Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. ALL TITLED PRINTING TRADE COUNCIL CLEVELAND Cleveland, Saturday, Sept. 10, 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. Gov. Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, is vleing with Senator Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, and Gov. Vardaman, of Mississippi, in abuse of our people. That is a miserable trio of individuals, to say the least. LYNCHING IN ATTALA COUNTY. MISS. Andy Nash, an Afro-American, while on his way from Thomastown, Miss., 15 miles south of Kasonoko, was assailed by three white brutes. These men knew Andy Nash and attempted to drag him from his horse. The man protested against the interference. One of the three held the bridle while another cut a stick to punish him for what they considered on his part to be impudence. But the Afro-American, acting in self-defence, manifested the same kind of "impudence" that any man of manly instinct would show. So when one of these fools (drunk, we suppose,) began to administer the rod, the enraged Afro-American drew his pistol and shot him. The burly white brutes then made a hasty retreat, while the Afro-American rode on to his home. He was at once arrested and held for trial. Only for a brief time did he remain a prisoner before he was taken from jail and shot to death. Ordinarily now an Afro-American is arrested and shot to death when acting in defence of himself. These bad men were the aggressors and had placed themselves in the light of robbers and assassins. Acting upon the stupid presumption that they had a right to maltreat, abuse and assault a man upon the highway because he was not white, they engaged in a two-handed game this time which cost one of them his life. They took it for granted that the Afro-American should submit to a beating, but the Afro-American regarded the matter even as they did and a battle ensued. Had they passed on and attended to their own business as all peaceable citizens are expected to do, the slain and murdered men might now be in the enjoyment of the blessings of life. It were far better that the Afro-American died in defense of a personal right than that he should suffer the shameful ignominy of cowardice and unjust punishment, without the slightest provocation. It is better to suffer death than surrender manhood, and the sooner this lesson is learned the better it will be for the race. Andrew Nash, though butchered up and killed like a dog, died the death of a martyr. His example should serve as an inspiration to every brave man who admires true manhood, and it should remain as a warning to the miscreant wretch who would without cause assail and beat up human flesh under the cover of black humanity. More honor to all (Afro-Americans) who will face death in standing up for right and justice and let this death serve as an admonition to every tyrant who would abuse personal liberty or impose upon a brother man, because of the spirit of caste and a vicious public sentiment. MORE SOUTHERN NONSENSE. It is to be deplored that southern newspapers idly fritter away so much time upon matters which in no way concern the intelligent masses. Our white neighbor is by no means encroaching upon the Afro-American because he is easy, affable and natural in his manners. Why should the Afro-American be censured for the exercise of graces which serve only to commend him to his fellows? If he demeans himself repulsively he is at once reproached as being impudent and imposing. Then let him adapt himself to the attitude of one that would be kind, obliging and respectful. It is very easy to misinterpret the spirit and motive of the Afro-American in his endeavor to render himself acceptable to his white neighbors. Certainly there is a lamentable imperfectness in human nature, but the fault most previous remains with our white neighbor who fails to comprehend the real import and character of that conduct which may seem to indicate undue familiarity on the part of the Afro-American. How unjust that our white friends at their pleasure may appear to be ever so familiar, and are thus exercising what may be termed a discretionary right. But let the Afro-American attempt to adapt himself to the force of circumstances, let him use the wisdom which God has given him, and conform himself to the eternal fitness of things, in nine cases out of ten, he becomes an object of impeachment. Strictly speak- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1904. ing the Afro-American was only acting in obedience to heart instinct or doing only as reason and common sense might dictate. Must he be blamed for a seeming encroachment upon the racial isolation of his white neighbor? Is not this rather an outrage upon human justice to curse a man for obeying a natural propensity of the soul? Most assuredly the Negro has long since learned how to adapt himself to conditions. He follows the inclination of his heart and seeks to accommodate himself to those demands most essential to the preservation of life, liberty and happiness. But what of our white southern brother who every day encroaches upon the racial isolation of his black neighbor, what of that unwarranted familiarity which so often arrogates the right to usurp authority forbidden? We deny that there is any intended attempt on the part of the Afro-American to familiarity, we deny the