All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. 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. Those southern white Christians who desire to handle or settle the "Negro question" to suit themselves, are still lynching and burning Afro-Americans. Those in Georgia are in the lead. Rev. D. Le Roy Ferguson has resigned the rectorship of an Arkansas Episcopal church because he could not comply with conditions made by his bishop, one Wm. M. Brown, formerly a Clevelander. Brown went south on his elevation to the bishopric and since has shown more prejudice against the race in public speech, north and south, than the average southern public man. He has "outheroded Herod." HARDLY LOYAL J. E. Hammond, a republican judge of the United States circuit court, West Tennessee, has been interviewed by members of the southern press in regard to the so-called "Negro plank" contained in the Chicago platform. This plank stands adopted by the political wisdom of the nation. Yet Judge Hammond in a most critical moment takes exception to the position of his party. Caught in a sort of dilemma, and a judge for life regardless of parties, he weakens and offers a betrayal of one of the fundamental principles of his party. He would prefer not to antagonize propositions so clear and so universally indorsed by the best brain of the country. But the judge is asked to give an opinion. Living in the south and mingling in the best circles of southern society, he felt that he must be in harmony with the dominant sentiment and consequently he makes issue against the platform of his party, against a legitimate demand of the constitution and against that conservative idea promotive of the peace and security of our system of government. The judge cannot believe that the men who adopted that platform were a set of fools. He cannot suppose that the adoption was made otherwise than upon a deliberate and candid sense of their obligation to national honor. On the contrary the judge well knows that the delegates in that gathering were acting upon the strongest convictions of duty, a duty which they felt themselves bound by oath to render to their country and the people. He is asked his opinion and viewing the unpleasant attitude in which he finds himself, being interviewed by a powerful democratic organ, he quailed as he lisped in stammering words to Balaam's God, "the plank, the Negro plank,—that plank is mere brutem fulmen". Heaven's God! The judge hides his humiliation in one of the dead languages. We don't wonder he sought to conceal his opinion in a hidden language. Still he is entreated, and with an air of self-sufficiency, the judge again rallied in response; "I do not think that any senator or representative in congress can draw an act conforming to the conditions of the fourteenth amendment under which the threat of reduction in representation is made. The section to which the plank impliedly refers, is practically unworkable." A conglomeration indeed! A new charge. O! Calius Caezar! and before this day unheard of! Lacking in the real courage becoming a republican, Mr. Hammond surrenders the principles of our federal laws to the very party that now ignores the constitution, and tells the American people that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments are unworkable. In this, he repudiates our free system of government and places himself in the attitude of a traitor. But in these trying times, men must be what they profess to be. If they are republicans and stand for the constitution, let them show themselves as such. They cannot be republican and democratic at the same time. They must be one or the other. Now, if Judge Hammond is a republican, he must keep step with the music of his party and quit catering to democratic whims. He must stand pat and dare let the world know that he is for justice, for country and the supremacy of the laws against all compromise. Great as an expounder, yet the judge must bear in mind that under all circumstances, national existence is the issue and it is always best to deal justly than compromise the rights and liberties of citizens for the sake of personal aggrandizement.

