Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896 1896 to 1898 1900 to 1902 CLEVELAND, Saturday, August 13, 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. OUR TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. So busy were we last week that The Gazette entered upon its twenty-second year without an announcement of the fact being made. Therefore this is our second issue in that year. Our record: The Gazette has been issued regularly every week on time since August 25, 1883, and has been aggressively loyal to the race throughout its entire life—period of twenty-one years and two weeks. Our record and success, is the best assurance possible to be given for the future, and we point to both with pardonable pride. We ask of our thousands of patrons throughout the country, many of whom have read The Gazette regularly for many years (some of them ever since its birth), a continuance of the loyal support we know the paper will receive from them. We want too just a little more activity on their part in encouraging others to do what they are doing for The Gazette. It will enable us to materially improve the paper. If you will do this—something that will not cost you anything except a little occasional effort—we will be only too glad to evidence our appreciation in the way indicated. The good results accomplished by The Gazette for our people in Ohio, and their influence for the good of the race generally throughout the country, are too well known and recognized to require comment at this time. Help increase the paper's power for good and there will be a corresponding increase in its good results for our people. DISCENSION AND UNREST IN DUCED BY SOUTHERN HATE. After reconstruction and the adoption of the amendments to the constitution the south, under its obligations to general amnesty was pledged to terms of reconciliation and loyalty; but disregarding those obligations, it began its work of disloyalty by disfranchising those to whom the government had given the right of suffrage, thus inciting a feeling of termagancy and unrest. This spirit has been so fostered until a deadly hate has seized the southern mind. It is now charged in the national democratic platform that the present republican administration induced this feeling. But we detest the baseness of a charge so loathesome, we abominate the effrontery which inspires such double dealing. From the days of nullification down to the present time, the southern people, on account of the domestic institution have allowed little or no quietude to the government. This insane spirit is the logical sequence of the domestic institution so long fostered and carried on under the presumption and cover of constitutional enactment. But slavery was wrong, it was an outrage which the nation could not recognize nor a Christian government tolerate. It was a wrong which Americans and the world at large concede to be morally unjust. Even the southern people claim to repudiate the evil and declare their abhorrence of a system which they hold should never more exist under the government. To make such an acknowledgement is a candid admission that they were wrong then in perpetuating the evil and being wrong then, they must further concede that the motives actuating them now are wrong. Then the southern mind is criminally at fault and their horrible deeds of crime, their bitterness, antagonism, and seditious assaults against the government of the people are all wrong. Ever since the close of the war they have assumed a revolutionary attitude, placing themselves in the very light of the colonists in their resistance to British oppression, but the south stands today upon equal terms under the government; yet like a spoiled child it keeps up a constant turmoil and agitation because the old slave holding democracy cannot control the government. If now indeed the southern mind were loyal to the constitution and its behests, if the people of the south were true to their own obligations under the prescribed amnesty, there would be no ground for discension and discord. But southern politics and agitation have been a thorn in the heart of the nation causing as much confusion and strife as in the time of war. Very gladly would the good people dismiss this perpetual wrangling, but being closely akin to those who maintained slavery and who are still smarting under the sting of the mighty evil which has been their curse, they show a partiality which reason and conscience dare not indorse. This is why mischief and rancor are continued, but the evil is continued because the south demands concessions and compromises which the better people cannot afford to grant. To be in peace and harmony under the same government seems not to be the purpose and policy of the south; for against almost any action on the part of the administration and with studied aim they bring