existence of any design to induce neutral relations. The Afro-American is impelled by a common feeling of manhood, actuating the heart of American life, and it is very far from his nature to seek to bring a strong and powerful element upon terms of familiarity and equality contrary to the mind of a class altogether at variance with their own methods and ways of thinking. American prejudice forbids such nonsense. The Afro-American may be obsequious, he may be conciliatory and ever willing to render concessions to a haughty and imperious race, but it is the grossest absurdity to attribute to him a deportment which he does not deserve. But what brings about such an opinion among southern white people? Evidently because it is due to the perverted nature of the southern white man. Conceived superiority of race and blood and the abnormal disposition to dominate the weaker race is the best possible reason to be given for this tyranny against the Afro-American. The southern mind is in flagrant error and the entire system of southern education is defective and non-moral, so long as there remains the slightest tendency to unjust arrogance, to alienation of the brotherhood, or the disposition to abrogate God's divine laws. THE ST. LOUIS WORLD'S FAIR BEGGING. Now comes Henry Y. Arnett, financial agent of Wilberforce college, in a circular letter to race papers sent out by the press bureau of the money-needing St. Louis Fair, claiming that there is little or no discrimination on the grounds; that our National Women's Federation heralded an untruth when they announced that they left the grounds in disgust as the result of miserable insults—race or color discrimination, and "that most persons (St. Louis residents) who complain about the great injustice at the Fair are those who do not want to entertain friends from afar;" and are those abroad (out of St. Louis) "who do not want to spend the money to go and to attend, and who seem to think they must have some good excuse to remain away." He also says: "The kind editors of the Colored American, of Washington, D.C., and the Christain Recorder, of Philadelphia, enclosed to me their season passes and requested that I visit the St. Louis World's Fair and give to the many readers of their papers the 'truth' as I saw it. August 6 found me on the fair grounds, etc." Mark Bennett, (white), manager general press bureau of the fair, sent out this letter signed by Henry Y. Arnett, and not the "kind editors of the Colored American and Christian Recorder", who gave him their "season passes." How strange? Too thin; Henry!—your story, your effort, your statements of comparatively no discrimination, and enent the Women's Federation report. The fair management is hundreds of thousands of dollars "in the hole" and sinking deeper and deeper every day. Let it sink, help it to sink to sheol if that be possible, as a result of our staying away from the fair. This "eleventh hour" appeal to Afro-Americans through a member of the race who may and may not have gotten something for Wilberforce university, from the fair management for so doing, should be ignored with contempt. Our insults on that fair ground this summer have been too many and too great, to forget and forgive so soon even if financial desperation has forced the fair management to put a stop to much of the shameful discrimination in order to beg dollars from Afro-Americans through Arnett, the Colored American, the Christian Recorder and other mediums. Stay away from the insulting (to Afro-Americans only) fair! Be men and women with self and race respect once,—just this once. On August 28, Mr. James Y. Gilliam, a former Cleveland, wrote the Gazette's editor, as follows: "I spent last Monday, the 22nd, at the St. Louis Fair. The treatment of members of our race is simply 'rotten' in the extreme." Henry Y. Arnett was at the fair during the early part of August and Mr. James Y. Gilliam, during the last days of the same month. Both are intelligent Afro-Americans and for years personal friends of the editor of this paper. We have paid no attention to Mr. Arnett's references in his letter to "the Louisianna lady" of color and "the distinguished Boston lawyer who was counsel for the Boston crowd who fight the good and great Booker T. Washington," because they are not pertinent but are positively sickening. Really we question Arnett's authorship of the letter. It reads more like an effusion of some white member of the World's Fair press bureau, is full of inconsistencies, contradictory and false statements as well as other incongruities. The fair management is in dire financial straits, depend upon it, or it would not go down upon its knees to the Afro-American as it does in the "Arnett" letter. Stay away from the thing, unless you too wish to be grossly insulted ad libitum. BELL ELECTED. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE'S PLURALITY IS OVER 30,000. Vermont Election Returns Show Republican Gains—Democrats Tried Tried Hard to Bring Plurality Down. White River Junction, Vt., Sept. 7.