He characterizes the democratic platform as the embodiment of Jeffersonian principles and urges protection of the in- Gov. Hogg Repudiates Judge Parker Gov. Hogg Repudiates Judge Parker. Galveston, Tex.—When Gov. Hogg appeared at the democratic convention recently, he was enthusiastically greeted, and a special session was held to hear him address that body. In the course of his talk consternation was produced when he declared: "Roosevelt has done much for this country in bursting three of the greatest trusts—the traffic trust, the Northern Securities trust, and the Trans-Missouri trust. If Parker is elected and does as well in four years on his rickety platform as Roosevelt in six months, I say bless him." Concerning the Booker T. Washington dinner at the White House, he said that if President Roosevelt wished to entertain a Negro thus it is undemocratic for democrats to interfere. He pronounced the "Negro question" a great bugaboo and a ruse to attract attention from the real issue. He said he was heartily ashamed of the democrats in their efforts to make this the leading issue in a great political discussion. He pronounced Parker the locked-jaw judge and Bryan the greatest man who ever lived. Old Enough to Vote. Our esteemed contemporary, The Cleveland Gazette, has successfully reached the ripe age of twenty and one, and its editor and publisher, Harry C. Smith, is correspondingly happy. The Gazette has fought its way to a permanent position in the newspaper world without meeting with any more damage than the average Japanese warship. While not always in accord with its views, we speak for The Gazette a long and useful career in the future battles it will wage in behalf of the race.—Detroit (Mich.) Informer. Wants to Know Her Father's Whereabouts. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: I am desirous of obtaining information as to the whereabouts of my father, Dervusia 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. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1904. LARGEST OF ITS KIND. Galveston, Tex., Celebrates the Completion of Its Sea Wall. TO GET $500 A MONTH. Hannah Elias Sued by John R. Platt Very Low Homeseeker's Rates Via the Nickel Plate Road to the west, northwest, south and SPECI Galveston, Tex., Aug. 23.—The completion of the Galveston sea wall, the greatest structure of its kind in the world, was celebrated Monday by running excursions from different parts of the state to Galveston. Gov. Lanham was present and made an eulogistic address, commenting on the remarkable work which had been accomplished here, Galveston being now in line to seek advantage from the unique position of the city as an up-to-date American port and railroad center nearest of all to the new Panama canal and natural outlet for the commerce of nearly one-half the United States. The sea wall was completed the last of July. Two granite monuments were erected at the foot of Tremont street to commemorate the completion of the wall and the monuments were unveiled yesterday. The Galveston sea wall represents one of the finest pieces of engineering work ever accomplished in America. The wall is 17,593 feet long, 16 feet wide at the base, five feet wide at the top, and stands 17 feet above mean low tide with a granite riprap apron extending 27 feet out in the gulf. The contract price of the wall was $1,198,318. The actual construction of the wall proper consumed one year, four months and 17 days. The grade of the city is now to be raised to slope gradually from the top of the sea wall. This will necessitate a raising of the grade from one to 15 feet, according to location. For this purpose the state of Texas has donated all state taxes collected in Galveston county for a period of 18 years. Bonds to the amount of $1,500,000 are to be issued for this purpose. A contract has been let for the grade raising work. Under the terms of the contract a canal is to be dug on the inside of the sea wall which will permit the entrance of hopper dredges, loaded with sand taken from the channel in the bay, to come in and discharge the filling to the required depth. This work is now under way. The last session of congress provided for an extension of the Galveston county sea wall to protect Fort Crockett, for a distance of 4,000 feet to the west. This will extend the wall so that the city of Galveston on the gulf side will be protected by a sea wall the full extent of its incorporate limits. DEPORTED MEN WILL SUE. Victims of Colorado Mobs Will Seek Compensation by Legal Process Compensation by Legal Processes. Denver, Aug. 23.—H. N. Heinerdinger and J. S. Hall, representatives of the Inter-State Mercantile Co., who were expelled from Cripple Creek Saturday by a mob, have retained ex-Gov. Charles S. Thomas, who will begin suit in the federal court for an injunction for bidding interference with them and their property in Cripple Creek. They also will seek compensation from Teller county for their losses. Suits for damages also will be brought by the deportees against the leaders of the mob, who are all known. Thomas Parfet, who, was beaten by the mob, is preparing an affidavit to be forwarded to President Roosevelt, with a request for federal protection. Cripple Creek, Col., Aug. 23.