into direpute the most creditable movement of the Afro-American and brand him as the cut-throat dog of the nation. Does this show that the white people of the south are striving for peace and quietude and do these contentions arise from any other source save the south? They abuse and slander the nation's head as no other president has been maligned. They strike blows and claim themselves to be struck. They are eternally kicking and rubbing where no wound has been made. Infuriated and exasperated, they slander the mother of the president and in guilty shame eat their own words. In childish peevishness they now declare that if the people will re-elect President Roosevelt, they intend to rise in their impotency and kill all the Negroes. Thus the feeling of strife and unrest is generated and the magnanimous north is made to wear the brand and endure hardships which are not justly deserved. TO INCREASE OUR EXPORTS. Our Diplomats Abroad are Asked to Report on Commercial and Industrial Subjects. Washington, Aug. 8.—The department of state has begun measures whereby it is hoped further to improve our foreign trade by means of co-operation between the diplomatic and consular services. For some years our diplomatic officers have shown increasing zeal in supplementing the work of the consular service by reports on commercial and industrial subjects, and the department now hopes to make the diplomatic corps a systematic and efficient auxiliary for the promotion of our export trade. The action of the department is tentative as yet, and takes the form of an instruction from Acting Secretary Loomis to the diplomatic officers calling for reports as to the feasibility of the plan. "It will be apparent to you that, if the United States is to gain and hold its proper place among the industrially competing nations in the world's markets, nothing should be left to chance, but that the machinery for collecting information as to business conditions in other countries should be made as efficient and as safely automatic as the means will allow. As you are aware, the consuiar service has made a very marked advance in its utility in this direction in recent years, so much so in fact as to have become the object of emulation on the part of the more prominent industrial nations, and it is believed that, if the diplomatic service could be brought into closer and more active co-operation with it, the United States would possess an instrument of trade expansion which it would be difficult to rival." Chandler Caused a Sensation Dover, Del., Aug. 10.—Dr. Joseph H. Chandler, when nominated for governor of Delaware by the "regular" republican convention Tuesday, created a profound stir by taking the platform and declaring that he accepted the nomination under the sole consideration that he would stay on the ticket until November. "I would rather suffer defeat," he declared, "than be pulled off the ticket that somebody else might be substituted." This was received with cheers from the Dupont men, who had won a victory over the Higgins forces in nominating Chandler. Wants to Know Her Father's Whereabouts. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I am desirous of obtaining information as to the whereabouts of my father, Derusia Ackley, commonly called "Dute", whom I have not seen since childhood. I heard that he was in Cleveland and had lost all effects from a fire about a year ago. Knowing your newsy paper catches the eye of many persons, I thought an advertisement to that effect might reach him. Mrs. Ida A. Thomas, 2501 Wabash avenue, Chicago, Ill. An American Consulate Is Robbed. Paris, Aug. 11.—Consul General Gowdy on arriving at the American consulate yesterday found that his private desk had been forced, the woodwork badly smashed, cash and postage stamps amounting to several hundred francs abstracted and his papers ransacked. The big safe of the consulate bore conspicuous traces of unsuccessful attempts to force it open. The safe contained a large sum in cash and important documents. Bank Robbers Escape from Prison. Bank Robbers Escape from Prison Jackson, Mich., Aug. 10.—John Allison, Harry Slater and William Spellman, long term convicts under sentence for bank robbery, escaped from the state prison here yesterday. Slater was a trusty employed in the engine room. He was responsible for the escape. The three men were members of the notorious "Lake Shore gang" of bank robbers that blew the safe of the Richland, Mich., bank in 1899. A Timely Rescue. North Sydney, N. S., Aug. 10.—The schooner Hydrangea has arrived here bringing two fishermen, Peter Gradley and C. Conley, who were lost in their dory from the Gloucester schooner Indiana. The men were picked up 40 miles off St. Pierre, Miquelon, after they were exhausted, having been afloat 11 days and nearly all that time without food or water. They have recovered.

