D. Leroy Ferguson is a credit to his people and we are proud of him. Would that there were thou- sands of his kind. The tribe is slowly increasing. It is encouraging. eee oot The Jackson (Tenn.) Christian In- @ex editorial, which we reproduce in this paper, is excellent and informa- tion to many well worth remember- ing. There is much truth in it. The next National Afro-American council meeting, if it is desired to make it the success it should be, should not be held in St. Louis, Mo., and made a “side show” for the bene- fit of that insulting (to Afro-Ameri- cans) “World’s” Fair. sect e Senator Joe Bailey, of Texas, and the rest of the leading democratic speakers who to date have “opened the campaign” for their side of the presidential contest, have made a very poor showing indeed.- ‘Their puerile attempts to make national issues Of the president's manly stand in favor of a citizen’s treatment and equal opportunity for all deserving ‘Americans, regardless of class or col- or, will only help Mr. Roosevelt's ‘chances and the republican cause. Democracy is weak this year, not only as to issues but also as a party. ‘There is positively no“hgpe for Park- ver and Davis, thank God! ‘The use of the word “Negress” in referring to colored women, as is the habit of a few white newspapers, is intended as a degradativn, and an in- Bult to the race, The day is not far ‘distant when such papers will be barr- ed out of colored peoples’ homes, as they should be. The loss of such circulation will cause a proper respect for the feelings of the race, ai least in this one instance.—Indianapolis Recorder. The editor of The Gazette has re- cently called the attention of the edi- tors of local daily papers, to their occasional use of the insulting “word,” and hopes that they will de- sist. If they do not, it will then be time for our people who patronize their papers, to act along the line sug- gested by our confrere of the Re- eorder. A section of the United States con- stitution is mandatory in its require- ment of the reduction of the congress representation of a state that disfran- chises a sufficient number of citizens. ‘This is a wise provision, too. Seven or eight southern states are guilty of violating this section of the funda. mental law of the land, and it rests with the congress to determine whether or not the constitution is supreme, and whether or not it is to be respected and obeyed, in every ‘part of the country. This is really the great’ question at issue. It is a foolish waste of time and effort to discuss-the wisdom of the provision, arguing against reduction of repre- Bentation, and when indulged in by Afro-Americans who only suffer as a result of disfranchisement, such dis- cussion is almost race disloyalty, to say the least. Some of our contem- Poraries can study the question from ‘this broader viewpoint, with decided advantage to their readers and them- welves. The congress eoieeeagas ¢ of every “disfranchising” state ought to be reduced and promptly too. NOT PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, BUT DEMOCRACY AND CASTE. Any and every occurring incident whether important or trivial that is unfavorable to the race or serves as an ugly reflection upon our people is frantically appropriated by the demo- ‘cratic press of the south, to the de- triment.of the republican party. Mat- ters instigated by the bad blood of democracy are charged to President Roosevelt, thus evincing the desper- fate straits to which democracy has resorted in order to create capital for the campaign. Outbreaks, cruel and fiendish, are constant in the south. All along since reconstruction these ‘outbreaks have been growing worse until ‘the whole country has been smitten with the stroke of the far- reaching evil. The Chattanooga (Tenn,) Times is pleased to charac- terize! the recent outbreaks in Kan- gas and Indiana 2s furnishing con- sineing testimony to the quality of ‘the issue Mr. Roosevelt has forced in- to the campaign, and that our neigh- ‘ors across Mason and Dixon‘s line are to get a taste of the color ques- tion in a way as never before. “at Oyster Bay, right under the presi- dent’s nose, Negroes are insisting on doing things which they have never thought of before, and are manifest- fug a spirit of aggressiveness. that THRE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1904. bodes no good for the peace and order of that unusually quiet village.” The above is simply a@ fabrication of un- mitigated falsehood. The Times very well knows that its motive is sinister and that it imposes upon the presi- dent a responsibility undeserved. It is the nature of some men to be ag- gressive and the Afro-American is no exception to a universal rule. On the whole the refusal of a white barber to shave a “would be Negro custom- er” is a small matter when borne in mind that such a refusal is not an uncommon thing even in the north. But if it comes to pass that some Afro-Americans revolt against an in- tended indignity, it is the consuma- tion of unblushing stupidity that a partisan press should charge an in- dividual action to Mr. Roosevelt. Human aggressiveness is not a ques- tion to be brought