—County Clerk Frank P. Mannix, who is on his ranch at Montrose, sent a telegram yesterday commissioning Knox Burton as deputy county clerk, vice Michael J. O'Neil, who was deported by the mob. Mr. Burton was under sheriff of Teller county at the time of the Independence station explosion and the Victor riot, and, with Sheriff Henry Robertson, was deposed from office by the citizens. It is understood that no objection to Mr. Burton's acting as deputy county clerk will be made. County Clerk Mannix remains away it is, said, in consequence of threats that have been made against him. Colorado Springs, Col., Aug. 23.—Eugene N. Engley, attorney general of Colorado during the Waite administration, one of the men run out of Cripple Creek on Saturday, argued a case in court yesterday. "I intend to return to Cripple Creek," he said, "and I shall protect myself. I am not connected with the Western Federation of Miners in any capacity, my services to that organization having ceased six months ago." Mrs. Botkin Gets a Life Sentence. San Francisco, Aug. 23.—Mrs. Cordelia Botkin was yesterday sentenced by Judge Cook to life imprisonment in the state prison at San Quentin for the murder of Mrs. John P. Dunning, in Dover, Del., by means of poisoned candy malled from this city. In passing sentence Judge Cook expressed regret that he could not impose the death penalty, as the jury in its verdict had fixed the punishment. An appeal to the supreme court will be taken by Mrs. Botkin's attorneys. Two Men Killed by a Train. New Brunswick, N. J., Aug. 23. The dead bodies of two men were found yesterday beside the Pennsylvania tracks near Plainsboro, both having been apparently killed by an express train. The men were identified as Harry Peffly, discharged last Saturday from the cruiser Topeka, and Harry Williams, of Mount Pleasant, Pa. Peffly enlisted in the navy at Ft. Wayne, Ind. A. Sweeping Reduction. Altoona, Pa., Aug. 23.—The Pennsylvania Railroad Co. yesterday made the most sweeping reduction in the time of the men employed that has taken place since the panic of 1873. The employees of the machine shops were notified that, commencing today, they would be divided into shifts, each shift to work every other day, eight hours to constitute a day's work. One shift will work Monday and Wednesday and the other Tuesday and Thursday. The remainder of the week the shops will be closed down entirely. Canadian manufacturers say that places for 6,717 working men, women and boys are vacant in their factories. German medical journals are recommending as a remedy for appendicitis walking on all fours 20 minutes four times a day. The exercise strengthens the abdominal muscles. In formic acid Dr. Clement, of the French Academy of Medicine, claims to have discovered a wonderful remedy for muscular fatigue. He combines it with bicarbonate of soda to save the stomach from distress. Hannah Elias Sued by John R. Platt Is Also to Retain Wearing Apparel, Undisturbed. New York City.—Hannah Elias has been granted an allowance of $500 a month from the rents of the real estate owned by her, under an order made by Judge Blanchard of the supreme court, pending the trial of the suit brought against her by John R. Platt, an octogenarian retired glass manufacturer, who is seeking to recover $685,000 which, he asserts, she obtained from him during an acquaintance of eight years. She is also allowed to occupy, free of rent, the residence in Central Park West, in which she resided at the time the suit was begun, and she is not to be disturbed in her possession of her wearing apparel. Gilbert M. Montague is named as temporary receiver of the real and personal property of Mrs. Elias, including all monies that she has on deposit in various trust companies and banks in this city. He is to take charge of the collection of the rents of the real estate. The real estate named is that which the aged man declared she purchased with the money he alleges she obtained by means of threats, and he seeks to have this property impressed with a trust in his favor until the suit can be determined on its merits.

C. — President Roosevelt has been told by a delegation from Louisiana that unless he could do something to settle the differences between the "Regular" and "Lily White" republican factions of that state all prospects or hope for republican victory in one or two congressional districts would go glimmering. At present the feeling is so bitter that two sets of congressional candidates and presidential electors are expected to be put in the field. The president talked to the delegation for over half an hour, smoothed them down and then turned them over to Chairman Cortelyou. They went on to New York to see Mt. Cortelyou because they declared that things cannot go on as they are in Louisiana. Incidentally, the delegation, which was composed of "Regulars," hinted to the president that they should be given a little more of the federal patronage in the state. About 95 percent of the offices are now held by the "Lily Whites." The delegation was composed of Emile Kantz, P. F. Herwig, D. A. Hines, Armand Romain, Joseph Fabacher, J. M. Haggerty, Girault Farrar, and J. H. Gregory. They laid before the president the whole fight between their faction and the "Lily Whites," and bitterly resented the attitude of the "Lily Whites" in refusing to take part in any movement for republican unanimity if the Afro-American was to be allowed a conspicuous part in the proceedings.