—Returns received at midnight indicate that the republicans in Tuesday's state election elected the head of their ticket by a plurality equal, if not greater, than that returned for William W. Stickney when he was elected governor in 1900. Stickney, however, received the support of many gold democrats and the republicans generally did not look for more than 28,000 plurality in yesterday's election. Stickney was elected four years ago by 31,282 plurality over Senter. Returns from 233 out of 246 cities and towns give Bell, republican, for governor, 46,242; Porter, democrat, 13,663. The same places four years ago gave Stickney, republican, 45,823; Senter, democrat, 15,538. David J. Foster, of Burlington, was elected to congress from the First district and Kittredge Haskins, of Brattleboro, from the Second district. The vote for congressmen followed closely that for governor. With the exception of the three northern counties where local issues affected the normal vote, the complexion of the legislature was practically unchanged. This indicates that Senator Redfield Proctor will be re-elected. The campaign was hard fought by both of the leading parties, the democrats bending their efforts to a reduction of the republican majority of 31,000 given to William W. Stickney for governor in 1900. The law requiring majority elections for all candidates necessitated in several of the cities and larger towns balloting two or three times. At Burlington the third ballot for representative began at 10 o'clock and the polls were not closed until midnight. The vote for governor had not then been tabulated. Two ballots were taken at Barre before the democratic candidate for the legislature was declared re-elected. At Rutland split ballots were also the cause for a second ballot.

It is currently reported that Crealia Hamlet, of Bell avenue, returned from a visit to Oberlin Sunday, and was married on Monday to a white man, an ex-Scovill avenue street car conductor, at present employed as steward at Cook's restaurant. It is said that her parents bitterly opposed the match and refuse to permit him to enter the home although Crealia is there until she and her husband go to housekeeping. Several members of the "Little Black Tammany," who center in the American Trust building, were "swating great drops of blood" last week, as a result of Dr. Roy Bundy's expose in last Saturday's Gazette of Geo. Myers' statement anent the employment of white undertakers for Afro-American funerals. Dr. Bundy said Myers said: "That's right; when you want anything done right, give it to a white man." Too much praise cannot be showered upon our popular young dentist for the race loyalty he shows when he gives to our people of this community such valuable information. They have a right to know the persons among them who hold such inimical views and have the "brass" to express them in the presence of other members of the race, and especially in the hearing of some of our professional and business men. Last week Thursday afternoon while awaiting an opportunity to purchase a ticket for the matinee at Keith's Prospect theater, Undertaker King saw standing in the line just ahead of him a brown-skin Afro-American, who, like himself, purchased a seat on the main floor of the theatre. Soon after they were seated Mr. King says his attention was attracted to several ushers standing back of him, by the remark of one of them, who said: "How did the nigger get there?" A few seconds later a smooth-faced, heavy set man, evidently the manager, at any rate one in authority, stepped up to the Afro-American and asked to see his seat check, which was handed to him and which he took out, presumably to the office, returning very soon thereafter, telling the man that he was in the wrong seat and ushering him to a seat in the balcony. Mr. King feels positive that the act was a clear case of discrimination on account of race or color, and we think so, too. The remark of the usher being "leading" evidence of the fact. Mr. King's light complexion was in all probability what saved him from similar insult and humiliation. He also says that several of the white people that sat in the immediate vicinity snickered and laughed while the change of seats was being made. Our Ohio civil rights law contains a provision that reaches just such cases, the penalty for thus discriminating being from $50 to $500 and from 30 to 90 days in jail, or both. We sincerely trust that our people who are thus discriminated against will use the law. An excellent way to be prepared for such miserable experiences is for all to make two sets of duplicates of their theatre seat checks in the presence of a witness before going to the theatre. Leave one of the sets of duplicates at home and take the other with your ticket or tickets to the theatre. The editor of The Gazette has not failed to do this in the last two or three years, or ever since it was generally mooted about that such discrimination was being practiced at the Empire theatre, then under the management, in part at least, of L. M. Eirick, the same man who is manager of Keith's Prospect theatre. If our people who go to the theatre are careful to follow our advice they will be in a position to punish under our Ohio civil rights law, and severely, too, all such distressing and insulting mistreatment as the Afro-American was subjected to at Keith's Prospect theatre last week Thursday afternoon. Those Afro-Americans who will accept such treatment without resenting it in the proper way (in the courts) are not entitled to any sympathy, to say nothing of a citizen's treatment in public places when their conduct, appearance, etc., entitle them to it.