WORLD'S FAIR FLYER WRECKED TRAIN GOES THROUGH BRIDGE INTO FLOODED RIVER. Pueblo, Col., Aug. 9.—The wreck of the world's fair flyer on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad near Eden, seven miles north of Pueblo, Sunday evening, proves to have been one of the greatest railroad disasters in the history of the country. Two crowded passenger cars and a baggage car were engulfed in the torrent that tore out a trestle spanning Dry creek, and, so far as known, only three of the occupants of these cars escaped death. Fortunately two sleeping cars and a diner remained on the track at the edge of the abyss and none of their occupants was killed or injured. At 8 o'clock last evening 76 bodies had been recovered and of these 50 had been identified. During the day bodies were recovered all the way along Fountain river from the scene of the wreck to this city. At 1 o'clock Monday afternoon two bodies were taken from the stream at First street, Pueblo, more than eight miles from the point where the disaster occurred, and it is probable that some may be recovered even further down stream. On the lookout for danger, warned by the squally clouds and heavy rains to the north, Engineer Charles Hindman was running cautiously, about 15 miles an hour, as he approached the arroyo, which was spanned by the bridge, 96 feet in length. The condition of the bridge was not known until the engine had nearly crossed. Fireman Frank Mayfield, with a torch that the engineer and the fireman had burning to ascertain the condition of the track, was in the gangway. When Engineer Hindman felt the tremor in the great machine and caught a glimmer on the water, he shouted his last words: "Put out that torch," evidently thinking that in the accident he felt certain was coming the flames would spread fire. But before Mayfield could obey, while the words were still on the lips of the doomed man and his hand seeking the mechanism controlling the air, the bridge gave way as though it had been a stack of kindling wood and the locomotive dropped 30 feet to the bottom of the arroyo, crosswise to the track. The baggage car, smoking car and chair car followed the locomotive into the stream and were swept away. All the occupants of these cars except three men perished, and had not the roof of the chair car burst asunder, none would have escaped. The fireman, as the locomotive went over, was thrown out and, managing to grasp a piece of wreckage from the bridge, floated with that to a curve made by the caving bank and crept out of the water. He ran toward Eden, meeting on the way Operator F. M. Jones and his wife, who already had started up the track. "Notify Pueblo," came the voice of the running man. "The train's gone down and everybody is killed." Even as he spoke there were cries coming from the distance. The two men ran to where the bridge had been, to search, but in vain, for victims of the disaster. When they reached the spot all cries for help had ceased. Relief trains with physicians, wreck outfits and scores of workmen were hurried from the city. The first train from the wreck came in shortly after midnight with four men who escaped. When dawn came the wonder grew that four had been permitted to emerge from the raging torrent with breath still in their bodies. The end of the Pullnian car Wyuta extended four feet over the brink, while broken timbers and twisted rails hung still further over. COAL IS NOT CONTRABAND. Secretary Hay Makes a Statement as to the Rights of Neutral Nations in Time of War. Washington, Aug. 9.—"The recognition in principle of the treatment of coal and other fuel and raw cotton as absolutely contraband of war might ultimately lead to a total inhibition of the sale by neutrals to the people of belligerent states, of all articles which could be finally converted to military uses. Such an extension of the principle by treating coal and other fuel and raw cotton as absolutely contraband of war, simply because they are shipped by a neutral to a non-blockaded port of a belligerent, would not appear to be in accord with the reasonable and lawful rights of a neutral commerce." This is a summary of a declaration by Secretary Hay on the right of neutral nations during war. It was embodied in a circular to American ambassadors to Europe which was issued from the state department June 10, but for some reason was withheld from the public, although certain shippers who inquired at the department after their right were supplied with copies. The circular is based on a declaration by the Russian government that coal, naphtha, alcohol and other fuel have been declared contraband. A $400,000 Fire Loss. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 9.—Fire in the five-story building at Nos. 251-257 Main street Monday afternoon caused a loss estimated at $400,000 and for a time threatened the Academy of Music next door, where a play was being produced. By hard work, however, the firemen confined the blaze to the building in which it started and the prompt appearance of cool headed fire fighters on the stage in the Academy of Music prevented what might have been a serious panic. The people left the play house without serious mishap. A Great Steal. New York, Aug. 9.—The most extensive jewelry robbery ever perpetrated in this country, involving a loss of $200,000, is reported to be engaging the attention of the police and scores of private detectives in eastern cities. Great secrecy surrounds the robbery. Eight Railroaders Drowned.