Are in No Hurry to Name a Warden. Columbus, O., Aug. 25.—The board of penitentiary managers announced yesterday that there would be no warden named for, the institution before the September meeting.

Most of the Ailments Peculiar to the Female Sex are Due to Catarrh of Polvie Organs. MRS. M. BRICKNER. "A short time ago I found my condition very serious, I had headaches, pains in the back, and frequent dizzy spells which grew worse every month. I tried two remedies before Peruna, and was discouraged when I took the first dose, but my courage soon returned. In less than two months my health was restored."—Mrs. M. Brickner. The reason of so many failures to cure cases similar to the above is the fact that diseases peculiar to the female sex are not commonly FEMALE TROUBLE NOT RECOGNIZED AS CATARRH. recognized as being caused by catarrh. Catarrh of one organ is exactly the same as catarrh of any other organ. What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs. Peruna cures these cases simply because it cures the catarrh. If you have catarrh 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. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O. QUEER RULES FOR EMPLOYES. Some Commercial Houses in New York Put Rigid Restrictions on Hirsute Appendages. It is a pretty well known fact that there exists in the famous banking house of Coutts & Co., of New York city, a rule that the members of the office staff shall be clean shaven. At one time it was a hard and fast rule for high and low alike, and any bearded or bewhiskered applicant for a vacancy was given to understand he would have to remove his hirsute decorations ere he could fill the post. This rule is not nowadays so rigidly enforced, but it still exists in the form of a general understanding that it is the expressed wish of Baroness Burdett-Coutts that employees should keep chins, lips and cheeks nicely devoid of hair. In not a few businesses similar restrictions are sternly imposed upon employees. For instance, in the offices of Messrs. Field, Farmer & Co., a New York stock broking firm, short side whiskers, commonly known as "mutton-chops," are absolutely forbidden, owing to some unpleasantness having arisen at one time through a partner and a clerk wearing a similar hirsute adornment. They Even Hold Up Trains. The Klondike mosquito is said to be the worst on earth, but here comes a Siberian traveler, Mr. Dobbie, who insists that the venomous mid-Asian variety is hard to beat, says the New York Press. Residents along the line of the Siberian road never seem to stray abroad without enveloping their hands and faces in thick green veils. Whenever a mosquito enters a railroad car all the passengers with one accord make for it, and a period of restlessness and unusual activity supervenes until the tormenter is dead. Burdensome Wealth. A Long Island man paid $150 judgment in pennies. Whether he was trying to realize the weight of his obligation or bear the copper market is not apparent, remarks the New York Telegraph, but at any rate he made the other fellow sensible of the fact that wealth may be a burden. AS EASY. The food of childhood often decides whether one is to grow up well nourished and healthy or weak and sickly from improper food. It's just as easy to be one as the other, provided we get a proper start. A wise physician like the Denver Doctor who knew about food, can accomplish wonders, provided the patient is willing to help and will eat only proper food. Speaking of this case the Mother said her little four-year-old boy was suffering from a peculiar derangement of the stomach, liver and kidneys and his feet became so swollen he couldn't take a step. "We called a Doctor who said at once we must be very careful as to his diet, as improper food was the only cause of his sickness. Sugar especially, he forbid. "So the Dr. made up a diet and the principal food he prescribed was Grape-Nuts and the boy, who was very fond of sweet things, took the Grape-Nuts readily without adding any sugar. (Dr. explained that the sweet in Grape-Nuts is not at all like cane or beet sugar but is the natural sweet of the grains.) "We saw big improvement inside a few days and now Grape-Nuts are almost his only food and he is once more a healthy, happy, rosy-cheeked youngster with every prospect to grow up into a strong healthy man." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. The sweet in Grape-Nuts is the Nature-sweet known as Post Sugar, not digested in the liver like ordinary sugar, but predigested. Feed the youngsters a handful of Grape-Nuts when Nature demands sweet and prompts them to call for sugar. There's a reason. Get the little book "The Road to Wallyville" in each pkg.