Southern Reporter. --- A FATAL BLAZE. FOURTEEN PERSONS PERISHED IN NEW YORK. Twenty People Were Injured, Among Whom Were Five Firemen —A Tenement Was New York, Sept. 5. Fourteen persons were killed and nearly a score injured in a fire in a five-story double tenement at an early hour Sunday morning. It was one of the worst fires in the loss of human lives that has occurred on the East Side in several years, although the property loss was slight. The dead include four women, one man and nine children, ranging in age from 3 months to 12 years. Many of the injured were taken to hospitals and it is thought that several of these will die. Among the injured were five firemen who were on a fourth floor balcony when it fell with them. The small number of men among the killed and injured was due to the fact that most of the men who lived in the building, following the Attorney street custom in hot weather, were on the roof, while but few of the women and children were there. Those on the roof were unable to escape by descending through the burning building and made their way to safety over neighboring roofs. Meanwhile the members of their families who had remained in their rooms found escape cut off and panic reigned throughout the structure. The fire started about 3 o'clock in the morning and there was considerable delay in sending in an alarm, although the district is one of the most thickly populated in the crowded East Side. When the firemen reached the scene some of the tenants were jumping from the windows and from the ends of the fire escapes that reached only to the second floor; others were crouching in the smoke in the small rooms and narrow halls. Several ambulances were called and the surgeons were kept busy caring for the injured. The work of the firemen was greatly hindered, but over 20 persons were rescued by them from the fourth and fifth floors. Many persons received injuries by jumping to the sidewalk and to the stone-paved court from the ends of the cut-off fire escapes. Most of the dead were found on the two upper floors. While the search of the building was going on four fire men were at work on a fourth-floor balcony, when it gave way. Another fireman on the balcony below was also carried down and was probably fatally injured. The other four were badly hurt, but will recover. Two of them fell upon a pile of bedding in the court yard and their injuries were caused chiefly by the ironwork of the balcony falling upon them. BROKE DOWN THE DOORS. An Allegheny Priest Holds Services In His Church In Spite of the Efforts of a Mob to Assault Him. Pittsburg, Sept. 5.—After hewing his way into the church with an ax. Rev. Father Bekavac, of St. Nicholas' Croation Roman Catholic church, Allegheny, held early mass Sunday while a large number of his former congregation awaited him outside and made frantic efforts to assault him at the conclusion of the ceremony. He was saved from violence only by the protection of 50 policemen. When Father Bekavac reached the church he found all the doors locked and nailed fast. Returning to his residence he secured an ax and applied it to one of the doors while the police aided him to force it down under the weight of their bodies. Excitement by this time had reached a high pitch in the mob of probably 500 men and women who had gathered to prevent services being held. About 50 of Father Bekavac's adherents attended the mass. At the conclusion of the ceremony the police awaited Father Bekavac to escort him to the parish house. At this stage the mob became bolder and, spurred on by one or two women leaders, ascended the stone steps to the church door and, as the priest appeared, shouted threats of vengeance, while women and men alike called upon their followers to attack him. The police surrounded the priest and with their maces fought back the crowd, finally landing their charge safely in the parish house. Eight of the mob leaders, three of whom are women, were taken to Central station in the patrol. Seven Killed. Nineteen Injured. Seven Killed, Nineteen Injured. St. Louis, Sept. 5.—Seven persons were killed and 19 were injured, two probably fatally and nine seriously, by the collision of a Wabash world's fair shuttle train with a suburban electric car at the Sarah street crossing Saturday. The shuttle train was returning to Union station from the world's fair grounds at the rate of about 20 miles an hour. The street car, which was on its way to the suburbs with a load of people returning home, stopped directly in front of the engine and was cut in two. The trucks of the car were knocked 100 feet away, while part of its roof was carried 200 feet further by the train. World's Fair Attendance Grows St. Louis, Sept. 5.—The division of admissions of the world's fair has issued the following statement of the daily attendance for the last six days and a monthly report giving the total attendance figures: Monday, August 29, 155,748; Tuesday, 108,816; Wednesday, 121,427; Thursday, 125,629; Friday, 116,814; Saturday, 130,893.