BUTLER, 55x-United States Senator From South Carolina. EX-U. S. Senator M. C. Butler from South Carolina, was Senator from that state for two terms. In a recent letter from Washington, D. C., he says: "I can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is indeed a wonderful medicine besides a good tonic."—M. C. Butler. Peruna is not simply a remedy for dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is generally dependent upon catarrh of the stomach. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

The German woman of the moment is strenuous in her athletic activity. Spring and summer have called with no uncertain voice to the living, pulsating creature known as the modern woman. Riding, golf, swimming, motoring, fencing—all these find room in the daily programme of the vigorous society girl, who in her healthful disipation has found the sovereign remedy for ennui. At the moment the golf links are her especial attraction. She has decided already that she shall be hattless. Hats are apt to get in the way. They often spoil a drive, and they blow about mercilessly in the wind and—"they look like taking care of one's health, which is very bad form howadays." Society girls are indulging in strange crazes. Smoking teas are the order of the day in exclusive clubs, and they have even learned to appreciate the American cocktail, which is becoming immensely popular in Berlin. Even in fashionable restaurants the sight of young ladies smoking cigarettes and drinking in full view of the public is no longer unusual. To Be Finest Military Post. To Be Finest Military Post. Plans have just been filed with the war department for reconstructing Fort Hamilton into what is thought will be the finest military post in the United States, if not in the world. Army men say that Fort Hamilton at present is thoroughly unsanitary, besides being small and unfitted for the importance of the position it occupies. Gen. Greenough, an artillery officer, who is also an artist and an architect, is the designer of the proposed new post. At present the reservation includes 150 acres. With the proposed enlargement it will cover 500 acres and become a great public work. Tolstol has written a book entitled What is Art?" One answer, remarks the Chicago Journal, is the way he manages to keep himself advertised. OLD FASHIONED But Still in the Fashion. It is an ever new and interesting story to hear how one can be entirely made over by change of food. "For two years I was troubled with what my physician said was the old fashioned dyspepsia. "There was nothing I could eat but 20 or 30 minutes later I would be spitting my food up in quantities until I would be very faint and weak. This went on from day to day until I was terribly wasted away and without any prospects of being helped. "One day I was advised by an old lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream, leaving off all fatty food. I had no confidence that Grape-Nuts would do all she said for me, as I had tried so many things without any help. But it was so simple I thought I would give it a trial, she insisted so. "Well, I ate some for breakfast and pretty soon the lady called to see her 'patient,' as she called me, and asked if I had tried her advice. "'Glad you did, child, do you feel some better?' 'No,' I said, 'I do not know as I do, the only difference I can see is I have no sour stomach, and come to think of it, I haven't spit up your four teaspoons of Grape-Nuts vet.' "Nor did I have any trouble with Grape-Nuts then or any other time, for this food always stays down and my stomach digests it perfectly; I soon got strong and well again and bless that old lady every time I see her. "Once an invalid of 98 pounds I now weigh 125 pounds and feel strong and well, and it is due entirely and only to having found the proper food in Grape-Nuts."