into the present campaign; but the readiness of a par- tisan press to push on a wicked cru- sade against the people's candidate and to maliciously and wilfully per- vert truth and public feeling only to lead and beguile the masses is the matter which public justice demands should be frowned down, and con- demned. All American campaigns should be conducted upon an hondr- able basis dnd it would be only in fair dealing that the people irrespec- tive of party should ignore the merest pattempe to blindfold and mislead well-meaning citizens. kee, er ee rata ee eee ee ee Mr. Wm. Lloyd Garrison, son of the illustrious departed, brings Rey. Ed- ward Everett Hale to book for words of eulogy upon the life and charac- ter of the late Marcus A. Hanna. We, ourselves, are content to let the dead rest in peace. But since these two worthies, men who themselves are exceptionally great, have seen fit to advance views touching the real mer- its of one prominent in the affairs of the republic, we offer a word in this connection. - Ex-Senator Hanna can no longer speak for himself nor at- tempt a vindication of the position which he sustained before the Ameri- can people. That he attained great distinction can not be denied and that he showed a generosity of kind will not be questioned. But, that Mr. Han- na absolutely did discriminate where discrimination was least needed, must be admitted by the close and casual observer. Hailing from a high mind- ed, and liberty-loving Christian peo- ple as constitute the best element of Cleveland and consequently the best class known to the world, he could have well afforded to lend his voice in the nation’s senate in defense of the defenseless Afro-American. But, in this respect, Mr. Hanna was as si- lent as the grave. He was little dis- posed to recognize the brave and pa- triotic efforts af black men who were as ready as himself to die for their country. He was opposed to the pro- motion of Afro-Americans to first- class positions under the government, for which they had already given their lives and his very example was a Hyving protest against the equal rights and protection of American citizens, ‘under a free constitution, which had guaranteed the fullest freedom to all men. In this, he arrayed himself against the great principles contained in the thirteenth, fourteenth and fif- ‘teenth amendments of our great mag- na charter. Hailing from Ohio as a senator from one of the great states of the nation and as the leader of the grandest political party on earth, it is to be deplored that a man of such superb powers of mind could not have lined himself with the Sumners, the Conklings, the Chases and other great minds of our country. But we would not write harshly of the dead. Mark Hanna is no more. Let us lift the mantel of charity above his tomb. In reply to Rev. Edward Everett Hale, Mr. Garrison quotes from the New York Sun, charges against the sena- tor which are not altogether just. The offices of the country were not at his entire disposal and it was therefore utterly impossible for him to have used them as a whole to the party’s advantage. He was more partial to the south in its disfranchisement of Afro-Americans than he was to their fight of suffrage. Therefore, it is un- just to hold that he treated the south as a captured province. Few men be- Neve with the Sun that he was the foe to all attempts to purify the public service, yet the editor recklessly ‘makes this charge in defiance of a ‘consistency which bound him to a ‘noble constitutency. That he was the friend and champion of the spoilsman is a declaration as startling as it is extravagant and admits not of a mo- ment’s consideration, We can afford to be just, and it is hardly possible that Senator Hanna could have so stultified himself as to assume an at- titude ‘so contrary to the behest of his party and so utterly at variance with the avowed prineiples of true patriot- ism. Hesmay have been more parti- san than statesmanlike, and he may have allowed himself to be controlled largely by his prejudices; but Sena- tor Hanna was great in his sphere. strong in the activities and duties of his senatorial career, but it is conclu- sive that he was too wise, too cir- cumspect and lofty in dignified bear. ing to have descended to buffoonery and cant. In either case, whether liv. ing or dead, circumstances and condi. | tions cannot change the truth of a thing. But were Mr. Hanna living the utterances of Mr. Garrison woulé comport more with becoming propriety than what he has now to say, the sena- tor being dead. The senator was not so vindictive, he was not so unrelent- ing, but he was determined and untir- ing in the pursuit of an object, and though committed to terms of expedi- ency, he relinquished nothing in energy to gain the end of his ambi. tion. Had he lived to the full meas. ure of ripened years he might have done a noble part and like Seward, Morton and others, have consecrated his great service to the best interest of his countrymen. eae Tie man of character may fall inte error by being too exacting —Pailadelphia Bul- Buffalo §2 00 And Return D e ‘ v $3 08 Niagara Falls a o And Return VIA C. & B.