Rome, Sept. 5.—The Giornale D'Italia, in denying that reconciliation has taken place between Princess Alice De Bourbon, daughter of Don Carlos, pretender to the Spanish throne, and her husband, Prince Frederick of Schonburg-Waldenburg, asserts that the princess has arrived in Rome for the purpose of urging on the Vatican authorities the annulment of her marriage through the influence of the pope. Prince Frederick of Schonburg-Waldenburg was married at Venice, in 1897, to Princess Alice De Bourbon. ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY!! TAKEN FROM LIFE: ORIGINAL OZONIZED OX MARROW (Copyrighted.)

In one gown seen recently there were at least three distinctive styles combined, but as the dress was within the limits of good taste, and becoming besides, it mattered little what period it belonged to. charming about the wearing of red, provided it suits the individual, but I do not advise the woman who can only invest in one tailor-made to choose red because one soon tires of it. I would suggest that the woman who is about to invest in two tailor-made frocks should have one of the orthodox blue serge or dark green, and the other: of white cloth or serge. White cloth, white homespuns, and ivory serges continue to take the lead among the more dressy types of tailor-made garments, such as are worn on the really smart occasions. One of the favorite trimmings for such frocks is a soft ivory suede strapping. I have seen one of the prettiest ivory cloth gowns showing a waistcoat of ivory braid, silver thread and a touch of pale blue. It was quite tight-fitting and plain, the coat bodice fastening with two buttons over the waistcoat, and made with a beautifully-fitting basque; it was further strapped with soft ivory suede, this strapping appearing on the tight-fitting sleeve, which ended in a rather broad suede cuff and some old blue enamel buttons; a neat rolled collar of suede finished the neck.