PARIS EVENING GOWNS THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WORLD TWO BECOMING AND USEFUL EVENING OR CARRIAGE WRAPS. PARIS.—There can be no doubt whatever that dress over here is quite beautiful, and at the best receptions where well-known American women and English grandes dames congregate, one notices lovely toilettes and superb figures. The magnificent in dress seems to suit the ideally tall, slight American figure, and gives it an exceptionally distinguished appearance. Evening reception gowns have been particularly gorgeous. There has been a great fancy for finest black Chantilly lace over softest white satin and taffeta. This may sound somewhat inclined to dowdiness, but it is not so when well carried out. Then the embroideries are really beautiful, while the mode of putting real stones on the front of the court bodice in stomacher style has a most regal effect. Let me describe a toilet in black and white for your benefit. It was made of the lightest make of Chantilly lace over satin messaline, looped up on the hips in "Dolly Varden" style, and decorated with great choux of black velvet and pailletted centers. Two more choux were worn, one in the hair and one on the shoulder. Over the draped bodice of black Chantilly fell a wonderful bertha of beautiful point d'Alencon, and on this were appliqued some motifs of the black Chantilly. These studies in black and white, devoid of colors, have a distinction all their own. But sometimes a successful note of color is struck in a black and white toilet by a cluster of dark red damask roses. A vivid touch of vieux-rose, too, introduced by means of carnations, is effective, and these flowers, I hear, are the cult in London as well as over here. When brought to perfection they are truly beautiful. Strong colors are still worn in the evening, but the craze for dark blue seems to be fading. Mulberry color is worn a good deal; a very bright shade is chosen as a rule, and it is generally relieved with lace. The evening dress of painted chiffon, with little medallions of lace let in, is still in vogue. It is made in fluffy, ethereal style, held in place by a well-shaped Marie Antoinette corsage. By the way, the newest court bodices fasten up behind. A good deal of lavender silk, satin and peau de soie is worn for smart afternoon and evening wear, and I predict that many toilettes composed of these fabrics in this color will be seen on the continent very shortly, made up with white embroiderd fichus or some old lace. Pale green is holding its own for evening wear, particularly in tender tones of eau de nil. Charming also is taffeta changeant in blue and green mixtures. There seems to be but little change in evening dresses at the present moment, judging from the early autumn frocks which the leading couturieres are making for les belles Americaines and travelers passing through Paris. The tulle and chiffon hat is conspicuous by its absence, and the pig picture hats for wearing at restaurants are mostly of lightest Panama chip and crinoline. The eighteenth century hat, with its pretty ribbon and floral decorations, is still worn with the afternoon muslin, but the elegantes will chiefly take on their travels for restaurant dining the high crowned picture hat of bold lines, with its long sweeping ostrich plume or a couple of beautiful flowers. Seasonable Fashion Gossip P Mary Crawd. A SMART LINEN GOWN. (Showing Waistcoat and Revers Finished with Buttons and Lace.) MANY of the new tailor-made coats boast short basques, while the severe, three- quarter directofre coat has been worn in Paris for some time. This mode will be revived in the autumn, but MANY of the new tailor-made coats boast short basques while the severe, three-quarter directoire coat has been worn in Paris for some time. This mode will be revived in the autumn, but I think in the hot weather at Cowes we should remain faithful to the short coat if possible. Always smart is the coat with the basque coming a little bit longer in the front than behind, and the Eton or bolero never seems to go out of fashion. It is young-looking, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1904. ANNETTE GIVRY. becoming to the slight woman, useful and smart. A delightful, fine cream serge costume showed a bolero thickly braided with flat silk braid, and finished with tiny silk buttons. The skirt was made with a braided panel all down the front and was also decorated with buttons; the braiding appeared again on the hips, and five enormous, flat tucks were noticeable at the hem. I much like these tucks on frocks of thick fabric. An attractive gray canvas had three big flat tucks at intervals round the skirt, with some fancy black and gold braid at the top of each. The bolero coat was held in at the waist by a deep black and gold braided band, and showed a daintily braided waistcoat with an inner vest of tucked muslin and Valenclennes lace. This was worn with a three-cornered hat of white felt, trimmed with black and gold cords, and a single waving Paradise plume. Buttons of a costly order form a very charming trimming on an otherwise plain frock. The neatest tailor-built blue serge gown (which has just come from Vienna and will be worn by a woman of distinction at some of the nautical entertainments), is trimmed with black braid and ornamented with tiny sapphire buttons set in gun metal. I have seen quite smart brown hollands and dark blue and white drills, made up with a real, old-fashioned sailor blouse, and worn over a pretty white muslin front or shirt. The skirts just clear the ground all round. Some are trimmed with coarse lace or a border of oriental embroidery, others have only strappings of the material, and I think the latter are the most effective. The neat suede or kid band is an appropriate finish to a gown of this description. ELLEN OSMONDE. escape this rule of much lace trimming.