A little dreaming by the way, A little toiling day by day; A little pain, a little strife, A little joy—-and that is life. A little short-lived summer's morn, When joy seems all so newly born, When one day's sky is blue above, And one bird sings—and that is love.

Cleveland has several conductors and motormen. Felix Weir, a talented young Chi- cago Afro-American, will leave in a few weeks for Germany to study the violin, ete., at the Royal Conservatory of Music, Leipsic. An Afro-American, Quartermaster Sergeant Benj. A. Anderson, Tenth cavalry, won the recent shooting con- test of the cavalry branch of the army held at Fort Riley, Kan. Several oth- ers of our soldiers won prizes and are among the 12 highest composing the team to participate in the national contest or competition. We congratulate The Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette upon its 22d anniversary and wish it many more to come.

Southern Wickes A an Unpleasant Reminder. On thé committee to notify candi- dates of their nomination by the great parties there is usually one repre- sentative from each state in the Union. We note with a degree of interest that there was no Afro- American on the committee that noti- fied President Roosevelt that he had been selected by the Chicago conven- tion to be the standard bearer of the republican party in this year of grace for the highest office in the gift of his fellow citizens. This is the first time since the war of the rebellion, we be- Neve, when such a thing has hap- pened. It marks with the emphasis of a death's head the small estate to which the race has fallen as a posi- tive factor in the councils of the re- publican party. Unless wiser coun- sels prevail in the future than in the past, there are many days of political obseuration and mortification before the Afro-American citizen. He must fight as others fight for what is his in politics, or he shall have taken from him even that which he has. How can that fact be got through his head? We have done our best to do it, but we have had but small success. —New York Age. Should Meet In Ohio. When the question of a meeting place for the Afro-American Council was up we said Cincinnati, because of its accessibility as one of Middle West's great highways and leading to everywhere else a delegate might wish to go. Besides, the council has never met in Ohio and the body would have a royal welcome and be able to do business effectively under normal conditions.

The hall was decorated with lanterns, and the participants were dressed in appropriate costumes. The success of the entertainment was due to the excellent management of Albert I. Williams. Hon.

Brown and relatives desire to extend their thanks to all friends and neighbors for every act of kindness and expression of sympathy manifested during their recent bereavement, and for the many evidences of fellow-feeling displayed through floral offerings.

The Twelfth Ward "Hustilers" announced a picnic for Monday night at Manhattan Beach. Mr. Seames, a member of the Twelfth ward republican club, better known as the "Grafters," says that the alleged "Hustilers" are Messrs. Henry "Aristides" Taylor and H. C. Jackson and that the rest of the "Grafters" had nothing whatever to do with the picnic. Rev. Edw. S. Doan, rector of St. Andrews' Mission, is spending a week with the Rev. E. V.