Prof. Drehschmidt, of the German Association of Gas and Water Engineers, said recently to that body that to arrive at a proper judgment respecting the chemical composition of coal a thorough distillation is necessary, and for that purpose an experimental gas works solely for that object. The best method is to erect a bed of one or two retorts of normal size, quite independent of the works, but with all the other apparatus—purifiers, scrubbers, and the rest of the plant complete, so as to conform with an ordinary works, but in the same proportion as the experimental bed. In this way it is easier to superintend the work; and the alterations required by the coal under examination can be readily made—such as in the temperature of the bed, the size of the charge, and the duration of the distillation. These various conditions must be altered until the best results possible can be obtained from the coal under examination. That is, each type of coal should be subjected to that treatment which will return the highest yield of gas. At the municipal gas works in Berlin a number of tests have been made on these lines, and by such means of experimenting they have succeeded in increasing the product of a certain coal from 305 cubic meters per ton to 320 cubic meters. Prof. Drehschmidt contends that it is not possible to make quite sure of any determination from the chemical composition of coal as to what is the maximum yield possible of gas and by-products of any class. This, he says, is proved by a great many tests and, the collection of much statistical information, so that he recommends every works to have an experimental station in order to ascertain for itself the best working procedure to get the most profitable yield from the coal. They Work While You Sleep. A flock of chickens belonging to A. Charles, a Maumee valley, O., farmer, has developed the trait of sleeping daytimes and roving about at night. The chickens are kept near a gas well from which there is a constant blaze. They have learned that the light at night attracts bugs, which they can easily catch, and have completely changed their habits. BUILDING FOOD To Bring the Babies Around. When a little human machine (or a large one) goes wrong, nothing is so important as the selection of food which will always bring it around again. "My little baby boy fifteen months old had pneumonia, then came brain fever, and no sooner had he got over these than he began to cut teeth and, being so weak, he was frequently thrown into convulsions," says a Colorado mother. "I decided a change might help, so took him to Kansas City for a visit. When we got there he was so very weak when he would cry he would sink away and seemed like he would die. "When I reached my sister's home she said immediately that we must feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I had never used the food, we got some and for a few days gave him just the juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got stronger so quickly we were soon feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and in a wonderfully short time he fattened right up and became strong and well. "That showed me something worth knowing and, when later on my girl came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts and she is a strong, healthy baby and has been. You will see from the little photograph I send you what a strong, chinny youngster the boy is now, but he didn't look anything like that before we found this nourishing food. Grape-Nuts nourished him back to strength when he was so weak he couldn't keep any other food on his stomach." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A Medley of Modes for Fall FASHION Gossip of the Fall Fashions HE high tide of the fad for 1830 styles is already past in favor of the Louis and Directoire ideas, although it is thought that the 1830 lines will probably be retained through the coming season THE high tide of the fad for 1830 styles is already past in favor of the Louis and Directoire ideas, although it is thought that the 1830 lines will probably be retained through the coming season. The drooping shoulder effects and sweeping outlines are too attractive to be discarded altogether for modes which are not so graceful. In fact, it is most difficult to prophesy correctly as to what special period will be adopted for the coming styles. With the contradictory information received, from all sides it is impossible to arrive at any satisfactory conclusion. Now a triple skirt, or the daglion of 1835, is hemmed with fringe, while the white satin bands embroidered in black ARK Lincoln green is a novel feature among the braided autumn gowns, and bright red and dark red are having a short run of popularity. There is no doubt that on dull days there is something D M. AN ATTRACTIVE AUTUMN STREET GOWN. SHORT AND SENSIBLE. Think once before you act, twice silk and outlining the fronts of the pel- erine and the cuffs of the same embroidered satin headed by lace completing the sleeves lend a rare cachet of elegance to the entire gown. The new hats are as eccentric at the present time as they were in 1830 days when huge poke bonnets or cabriolelets were worn, with their extraordinary decorations of flowers, feathers and streamers. Surely no lady of the time of Louis Philippe ever appeared with a hat more absurd than one seen at a garden party not long ago. It was in mauve straw and fitted snugly to the head at the back and pitched forward in such a bewildering way that