The gown under consideration was made touching the floor all around, front and sides as well as the back sweeping a little; but no train; trains are quite gone out. In fact, some of the dancing frocks are only of instep length, have a perceptible rise from the ground. On very young girls the effect is good and the style becoming to some of the elders. Efforts are made to have skirts full not only at the bottom but also at the top, but so far the efforts have not been successful, the general beinomness of a close fit at the hips making my lady slow to adopt fullness in the upper portion of the skirt, though welcoming each additional quarter-yard below the knee. To allow of the increased fullness there, godets are sometimes set in, and this year there is almost an exaggerated flare. Conservative dressers can congratulate themselves that established fashions do not really change with the elect with the rapidity reported. Life is too short, we all have too many interests, to desire novelty in dress 12 times a year, and as a rule what holds good of prevailing summer styles holds good of winter fashions; but just now there is noticeable an attack on the long sloping shoulder, the innovation of the broad, square shoulder. This tendency we take no paints to decry, for, as always, extremists have begun to make beholders aweary of the elongated slant over the arm. When the dip belt was carried by ultra ones down about to the knees, good taste said, Hold, enough, and the fine lines Bernhard gave us were in danger of disappearing through the foolishness of the "loud" people; now the 1830 styles are threatened, owing to the class that never is satisfied with mod- T HE city shop windows are bright with plaids, new fall materials for waistings. We notice soft tones and blendings rather than gaudy coloring and sharp contrasts, and would advise that selections of such goods be made with reference to the skirt with which the waist is to be worn, taking care to have the predominating color of the plaid match the skirt. Separate skirts are to be worn in spite of the popularity of the shirt waist suit, and among the novelties in these dealers will display poplin models. A poplin skirt, light-weight plaid wool waist, and crush leather belt, will constitute H.G. A WASHABLE WAIST. a modish outing costume for the fall girl, who is reluctant to give up the comfortable fabrics of summer for the thick heavy cloths of winter. But in our land of Indian summer, for many weeks yet one can cling to thin out-door wear, and no time of the year do we feel more like following the modern injunction that health demands few garments and those unhampering. Crepe de chine, a washable material of beauty and richness, is excellently employed in the waist shown in the illustration. The design is simple, the style depending on the good cut. The stitching should be done in silk the shade of the material, and a girdle and stock of panne velvet of like shade might be added for dressy occasions. If any lace is desired, use it sparingly, as the fancy now is for little lace and that of very fine quality. White is persisted in during the fall as long as one can wear it and not look frozen to death, and though white has had a long day, it shows this year no sign of decrease of favor.

Certainly the long shoulder is still with us, remains the only proper style as yet, but exaggerated length is not at all the thing. Besides, it is very unbecoming; makes a thin woman look forlorn, a stout one ridiculous. The Directoire is the style that is endeavoring to push the 1830 to the wall, but a modified Directoire, and with rlvals in the form of Louis XV. and Louis XVI. modes. For the Directoire followers is shown a simple long skirt. leavoid of trimming, but the coat made jaunty with fancy waistcoat and revers: the little vest may be a jabot ect of row upon row of narrow lace, of satin or soft CHARMING AFTERNOON GOWN, leather richly embroidered; the revers must be still another material, the cuffs matching these. Velvet gowns recently imported from Paris are beautiful Directoire models, the rich material admirably lending itself to this revived fashion, and admirably contrasting with the embroideries and laces used as decoration. But velvet gowns are not for all of us, and it may delight many to learn that our old friend cashmere, so long kept in the background, is to return again to the shop windows, and be accounted one of the modish fabrics. Poplins, cashmere, velvets, there is quite a choice for the dressy gown. wear it, and few find it unbecoming. Thick duck really is more suitable to the crisp days of autumn than to hot summer weather, looks more attractive. Serge and mohair, too, now show to best advantage, and though the windows are displaying furs and heavy cloth, above stairs the tables are strewn with what people are buying—left-over white costumes, or separate