The Cuyahoga County League of Republican Clubs met in the Tippecanoe club rooms, Masonic building, one evening last week and decided to have a picnic this month. W. J. Crawford has offered a prize of $100 to the republican club which shall turn out the highest percentage of its members for the picnic, and, it is said, "staked" Henry Eubanks to offer $50 to any of the white men's republican organizations which shall turn out a higher ratio than the colored men's organizations. "Wouldn't this jar you?" Joseph Tivis was bound over to common pleas court on the charge of cutting to wound, by Acting Judge Selzer, Tuesday. Tom Harris claimed Tivis slashed him in the back with a knife on Central avenue, near Greenwood street. Patrolman Mackey testified he caught Tivis with his knife open. Tivis told the judge he had taken out the knife to cut his shoes off, so he could run faster. He claimed there had been a fight, and that Harris was chasing him. "That story's a little too heavy to digest," said Selzer. Mr. Roy Bundy said recently in conversation with one of our undertakers that George Myers said in reply to comment anent the employment of white undertakers for funeral service for a member of the race: "That's right; when you want anything done right, give it to a white man." This couldn't have pleased some of those who heard the remark for the very good reason that like Mr. Bundy, who is a dentist, they have a right to expect particularly the patronage of our people. Possibly the fact that Myers' patrons of the Holldenden house barber shop are white had something to do with his remark. What do you think of it? There were three services at Antioch church Sunday, owing to the fact that it was rally day. All were well attended. Rev. Young, of Kalamazoo, Mich., preached interestingly at 3 p.m. The trustees and building committee met Monday evening and transacted much important business. The barn and a portion of the old church building have been torn down. The remainder of the latter will be moved further back next week and the excavation for the new building begun. The contract for the new church was let by the architect this week and it is hoped to have it finished by Christmas. In the matter of subscriptions, this will be a banner month, owing to the fact that the friends of the church are subscribing quite liberally. Just because Gracie Wilson, aged 18, is an enthusiastic advocate of callisthenics, her mother and father were in police court yesterday, each with a charge on the prosecutor's docket.

Then, she said, the revolver with which she was wont to hit targets was seized by Mrs. Wilson and her father was shot in the side. She said that her father in the past had used the Indian clubs with marked effect, but that the gun had never been brought into the controversy before. Wilson swore out the warrant against his wife, but the judge, esteeming him in some fault himself, discharged the defendant. Wilson was discharged on the score of intoxication. Two young women (practically girls), sisters, who live on Calvert street, "fought it out" one evening last week on Central avenue with two other young women about the same age, sisters, who live on Central avenue. The cause of the fray was a man very nearly twice the age of any one of them by the name of Ball, who gave as fine an exhibition down the avenue, of "Lou Dillon" speed, as any one ever witnessed. He didn't wait to see the outcome of the fight, either. The next time this sort of thing occurs, the names of all concerned in the affair will be published. The girls are all from good families and have had home training which ought to have made such an occurrence an impossibility. There is entirely too much of this on Central avenue and its cross streets in the sections where our people are thickly populated. It is high time to call a halt and The Gazette proposes to do its part to accomplish a cessation of such hostilities, especially on the part of our young people. The porters of the Pullman cars running out of Cleveland have been receiving copies of a booklet, the cover page of which bears this caption: "Freemen, Yet Slaves Under Abe Lincoln's Son, or Service and Wages of a Pullman Porter." The reading matter initiates a Pullman porter's union and demands, among other things, higher wages, shorter hours, and rules not of the stereotyped order of the present ones. The booklet is backed by an organization of porters, and it is addressed by a strange coincidence to Robert T. Lincoln, son of the famous president, who is president of the Pullman Co. The author of the booklet is C. F. Anderson, of Chicago, who is employed by the porters as the head and front of their battle. The porters' wages are less than the cost of living. Their pay ranges from $25 to $45 a month, and tips have fallen off to almost nothing. These amounts are barely sufficient to pay their board while they are out on their runs. They ask for increases and that their work on the limited runs be lessened, and ought to get what they ask for. Where is Her Sister. Mrs. J. E. Lee, of 816 South Court street, Canton, O., would like to know the whereabouts of her sister, Miss Lizzie Spillward, who lived in Circleville, O., about 1880 and left there to go to Washington Court House, Ohio.

Corton, farmer and lumberman. and lumberman, of Deppe, N. C., says: "I suffered for years with my back. It was so bad that I could not walk any distance nor even ride in easy buggy. I do not believe I could have raised ten pounds of 1 weight from the ground, the pain was so severe. This was my condition when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They quickly relieved me and now I am never troubled as I was. My back is strong and I can walk or ride a long distance and feel just as strong as I did twenty-five years ago.