one was in constant fear of the weaker. One side was rolled very high and trimmed with a huge garland of some kind of mauve flowers. The hat was so strangely balanced on the young woman's head that it looked doubtful whether it would reach home in safety. The small high crowns are conspicuous among the new hats, which also bear flat crowns. Some very pretty creations were noticed in contrast to the eccentric models. They were made of white crepe de chine, simply trimmed, with a twist of velvet around the crown, or banded with a velvet ribbon fastened in front with a fancy buckle. that the smarter tailor-made will not be worn short, although, of course, there will be no trained effect. It is only the tweeds and more practical garments that clear the ground. A delightful blue serge showed a kilted skirt. This just cleared the ground and was worn with a short cutaway coat of serge and a folded waistcoat of black silk, with an inner vest of white muslin. The coat was finished with a neat blue velvet collar and cuffs, and was cut almost like a habit bodice, the sleeve being severely plain and having only the slightest suspicion of fulness at the elbow. It was to be worn with one of the new wide toques made entirely of plaid silk, somewhat resembling a large Alsatian bow, and tilted slightly to one side. It had no trimming beyond an enormous bandeau and rosette of dark blue velvet. This is the sort of toque that was worn 15 years ago with a veil reaching only just below the nose. It is a distinct novelty now, however, though I doubt if it finds favor. One of the simplest hats of the moment is a coarse straw of any shape trimmed with thick ruches of black peau de soie or glace. Very smart is the improved style of tooread, turned up abruptly at the side with a bandeau and bird, the crown only trimmed with a thick satin ruche. Some of the Panama and coarse straw Breton sailors, as well as the new felts of simple shape, are trimmed in the same way. These hats are all suitable for wear with the practical tailor-made. The smarter specimens of similar headgear are sometimes adorned with autumnal foliage. A very chic French hat to wear with a blue serge is in a mixture of plaited straw and felt, of Robespierre shape, the crown simply trimmed with a fold of dark blue velvet, and at the side a bright orange Paradis plume. A daring but effective mixture is that composed of orange and blue, and some of the blue serge Eton coats have double-breasted waistcoats of orange cloth, the other wise plain serge coat and skirt being braided in black in a narrow twisted scroll design. The family had added a bull terrier to its stock of pets. The first day after his arrival the new member ended the career of a pet cat. He was forgiven, however, and that night there was a discussion over a name for the dog. Six-year-old Pauline listened to several suggestions, and then said, gravely: "I'd call him Care, I think. You know grandma says 'Care killed a cat.'"—N. Y. Tribune. Doesn't Dodge.

Chicago Stock Yards Strikers Voted to Stay Out. Chicago, Sept. 8.—The following statement was given out Wednesday afternoon by the Butchers' union relative to the vote on the question of the stock yards strikers returning to work: "The vote of the unions was on a proposition to declare the strike off. Out of 28,000 strikers 2,403 voted to return to work, and 25,597 to remain on strike until a fair proposition embracing arbitration can be obtained." Having voted to continue the struggle, the strike leaders are in a quandary as to what the next move shall be. When the result of the vote of the men, defeating the proposition to return to work, was announced it was stated by the union officials that a second ballot would be ordered at once. Shortly after the announcement was made, however, the plan was abandoned and efforts were begun to secure another conference with the packers. In this the strikers were unsuccessful and then a second announcement was made that the order issued last week placing all meat on the unfair list would go into effect last night. While arrangements were being made to put this order into effect it was suddenly discovered by some of the leaders that the allied trades conference board would have to give their consent to the order before it could be enforced and that it would be impossible to put the manifesto into effect last night, as the allied trades conference board would not be able to arrange for a meeting of its members until to-day. It was then stated that the central organization would meet to-day to consider the question. Following the announcement that the strikers had voted to continue the strike a meeting attended by representatives of all the packers was held. What took place at the conference is not known, but after the meeting it was stated by one of the packers that no opportunity would be given the labor leaders to present a proposition embracing arbitration, as was being planned by the strikers. East St. Louis, Ill., Sept. 7.—According to unofficial reports of the votes taken Tuesday at a meeting of the striking butchers it was decided to return to work and abandon the strike. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 7.—The packing house strikers in South Omaha voted to return to work on the basis of settlement named by President Donnelly. Some Rapid Ship Building. Philadelphia, Sept. 8.