skirts and coats. For garden parties, and sometimes at church, more elaborate white gowns are seen; one of decided beauty, a white volle, made with a sort of surplice waist, full skirt and elbow sleeves, some cluny lace showing about the neck and down the front of the waist? Many ladies are being tempted to indulge in a midseason hat of white felt, and the all-white costume, for both shoes and hose match, makes even an elderly person look youthful. The white felt hats are round, rather low-crowned, and trimmed with feathers or pompons in military style. They look appropriate with a merely outing costume, and are not at all out of place with a fancier gown. In the windows the white hats are perched side by side with light-colored ready-to-wears, whose trimmings show the shades that are to be fashionable later on. These shades are at once brilliant and soft; emerald, orange, copper and cockscomb, the three latter promising to have no small vogue. As for millinery materials, chenille will again be popular, shaded and plaid effects will be worn. A beautiful imported hat of cockscomb velvet is a harmony of several tones, the under brim of plain velvet, the upper showing glimpses of taffeta of a lighter coloring, and the bunch of tips constituting the trimming of a still lighter shade. Jet, steel and gold glitter individually on the fall hats, and embroidered bands will decorate the ever-present picture hat. A departure, and a pretty one, is to have the hat brim faced with fancy ribbon that blends with the material of which the hat is composed; for instance, a dark blue velvet hat is faced with moire ribbon of hyacinth blue—carrying out the color schemes so liked this summer. Fashions in neck wear change tire-somely fast, but there are two new styles deserving mention. One is a linen stock which opens in front and is fastened by a Windsor tie that passes through a buttonholed slit at either side near the front. The second collar referred to is a lay-down collar made of three rows of fine insertion and edged with a frill of narrow lace; a piece of inch-wide velvet ribbon passes under the collar at the back, and fastens in front in a four-in-hand, falling about to the waist line.

PURE FOOD CRUSADE United States Government Intends to "Put the Screws On." Washington, Aug. 24.—A chemical laboratory for the examination of imported food products will be opened in the appraisers' stores building of the treasury department in New York, by the department of agriculture, September 5. Five expert chemists will be installed, having been selected through special examinations by the civil service commission. This is the first of a number of port laboratories to be established to prevent impure food, the product of foreign countries, entering the United States. Congress will be asked for appropriations for such laboratories at Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco and Chicago. The foreign pure food law has been in force more than a year and is regarded as beyond the experimental stage. Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture, declares that it is the intention of the department now "to put the screws on." When the pure food law first was put into operation it was found that 78 per cent. of the imports of foods and drinks were admissible under its provisions. Many cargoes have been reshipped out of the country as impure, resulting in raising the standard of imports until now it is estimated that 85 per cent. of the imports are admissible under the law. The secretary of agriculture has just granted the first request of an importer to destroy his cargo instead of reshipping it, after it had been condemned as impure, the cargo being olives. A set of "Suggestions to importers of food products" has just been issued by the bureau of chemistry, in which specific information is given as to what will and what will not be considered as adulterated. impure, misbranded or otherwise obnoxious articles under the law. The analysis of whisky in this list is drawn with a view of holding up what is termed "Scotch whisky," according to Dr. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry. Dr. Wiley declares that there is not a barrel of pure Scotch whisky in the United States, and that the importations of this article are practically all concoctions, and should be labeled "Compound." THE CZAR'S MANIFESTO. It Lifts Burdens from the Shoulders of the Poor, Abolishes Corporal Punishment and Grants Amnesty. St. Petersburg, Aug. 24.