Illustrative Instance of the Ever-Ready Wit of the Late "Czar" Reed. Thomas B. Reed's wit and wisdom would fill a large volume, and a larger volume could be made of things he did not say, but which have been credited to him. In one volume or the other, says Youth's Companion, belongs a story which comes from California, and which has probably not been printed before. When Mr. Reed was in California he visited the Lick observatory on Mount Hamilton. It was a wonderful November day, full of gold and the bloom of flowers. Mr. Reed looked down at the gorgeous landscape 4,000 feet below, and turned to one of his hosts, he said: "Colonel, this looks too much like a special display got up in honor of the occasion. Tell me what a typical winter day in California is really like." The Californian thought at once of a day in February, so warm that after a morning bath he had lain in a hammock outdoors. smelled the roses on the trellis, and listened to the trill of the meadow-lark among the almond blooms. He began to describe it eloquently: "Thirteen years ago, on February 22, I took a bath—" He paused to arrange his account of the roses and the meadow-lark. Mr. Reed broke the pause. "Well, colonel," he said, in admiration, "you do know something about cleanliness out here, don't you?" New Tourist Sleeping Car Service to California.

TRAINSCOLLIDE A RAILWAY HORROR AT RICH MOND, QUEBEC. Montreal, Sept. 1.—Nine people were killed and 23 others injured in a head-on collision on the Grand Trunk railway near Richmond, Que., yesterday. The trains involved were a special excursion from Montreal bound for Sherbrooke and passenger train No. 5, running between Island Pond, Vt., and Montreal. The collision, it is claimed, was due to neglect of orders on the part of the train crew of the excursion train, which left Richmond without awaiting the arrival of the passenger train. The excursion train was running as the first section of the regular Grand Trunk Portland express, which usually crosses the Island Pond train at Richmond and was running on its time. This makes it all the more inexplicable why Conductor Atkinson, in charge of the excursion train, did not wait to make the usual crossing. Atkinson disappeared shortly after the wreck occurred. The excursion train, made up of ten coaches and a baggage car, carried about 1,000 persons bound for the exhibition at Sherbrooke. The Island Pond train was composed of five coaches and a baggage car and had only a small number of passengers. The excursion train had barely cleared the Richmond yard when on rounding a curve it met the Island Pond train running at a high rate of speed. Both engineers reversed and with their firemen jumped, escaping with minor injuries. The shock of the collision was plainly heard in Richmond more than a mile away. Both engines were locked together. The naggage car of the excursion train was picked up and dropped on top of the car following it, a smoker, and it was in these two cars that the greater number of fatalities occurred. Among the killed is J. B. Blanchet, who was elected to represent St. Hyacinth in the Canadian house of commons last spring. FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT The Retail Druggists' Association Is Fined $2,000 and Its Secretary $500. Chicago, Sept. 1.—Twenty-five hundred retail druggists in the United States were yesterday declared guilty of contempt of court by Judge Dunne, of the circuit court, and the National Association of Retail Druggists, of which they are members, was fined $2,000, while Thomas V. Wooten, secretary of the organization, was fined $500. The cases against five wholesale druggists of Chicago, also charged with contempt, were continued until the fall term of court, when it will be necessary for them to take additional proof into court to purge them of the contempt charges. The injunction under which the Druggists' association was fined was secured by Isaac Platt, a retail druggist of Chicago, in November, 1902, and restrained them from interfering in any manner with the securing of supplies by Platt, who had incurred the association's displeasure because he would not join it. "Platt has been deprived of the right in this community to sell goods," Judge Dunne said in rendering his decision. "Nothing can be more clear. It is a combination that has prevented him from securing supplies and the court enjoined the defendants in this case from carrying out their plan to prevent Platt from obtaining goods." Platt charges that he has been blacklisted and boycotted by the association and that through its influence all the wholesale houses in Chicago have refused to sell him supplies. The association made its defence upon the plea that Platt was attempting to sell the goods at wholesale, thus cutting the prices. Platt has fought the association for two years in the courts. A Successful Holdup. Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 1.—Upon the arrival of the Oregon express on the Oregon Short Line at Kemmerer, Wyo., at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning, four men stepped out from the shadow of a building near the depot and as soon as the door of the express car was opened by the messenger, two of them forced the messenger to throw up his hands, while the two others took charge of the station agent. A package containing $900 which had been sent to pay off the employes of the Kemmerer Coal Co. was taken. A package containing $13,000 was not disturbed. Report of Slocum Refere Committee. New York, Sept. 1.