—The new steamship Mohican, built by the Cramp Ship Building Co. for William P. Clyde & Co., was delivered to the latter company yesterday. The completion of the Mohican creates a new record in ship building on the Atlantic coast. The design of the vessel was finally decided on March 4. The first material was received at the shipyard on March 15, the keel was laid May 3 and the ship was launched August 6. Nineteen days later the machinery had been installed and the vessel was delivered one month after being launched, nine days in advance of contract time. Damage Wrought by Huge Waves. Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 8.—From many points along the southern coast come reports of damage by great billows which are rolling in from the sea, occasioned by some peculiar phenomenon, possibly volcanic disturbances far out in the ocean. While there is scarcely a cupful of wind, enormous waves, in some instances 40 feet high, roll ceaselessly against the shores. Word comes that the wharf at Hueneme is doomed to destruction. At Terminal Island the sea has wrought considerable havoc, and hundreds of men are at work piling up sacks of sand to form breakwaters. A Disastrous Fire. Bakersfield, Cal., Sept. 8.—Fire broke out in the engine house of the local fire department yesterday and destroyed two blocks in the central part of the city. A Chinaman named Ah Fong was suffocated. The loss is $250,000. William Savoy, a brick mason, entered the engine house in an intoxicated condition and lay down to sleep. It is supposed that he was smoking and that the fire started from his cigar. His charred remains were recovered after the fire. Edward Baldwin jumped from the second story of the Midland hotel. He will probably die. A Warning to Officeholders. Washington, Sept. 8.—Acting Secretary Oliver, of the war department, has issued a circular of warning against political assessments and partisan activity of officeholders. This circular embodies the provisions of the civil service act of January 16, 1883, making political assessments of federal officers and employees a misdemeanor punishable by fine not exceeding $5,000, or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years, or by fine and imprisonment both, in the discretion of the court. Shot His Wife. Children and Himself. South Dayton, N. Y., Sept. 8.—Mike Michszak, an employee of the canning factory here, shot his wife and two children and then himself while all were in bed yesterday. It is supposed that Michszak suddenly became insane. It is thought Michszak and the children will die. The wife will probably recover. A Big Order for Armor Plate. Pittsburg, Sept. 8.—Agents of the Japanese government yesterday closed a contract with the Carnegie Steel Co. for an order of 7,500 tons of the finest grade of nickel steel plates. The plates are for use on Japanese battleships. The order will keep the 84 and 184-inch mills of the Homestead plant busy for three months. An Order that Benefits 15,000 People.

Wilder, the humorist, enjoys telling of his first call upon a president of the United States. This occurred during the administration of President Harrison, and, according to Mr. Wilder, says Woman's Home Companion, the interview, quite different from what he had imagined it would be, took place about like this: "Taken in by Mr. Halford, the president's secretary. Were introduced: 'Mr. President, Mr. Wilder; Mr. Wilder, Mr. President' "How do you do, Mr. Wilder." "How do you do, Mr. President." "Then we looked at each other for perhaps 30 seconds, during which time I totally forgot the fine speech I had prepared to give the president. "Finally I gasped out: 'Er—good-day, Mr. President.' "Good day, Mr. Wilder,' was the polite ' 'Good day, Mr. Wilder,' was the polite response. "When once outside, I turned and said: 'Mr. Halford, will you please kick me?'

Mrs. Weisslitz, president of the German Womans' Club of Buffalo, N. Y., after doctoring for two years, was finally cured of her kidney trouble by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless prompt and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave careful study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's ills — Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound — made sure that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was certain to control that dreaded disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female system; and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared for women. Read What Mrs. Weisslitz Says. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—For two years my life was simply a burden, I suffered so with female troubles, and pains across my back and loins. The doctor told me that I had kidney troubles and prescribed for me. For three months I took his medicines, but grew steadily worse. My husband then advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and brought home a bottle. It is the greatest blessing ever brought to our home. Within three months I was a changed woman.

My back and head ached all the time, and I was so nervous I could not sleep; had hysteria and fainting spells, was tired all the time, had such a pain in my left side that I could hardly stand at times without putting my foot on something. "I doctored with several good doctors, but they did not help me any. I took, in all, twelve bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, five boxes of Liver Pills, and used three packages of Sanative Wash, and feel like a new woman, can eat and sleep well, do all my own work, and can walk two miles without feeling over tired.