Business Men Will Make an Effort to Secure Peace—Employes of the Beef Trust in New York Refuse to Work. Chicago, Aug. 10.—The stock yards strike was freer of rioting yesterday than at any time since the struggle with the packers began. With the exception of one small disturbance in the down town district late in the afternoon when friends of the strikers discovered a wagon load of meat being hauled through the streets by a retail merchant because of the strike of the teamsters, a crowd gathered and tried to overturn the vehicle, but they were dispersed before they had accomplished much damage. The day was practically free of violence. Kansas City, Aug. 10.—A mob of 200 men and boys, packing house strikers and their sympathizers, stopped an incoming train carrying strike breakers at Riverside, Kan., fast night, drove the non-union men from the train with clubs, threw their baggage into the Kaw river and set fire to the car. The police put out the fire before any damage had been done. No arrests were made. Chicago, Aug. 11.—Determined efforts are now being made to settle the stock yards strike by mediation. Negotiations begun yesterday between the Retail Butchers and Grocers' association and representatives of several labor unions which would undoubtedly be involved in the strike should it be prolonged much longer, resulted last night in the appointment of a committee to negotiate with the packers today in an attempt to bring about a joint meeting between the employers and the striking unions. Meantime, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, has been summoned from New York to come to Chicago and see if he cannot accomplish something through mediation. Mr. Gompers will arrive here Sunday. Under the direction of Mayor Harrison an investigation into the sanitary conditions of the various packing plants where strike breakers are being housed was begun yesterday. Several of the plants were visited, but no flagrant violations of the law were found. New York, Aug. 11.—Following the ultimatum given the packers by the Amalgamated Beef Cutters and Butchers' Workmen of America, that a general strike would go into effect yesterday, the order became operative. The plants affected are those affiliated with the so-called "beef trust." Two hundred strike breakers destined for the plant of Schwarzschild & Sulzberger were attacked by a number of beef workers and were completely routed. Several of the strike breakers were badly beaten and others, thoroughly frightened, jumped into the East river, from which they were rescued with difficulty. Washington, Aug. 11.—President Healy, of the International Brotherhood of Stationary Firemen, has ordered a sympathetic strike of the firemen in the New York packing houses. Lightning Killed Two People New York, Aug. 11.—During a thunder storm in this city and vicinity yesterday William Hagen, 27 years old, was killed by lightning while driving a truck in Brooklyn. An unidentified boy is also said to have been killed by lightning in Brownsville. Several buildings were struck, among them St. John's Evangelical Lutheran church in Hoboken, N. J. In Brooklyn lightning struck the trolley pole of a Rockaway avenue surface car and set fire to the car, in which there were 25 or 30 passengers. All the passengers were stunned for a moment, but recovered in time to leave the car before anyone was seriously burned. New York, Aug. 10.—The sport was exciting at the Empire City track on the second day of the grand circuit meeting. The feature of the day from a time standpoint was the $5,000 2:08 pace, for which the Canadian horse Gallagher was the favorite. In the first heat Pan Michael led to within a few yards of the wire, when the favorite came on and won by a head in $031/2, the fastest mile paced in a race this year. In the second heat Gallagher led from start to finish. The 2:20 trot was won by Snyder McGregor and Leonore won the 2:10 trot. Electric Car Ban Away Mauch Chunk, Pa., Aug. 11.—A big car on the Mauch Chunk, Leighton & Slatington street railway ran away in Beaver Run valley, south of Mauch Chunk Mountain, yesterday. The brakes refused to work and when the car struck a curve at the foot of the grade it turned completely over. Reuben Kresge, 75 years old, of Leighton, was probably fatally injured. A Crop Bulletin. Washington, Aug. 11.