—The report of the committee for relief of survivors of the General Slocum disaster shows that 958 bodies have been recovered and that $109,543 was collected and expended. Of 590 families who lost one or more members by the disaster 437 received aid and provision was made for the permanent care of many of these. Twenty thousand dollars has been put aside for this purpose. One hundred and twenty men lost their entire families in the disaster and in 12 families 27 children were left orphans. Masked Man Shot at a Woman. Danbury, Conn., Sept. 1.—Miss F. F. Spencer, whose father was robbed of $5,000 by highwaymen two weeks ago, was the victim of a murderous assault near her home yesterday. The family received letters warning them that they would be killed if further efforts were made to capture the assailants. Yesterday a masked man fired three shots at Miss Spencer as she was driving. One of the shots set her dress on fire. She returned the shots and her assailant fled. Bloodhounds have been solicited to aid in the search for the assailants. Appointed a New State Treasurer. Madison, Wis., Sept. 1.—Gov. La Follette yesterday appointed Thomas Purtell temporary state treasurer to act until a permanent appointment can be made. For several years Purtell has been deputy state treasurer. The appointment is for the purpose of reopening the treasury as soon as the checking of accounts is finished. Purtell will give bond in $100,000, but the permanent appointee will be required to give a bond of $600,000, which was the amount of bond demanded of the deposed state treasurer, John J. Kempt. FAMOUS OLYMPIC GAMES. Those from America at St. Louis. St. Louis, Aug. 30.—One world's record was broken, two Olympic records were lowered and one Olympic record was equalled as a result of the first day's events in the Louisiana Purchase exposition revival of the Olympic games. Athletes from many nations met the pick of American sprinters, jumpers, distance and weight men in the first six events of the card that will last all week. The first Olympic record to go was broken by John Flanagan, of the Greater New York Irish Athletic association, the holder. His first essay with the 16-pound hammer resulted in a throw of 168 feet one inch, exceeding the record made by him in Paris by nine inches. The standing broad jump brought out a field that has never been equalled in the history of American athletics. The first jump, that of C. M. King, of McKinney, Tex., exceeded the Olympic record by three-fifths of an inch. Ray Ewry, of the New York Athletic club, holder of the Olympic and world's records, followed and on his first jump beat the Olympic record and came within two inches of equalling the world's record, with a jump of 11 feet two inches. Ewry demonstrated that his championship form had not deserted him and he established a new world's record of 11 feet $4 \%$ inches. While the record established at Paris by G. W. Orton, of the University of Pennsylvania for the $2,500-$metre steeplechase was not seriously endangered, that event proved one of the most interesting of the day's sport. John Daly, of Ireland, got off in the lead and ran a magnificent race, but was headed by James D. Lightbody, of the Chicago Athletic association, on the last lap and beaten to the tape by a scant margin. St. Louis, Aug. 31.—The Olympic Marathon race, the third foot race contest of the kind ever held and the first ever held on American soil, participated in by 31 men classed among the fleetest runners of the world, was won yesterday by Thomas J. Hicks, of Cambridge, Mass., who is the first American to win this event celebrated in the revival of Olympic games. St. Louis, Sept. 1.—Again have the athletes competing in the track and field events of the Louisiana Purchase exposition revival of the Olympic games demonstrated that they are the peers of any previous aggregation of international character. H. L. Hillman, of the New York Athletic club, ran the 400-meter hurdle in 32-5 seconds under the Olympic and world's record. The 200-meter run brought out a field of record breakers. Archie Hahn, of the Milwaukee A. C., won the first heat in the record time of 221.5 seconds. He fought the distance with W. J. Cartmell, of Louisville, Ky., and only won by inches. The second heat was a trifle slower, but Hogenson was not pushed. The final (the distance by American measurement of the 200 meters being 2:18.73 yards) resulted in the lowering of the Olympic record by three-fifths of a second. Hahn won the event. Pericles Kakousis, of Athens, Greece, had everything his own way in lifting the bar hell. Kakousis then went after the Olympic record, which is also regarded as the world's record. He first lifted 200 pounds and then had the weight adjusted to 246 pounds, four ounces more than the record made by the Danish athlete, V. Jensen, at the Athens Olympiad in 1896. His first attempt was successful. Ralph W. Rose, of the Chicago Athletic association, played ducks and drakes with the records in the 16-pound shot put. His first essay buried the Olympic record and came within two inches of the world's record. He tried twice more before he succeeded in smashing the latter with a put of 48 feet 7 inches. International tug of war, teams of five men, weight unlimited. Milwaukee A. C. defeated the Boer team. St. Louis team No. 2 defeated the Pan-Hellenic Athletic club, of Athens, Greece. Milwaukee defeated St. Louis team No. 1. The New York A. C. team defeated St. Louis team No. 2. The Way They Do It. Jackson, Miss.