—Emperor Nicholas' manifesto on the birth of an heir to the throne, the text of which will be published to-day, abolishes corporal punishment among the rural classes and for first offenses among the sea and land forces; remits arrears owing to the state for purchases of land and other direct imposts; sets apart $1,500,000 from the state funds for the purpose of forming an inalienable fund for the benefit of the landless people of Finland; grants amnesty to those Finlanders who have emigrated without authorization; remits the fines imposed upon the rural and urban communes of Finland which refused to submit to military conscription in 1902 and 1903, and also remits the fines imposed upon the Jewish communes in the cases of Jews avoiding military service. The manifesto provides for a general reduction in sentences for common law offenses, while a general amnesty is accorded in the case of all political offenses with the exception of those in which murder has been done. A DEED OF TRUST. Three Banks Unite in an Effort to Set It Aside. Washington, Aug. 24.—A sensation was caused in this city Tuesday when it became known that a petition in bankruptcy had been filed by three of the leading national banks of the city against Thomas E. Waggaman, a prominent real estate and insurance agent of this city and treasurer of the Catholic university. The petition at the same time seeks to set aside a deed of trust recorded Monday on Mr. Waggaman's property for approximately $876,000 in favor of the Catholic university, on the ground that it is void as being an attempt by an insolvent debtor to prefer one of his creditors. The petitioning banks were the Second national bank, the National Metropolitan bank and the National Bank of Washington, each of which alleged it held overdue and unpaid paper of Mr. Waggaman's, the total amount held by the three exceeding $40,000, of which $30,000 is due the Metropolitan bank. It is probable that the proceedings are the beginning of considerable litigation. Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 24.—Six employees of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Railroad Co. were injured yesterday in an accident to a hand car at Lincoln Park. After getting under way on the hand car the men began to crowd each other. Andrew John, who was near the edge of the car, was pushed off, falling under the wheels of the car. The shock of the wheels meeting his body overthrew the car, which was traveling about ten miles an hour, and the men were dumped into a ditch at the side of the tracks, with the car on top of them. Two of the men, it is thought, will die. Land Boom Is Subsiding Washington, Aug. 24.—Records of the public land office for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1904, show that 16,258,892 acres of public lands were disposed of during the year, as compared with 22,650,928 acres last year. The total cash received for these lands was $8,795,893. The number of entries was 172,857. These figures indicate that the public land boom of last year is subsiding somewhat. Last year was the record year for 20 years, and the present is next highest in the number of acres disposed of by the government. A Receiver for Three Oil Companies. Muncie, Ind., Aug. 24.—The Muncie Trust Co. has been appointed receiver for the Central Coal, Oil and Gas Co., the Gopher Oil Co. and the Laroca Oil Co., having a combined capital stock of $1,250,000, on complaint of the Muncie Gas Engine and Supply Co., which charged that the companies are insolvent.

FRIENDS FOR A MINUTE. Levy and Cohen Try to Make Up, But Soon Strike a Discord dant Note. Levy and Cohen came out of the synagogue on New Year's day. It was the day of atonement, of forgiving, of making up, relates the New Orleans Times-Democrat. Levy approached Cohen and extended a great fat hand. "Cohen," said he, "ve haf not shipoken for dvendy years. Come! Ve make fredts." Cohen silently shook. "Now, Cohen," continued the reconciliant. "ve go ofer to Bungleheim's unt haf a drink." Arm in arm they crossed the street. Drinks were ordered and set before them. Cohen, convinced at last of the sincerity of the other's advances, spoke for the first time. "Levy," he said, "I am glad of it. I raise my glass to you, Levy. Vish me somedials." "Mit all my heart,' replied Levy, and raised his glass in turn. "Cohen, my dear friendt," said he, "I wish you shoost vat you wish me!" The growing smile faded from Cohen's face and he set his glass down with a bang. "Py Abraham!" he exclaimed.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for me, suffering from the ills peculiar to the sex, extreme latitude and that all gone feeling. I would rise from my bed in the morning feeling more tired than when I went to bed, but before I had used two bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I began to feel the buoyancy of my younger days returning, became regular, could do more work and not feel tired than I had ever been able to do before, so I continued to use it until I was restored to perfect health.

I used it for a little over three months, and at the end of that time I suffered no pain at the menstrual period, nor was I troubled with those distressing pains which compelled me to go to bed, and I have not had a headache since.