—The monthly report of the department of agriculture shows the condition of corn on August 1 to have been 87.3, as compared with 86.4 last month, and a tenyear August average of 83.5. Preliminary returns indicate a winter wheat crop of about 333,400,000 bushels, or an average of 12.3 bushels per acre. To Reclaim the Gold Vote. Chicago, Aug. 10. While there will be no general western democratic headquarters established in Chicago, it was stated yesterday that National Chairman Taggart will be in Chicago the latter part of the week for the purpose of organizing two of the most important campaign headquarters, both of which are to be located here. They are to be the German and the railway bureaus, the special mission of which is to reclaim for the democrats the gold vote which went to the republicans four years ago. Ignorates Visit the President Igorrotes Visit the President. Washington, Aug. 10.—Picturesquely, but quite adequately garbed, a party of eight Moro and Igorrote chiefs, constituting a part of the Philippine exhibit at the St. Louis exposition, yesterday paid their respects to President Roosevelt at the White House. The exchanges between the chiefs and the president were informal, but happy in their tone. Eight-Hour Law Is Knocked Out. New York, Aug. 10.—Justice White, of the supreme court, yesterday declared the eight-hour labor law unconstitutional. Trains Collide at Railroad Crossing In Chicago. A Number Injured Chicago—A Number Injured. Chicago, Aug. 10.—A mother and her three children were killed and a number of other persons seriously injured in a collision last night between a westbound Baltimore & Ohio local passenger train known as No. 17, and a Chicago & Erie freight train at the Brighton Park railroad crossing, at Western avenue and West Thirty-ninth street. The collision followed a frantic effort on the part of the crossing flagman to change the course of the freight train, to the crew of which he had given a signal that all was clear for them to back over the Baltimore & Ohio tracks. The passenger train, which was approaching rapidly, was struck by the freight cars and two of the coaches were overturned. One of the freight cars crashed through the woodwork of one of the coaches where the four who were killed were seated. They were a family of five and C. C. Schwartz, the father, was the only one who escaped with his life. Although taken from the wreck unconscious and suffering from broken bones and bruises, it is believed that his injuries will not prove fatal. The mother and three children were killed instantly. A rigid investigation will be made to determine who was responsible for the accident. Coroner Traeger as soon as notified of the wreck hastened with a force of men to the scene to determine where the blame lies. The officials of the Chicago & Erie and the Baltimore & Ohio roads also sent agents to the scene of the wreck and declare that they will: see that the guilty are punished. WAR IN ARMENIA. Turks Destroy Five Villages and Armenians Kill Hundreds of the Sultan's Soldiers. London, Aug. 10.—The Tabriz, Persia, correspondent of the Daily News in a dispatch dated August 6, says: "On July 13 a band of Armenian revolutionists appeared near Outchkillissa. Turkish soldiers and Kurds, finding an excuse, attacked and destroyed the villages of Outchkillissa, Koomlouboujak, Gougan, Karabazar and Sayto, butchering men and outraging women. "Two large Armenian bands marching to Sassoun to help the insurgent leader Antrank, attacked the garrisons at Mossunzory and Goutchagh for revenge on July 25. At dawn bombs were thrown into these places, killing many and severe fighting ensued. A majority of the soldiers were killed and the garrisons resembled graveyards. One band forced its way through the Kurdish tribes towards Arjess. The number of soldiers killed amounted to several hundreds." Ex-Senator Vest Dies. Sweet Springs, Mo., Aug. 10.—After lingering for weeks between life and death, ex-United States Senator G. G. EX-SENATOR VEST. Vest passed peacefully away yesterday.