—The state election commission, which is composed of the governor, secretary of state and attorney general, all democrats of course, will at its next meeting use a different method of choosing county electors. Heretofore it has been customary to place an Afro-American on the commission in some of the delta counties where there are no white republicans, as the law requires that the republican party be represented, but the state commission has decided this year to have none on any. They will continue the custom of having one republican and two democrats, wherever it is possible but the Afro-American will not be selected for the place. There will have to be some vacancies. Some time ago the commission decided to do away with having Afro-Americans on petit juries. And some people have the "gaul" to say the southerner is "the Negroes" best friend; "understands him best," and such rot. "Cut His Throat From Ear to Ear." "If the man who just called me a llar will meet me outside the park when I finish my speech I'll cut his throat from ear to ear," is hardly the language one would expect from a member of congress and a law-giver. They are given in all the papers, however, as the words of Congressman Champ Clark, of Missouri, before the Chautauqua assembly of New Albany, Ind. And this is the same man who was selected by the democratic national convention as its most worthy representative to notify Judge Parker officially of his nomination by that party for the presidency. Further comment is not necessary.—St. Paul (Minn.) Appeal. Burlesqued Roosevelt and Were Beaten. Clarksville, Tenn.—While a circus was giving an exhibition here recently, one of the clowns burlesqued President Roosevelt. This gave offense to Afro-Americans in the audience and two of them took the matter up. A fight ensued between two of the clowns and two Afro-Americans, during which the former were given a good beating and one Afro-American was injured. The four men were arrested. The black sheep of the family always gets four times as much credit for doing well as he would have received if he had been decent from the start.—Chicago Record-Herald. BOUNDARY CHANGES. Contention Between the Two Southern States Brings Out Some Sensational Facts Regarding Topography of the Country. The testimony taken for the United States supreme court in the case of the Louisiana-Mississippi boundary has proved as sensational as it was expected to be in the matter of the marvelous changes that have taken place in the topography of the country in recent years. The question at issue is the coast line of Louisiana in 1812, because this fixes the water boundary of the state and determines whether the oyster reefs off the coast, valued at $10,000,-000, belong to Louisianaan or Mississippi. The old maps declare in favor of Louisiana. The contention of Mississippi is that these maps are incorrect, and that the country in dispute has always been the mixture of marsh, mud and water it is to-day. As the country was uninhabited and deemed valueless, the cartographers did not think it worth while to make a survey of the marsh and give petty details in which no one was interested. Therefore they made the entire section in dispute dry land in their maps. Much testimony was heard from fisherman, yachtsmen, and others who had visited the country at different times in 25 years. They told of marvelous changes, some in a single night, of islands that had appeared and disappeared, and land that was a point one day and a bayou the following day. One witness, a leading merchant, of New Orleans, who cruised through this section in 1897, visited it again this year. Although there had been no storm during this period, he had found the face of the country so changed as to be scarcely recognizable. Round island, which he visited on his first trip, had disappeared, although still shown on all maps. There is a lighthouse still shown, but this has not been in existence for years, the island washing away piece by piece. PUT OUT A FIRE WITH EGGS. Lamp Starts Blaze, But the Improvised Extinguishers Save the Day. The name of John Snedecor, of Bay Shore, L. I., will go down to posterity as the discoverer of an egg fire extinguisher. He left his three little children in the dining-room while he went to the grocery before supper. There was a big lamp on the table. When Snedecor got home the lamp lay on the floor in the midst of a pool of blazing oil. Huddled against the wall at the back of the room, unable to get past the blaze, were the three children. In a paper bag Snedecor was carrying a dozen and a half of eggs he had just bought. Three at a time he hurled them on the floor along the edge of the flame, meantime yelling for other members of the family to souse a blanket in a pail of water and bring it to him quickly. The albumen, phosphates, nitrates and water in the bursting eggs seemed to retard the flames. They were almost egged out when the wet blanket arrived, and Snedecor soon quenched the last of the blaze. WILHELMINA