislocated hip; the doctors call it disease, but it is not.' He made the boy lie down; then suddenly seizing the limb he gave it a jerk. There was a sharp crack, a sharper cry from the boy, and before the latter's mother, who was present, could recover from her astonishment, her child was walking about the room delightedly waving his discarded weighted boot in the air." Another case termed typical was described as that of a girl who was a hunchback. In this instance the mother was not permitted to be with the child, but a quarter of an hour later the child came out of the cottage "straight as a die" and sobbed out her happiness on her mother's shoulder. There were dozens of stories such as these detailed at length in the London newspapers. Photographs of Rae have been published, showing him to be a somewhat uncouth-looking man, with a badly trimmed beard and heavy features. His fee never varies. To all alike he charges half a guinea. From every part of England and Scotland, if one is to believe the accounts one reads, people have travelled to seek Rae's assistance and pay their half-guineas. Still, Rae is not wealthy, although it appears he has been carrying on his "bloodless surgery" for years. Rae's doctrine appears to be that bone disease is an invention of the doctors. To him conclusive proof of this is that neither he nor anyone else has ever seen a diseased bone in a living person. The secret of spinal curvature and every other condition causing deformity or lameness is contained in the single word "Bluid," for Rae's Scotch accent is one of his special charms. "Where that's wrang," says this pathological oracle, "a' the rest's wrang." The British Medical Journal, commenting on the affair, says there is nothing of this wondrous talk of the collier surgeon that will surprise those who know how little education has done to dissipate the clouds of ignorance and credulity which darken the public mind. The really interesting point to know would be how so foolish a thing was made a subject of a successful boom. Dyeing Eggs. Just now the foreign egg trade of England is much exercised over the disclosures made recently by Lord Onslow, president of the British board of trade, as to the nefarious practice of certain foreigners of dyeing their eggs for the London market with coffee in order to secure the rich brown shade which it seeps all Londoners prefer in their eggs. Lord Onslow advised the English egg producers to take a leaf from the book of their continental rivals and by the liberal use of coffee secure the shade which in London adds 25 cents a hundred to the value of their eggs. BUNCH TOGETHER. Coffee Has a Curious Way of Finally Attacking Some Organ. Ails that come from coffee are cumulative, that is, unless the coffee is taken away new troubles are continually appearing and the old ones get worse. "To begin with," says a Kansan, "I was a slave to coffee just as thousands of others to-day; thought I could not live without drinking strong coffee every morning for breakfast and I had sick headaches that kept me in bed several days every month. Could hardly keep my food on my stomach, but would vomit as long as I could throw anything up and when I could get hot coffee to stay on my stomach I thought I was better. "Well, two years ago this spring I was that sick with rheumatism I could not use my right arm to do anything, had heart trouble, was nervous. My nerves were all unstrung and my finger nails and tips were blue as if I had a chill all the time, and my face and hands yellow as a pumpkin. My doctor said it was heart disease and rheumatism and my neighbors said I had Bright's Disease and was going to die. "Well, I did not know what on earth was the matter and every morning would drag myself out of bed and go to breakfast, not to eat anything, but to force down some more coffee. Then in a little while I would be so nervous, my heart would beat like everything. "Finally one morning I told my husband I believed coffee was the cause of this trouble and that I thought I would try Postum, which I had seen advertised. He said 'All right,' so we pot Postum, and although I did not like it at first I got right down to business and made it according to directions, then it was fine and the whole family got to using it, and I tell you it has worked wonders for me. Thanks to Postum in place of the poison, coffee, I now enjoy good health, have not been in bed with sick headache for two years, although I had it for 30 years before I began Postum and my nerves are now strong and I have no trouble from my heart or from the rheumatism. "I consider Postum a necessary article of food on my table. My friends who come here and taste my Postum say it is delicious." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The case of Miss Frankie Orser, of Boston, Mass., is interesting to all women, and adds further proof that woman's great friend in need is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:—I suffered misery for several years. My back ached and I had bearing down pains, and frequent headaches. I would often wake from a restful sleep in such pain and misery that it would be hours before I could close my eyes again. I dreaded the long nights and weary days. I could do no work. I consulted different physicians hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicines did not cure me, I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it was highly recommended to me. I am glad that I did so, for I soon found that it was the medicine for my case. Very soon I was rid of every ache and pain and restored to perfect health.

I had a miserable appetite, nothing tasted good, and gradually my health broke down completely. The doctor said I had female weakness, but, although I took his medicine faithfully, I found no relief. "After two months I decided to try what a change would do for me, and as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was strongly recommended to me I decided to try it. Within three days I felt better, my appetite returned, and I could sleep. In another week I was able to sit up part of the day, and in ten days more I was well.