Pennypacker has issued a proclamation designating August 20 as "Pennsylvania day" at St. Louis. In his proclamation the governor says: "Saturday, August 20, 1904, the one hundredth anniversary of the victory of Anthony Wayne, commanding the army of the United States, over the forces of the Indians aided by the British at the Fallen Timbers on the Maumee river, will be Pennsylvania day at the Louisiana Purchase exposition, and I invite the citizens of Pennsylvania to unite in an effort to make this occasion worthy of the commonwealth." An Alleged Assassin Is Arrested. Philadelphia, Aug. 10.—Nicholas Dennier was arrested at Ardmore, a suburb, yesterday, charged with complicity in the murder of Charles F. Hays, on July 30, near Portage, Pa. Hays, in company with Paymaster Campbell, was conveying $3,000 to the mines for the purpose of paying off the miners of the Puritam Coal and Mining Co. when they were shot from ambush. Hays died almost instantly, while Campbell was dangerously wounded. Foundry was Dynamited. Albany, N. Y., Aug. 10.—A partially successful attempt was made yesterday to wreck the plant of the West Side Foundry Co. in Colonie, near Watervliet, with dynamite. The explosion, which occurred in the motor room, damaged the dynamo, shattered a motor and started a fire which was extinguished with little damage. The company has had trouble with its employees since the beginning of the year. Removed the Restrictions. Washington, Aug. 10.—Postmaster General Payne has amended the postal regulations so as to permit for the first time elimination of all weight restrictions on first class mail matter addressed to all countries except Canada, Mexico and Cuba, to which the domestic privileges already apply. This action is the result of urgent requests by banking interests who want to send securities abroad in this way. The present maximum weight restriction on first class matter is four pounds.

Sold Sea Water and When Tide Went Out Purchaser Thought Him a Wonder. The late Thomas Brackett Reed used to relate the following incident which happened one summer while he was spending a few days in a small fishing village on the New England coast, says the New York Times. A young countryman who had been advised to take sea baths registered at the village hotel one evening, and shortly afterward sauntered down to the beach. Espying a grizzled old fisherman mending his nets beneath a sign which informed one that B——had boats and tackle to let and bait for sale, he accosted the veteran and asked him if the water was not for sale also. On receiving an affirmative reply the countryman returned to the hotel, obtained a couple of buckets, and having paid the price asked, filled them and returned to his room to carry out the doctor's instructions. On the following morning he happened down at the beach when the tide was out, and after contemplating the broad receding beaches for some minutes, approached his acquaintance of the evening before and remarked in a tone of admiration: "Gosh! but you must have done some business last night." Explained His Assertion. By the use of the saline solution, the Cheerful Idiot, who had been punched in the jaw for a previous offense, was revived. "What did you mean?" asked the anxious watchers, "when you said that you saw her draw a revolver?" "Perhaps the statement should be qualified," he admitted, in a dazed way. "She was sketching a merry-go-round, you know."—Cleveland Leader. Still More Evidence Bay City, Ill., August 8 (Special).—Mr. K. F. Henley, of this city, adds his evidence to that published almost daily that a sure cure for Rheumatism is now before the American people, and that that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Henley had acute Rheumatism. He has used Dodd's Kidney Pills. He says of the result: "After suffering for sixteen years with Rheumatism and using numerous medicines for Rheumatism and more medicines prescribed by doctors, I at last tried Dodd's Kidney Pills with the result that I got more benefit from them than all the others put together. "Dodd's Kidney Pills were the only thing to give me relief, and I recommend them to all suffering from Acute Rheumatism." Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid in the blood. Healthy kidneys take all the Uric Acid out of the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys. Evidences of Thrift "Mrs. Mudgely is such a thrifty woman." "I know it.

T These were especially severe when stooping to lift anything and often I could hardly straighten my back. The aching was bad in the day time, but just as bad at night, and I was always iame in the morning. I was bothered with rheumatic pains and dropical swelling of the feet. The urinary passages were painful and the secretions were discolored and so free that often I had to rise at night. I felt tired all day.