IN AN AUTO. Holland's Queen Pleased with First Drive in a "Buzz Wagon" and Intends to Have One. Queen Wilhelmina, of Holland, has just made her first trip in an automobile and has expressed herself as delighted with the experience. Her majesty was accompanied on the trip by the prince consort. She wore a long white cloak, while the prince was gorgeous in a showy military uniform. The tour was personally conducted by M. Verwey, the owner of the vehicle in which the queen and her consort rode. He was at the wheel all of the time. Three other machines followed. They were driven along at the top speed of 40 miles an hour where the roads would permit it, and the queen declared that it was the most exhilarating sport she had ever known. Her majesty says she means to have a touring machine. ALIENS FILL OUR PRISONS. Report of Commissioner of Immigration Shows a Startling Condition of Affairs. A startling condition of affairs is shown by a recent report of Commissioner General of Immigration Sargent. It shows the number of aliens in confinement in penal and charitable institutions in the United States during the first four months of the present year, and deal only with those aliens who have been in this country less than five years. There are confined in the institutions covered by the report 28,939 males and 15,643 females, all of whom have not become citizens of the United States. Of this number 3,995 are imprisoned for grave offenses, 5,686 for minor crimes, while 20,279 are insane and 14,604 are paupers. New York leads in the percentages, with Boston second and Philadelphia third. The investigation is being continued. We Are All in the Apprentice Class. When a simple change of diet brings back health and happiness the story is briefly told. A lady of Springfield, Ill., says: "After being afflicted for years with nervousness and heart trouble, I received a shock four years ago that left me in such a condition that my life was despaired of. I could get no relief from doctors nor from the numberless heart and nerve medicines I tried because I didn't know that the coffee was daily putting me back more than the Drs. could put me ahead. "Finally at the request of a friend I left off coffee and began the use of Postum and against my convictions I gradually improved in health until for the past 6 or 8 months I have been entirely free from nervousness and those terrible sinking, weakening spells of heart trouble. "My troubles all came from the use of coffee which I drunk from childhood and yet they disappeared when I quit coffee and took up the use of Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Many people marvel at the effects of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum but there is nothing marvelous about it—only common sense. Coffee is a destroyer—Postum is a rebuilder. That's the reason. Look in each pkg.for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Fibroid Tumors Cured. a distressing case of Fibroid Tumor, which baffled the skill of Boston doctors. Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in the following letter tells how she was cured, after everything else failed, by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. Hayes' First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Pinkham for Help: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I have been under Boston doctors' treatment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My abdomen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My appetite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time. "The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book accurately describe my case, so I write to you for advice."—(Signed) Mrs. E. F. HAYES, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham's advice—although she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take her medicine—which she knew would help her—her letter contained a mass of additional instructions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring about the happy result. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Sometime ago I wrote to you describing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman. "The use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound entirely expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk miles now. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth five dollars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial."—(Signed) Mrs. E. F. HAYES, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony—or take the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes. Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and displacements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation. Surely the volume and character of the testimonial letters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt. Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness. Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too great for her to take in return for her health and happiness. Truly is it said that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that is curing so many women, and no other medicine; don't forget this when some druggist wants to sell you something else. $5000 FORFEIT if we cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures of above testimonials, which will prove their absolute genuineness.
