Its advocacy of the election of President Roosevelt had much, very much, to do with republic- @n success in New York City and State particularly, and throughout the entire country in general. It is a powerful organ. _—_—_—_— ’ THE FAIR, OUR HUMILIATION. Henry Y. Arnett must bear in mind that 2 single thsult given to any Afro- ‘American on account of color, is an {nsult to the entire race and must be 80 regarded. He cannot condone a single outrage upon the ground of a truckling expediency. The enlight- ‘ened world was congregating at St. Louis and there must be no excuse for the slightest discrimination upon any terms. Upon the merest inves- tigation we find that Afro-Americans ‘were most shamefully treated. The most palpable facts make bare the spirit of discrimination which con- stantly revealed itself in its treatment of our people. Never a. day dawned but that, before the shades of even- ing came on, some unfortunate child of the race could feel himeslf the vic- tim of humiliation and littleness, and Still, in defiance of all that has been said or done and despite the earnest protestations of self-respecting Afro- Americans and the press, these in- sults have only continued to add to our humiliation. It is to be regretted that Mr. Arnett should put himself ‘in s0 unenviable an attitude as to al- low himself to become the apologist of these wrongs to the extent of con- oning them. We can hardly believe that any one posing as a friend of the race, would suffer himself to be be- Builed into the business of defending insult given to any people. It will be known as long as time endures that the World’s fair held at St. Louis, 1904 was, in many respects, a monu- mental fraud in so much that its Pretentions were masterly sublime. ‘The world became its assembled guests and though its exhibitions in many respects, remain unsurpassed, yet im meanness and littleness of soul, its managers needed the mag- manimity of heart to receive colored citizens upon equal terms, as a part and parcel of the human family. Other nations have celebrated like Gveasicns, and received into their fosmopolitan embrace the people of all climes. But, in folly and shame, the managers at St. Louis made vic- tim the citizen of its own America, ‘and thus dishonored the fair name of our republic as compared with other countries. Let it be remem- bered that true manhood cannot and will not accept any apology for the impositions and wrongs heaped upon Afro-Americans in the World’s fair held at St. Louis in 1904. WE TOLD YOU so. Bourbon democracy wasted its time in abusing the president and murder- ing and putting up shameful jobs up- on defenseless Afro-Americans. As we predicted, the republican party has won the most complete victory known in the histur- of the country. In the most trying hours of the re- public, it has stood guard and did its duty, and in all its piloting it hag Deen a sure guarantee against cor- ruption, against oppression and mis- rule. Its star of destiny is onward and upward. The people are learning ‘to know the necessities and demands ef good government, and to guard more vigilantly their liberties and the business interest of the country. ‘Aside from mere partisanism they are concerned in preserving those meas- ures which assure the stability and Prosperity of the country. The far- a#eeing business men could not afford to vote away the accruing advantages ®0 well promised, only for the sake of Party ascendency. Times have hanged and men have learned to wote where their dollars and cents are involved. But more thn this, the republican party has long stood for ‘the liberties of the people and for the fights of the laboring masses. It has stood for equal liberty to all men, for the constitution and its amend- ments, and for the education of the people's children irrespective of waces. It has opposed in legislation vali race discrimination and has urged and penne under law the equal protection American citizens against mob violence and lawlessness.

The democrat- ie party in its mad fight against the humanity and protection of the Afro- American has never failed to expose its cloven foot and to prove itself un- worthy. the-trust--and~ confidence -of the American people. It has betrayed the venom and wrath of a party hith- erto unknown among a civilized peo- ple, and it has-literally become the shame and humiliation of the Ameri- can name. Too blind and degenerate to discover its own mistakes and its evil intents, it will ever remain a party too undeserving to claim the re- Spect and confidence of the better class of the people. Led on by W. J. Bryan, Ben Tillman and Hill, and by that political acrobat and republican renegade, Carl Schurz, its entire rec- ord becomes at once a revelation too vague and uncertain, and too revolting in its declarations to be endorsed by thoughtful and patriotic Americans. More than once Alton Parker doubted himself, and more than once did he pause in his sad career to discover the awful mistake which he had made in choosing bad company. He might have contented himself to be known as a member of the democratic party, but to become its champion and chief leader against the great and growing ‘measures of a wonderful and progres- ‘sive age, is something rather surpris- ing to those who have known and ad- mired the character of the man. But it remains now to be seen that the people did not want him. They did not want him from the very beginning and they were determined that a man So emaculate and divine to become the tool of bourbon democracy was too good to administer the affairs of the government after the manner of their dictation. The government at Wash ington still survives and the glorious cause of free government will go on. President Roosevelt, the man of the hour, is in the chair. He presides as the bright guardian of the: republic. God grant that the principles of right- eousness may become the accepted and fixed policy of the nation now and for all times. SMITH’S CASE. John T. Smith, an American citizen stationed at Fort Mott, Salem, N. J., who married an American woman, we Tearn, is to be discharged from the army for so doing. This woman, how- ever, is of mixed blood, a lady of envi- able worth and culture, whose unim- peached character placed her among the purest and best of the land. But because Mr. Smith married this Afro- American woman, it is urged by Gen. Davis and other officials in authority, that the soldier shall be removed from the service. To do such a thing would be a burning blight upon American civilization anda disgrace to the American name. To attempt to de- grade a white man exercising a righte- ous liberty under the guarantees of the constitution of his country only lowers the national character in the mind of enlightened mankind. The practices in American life have been severe and cruel in many respects, but of these none ever perpetrated can be more criminal and dastardly than this. It would be a base reflection upon the dignity and majesty of a great nation and too villainous to be tolerated. In the name of American honor, man- hood and womanhood, we protest against this cowardly disposition to degrade God’s humanity. In the name of the millions of our great country we protest against a deed so revolting to Christianity and common justice, Al- ready Afro-American humanity has been crushed, brutalized and out- raged. Will the better element of this Christian republic, recogniz- ing the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, consent to such a travesty upon humane nature? If a lawful and up- right citizen is to be reproached and punished for respecting his matri- monial obligation, then where is the difference in inflicting punishment on men for wicked breach of obligation and what title shall we concede to men who conscientiously regard chas- tity and honor? We have our courts of law to which we appeal for justice. But the infliction of punishment upon a human being for marrying a human being becomes superlative mockery of law and common decency when considered in the light of true re- ligion and the golden rule. Away with such vile hypocracy as manifested under the rulings of our free institu- tions” of government. Americans above all other nations are reputed for right-dealing and fair play among men. The spires of our church steeples pointing Heavenward but sol- emnize the faith of our own teachings, that of one blood God made all na- tions to dwell upon the earth. We boast of a congress and a government, the best, the most liberal and humani- tarian on the globe. Then why should this government recognize and toler- ate a crime so shocking and insulting to God? Why should governmental officials attempt to demean Afro- Americans only to cater to a base, un- natural and perverse southern senti- ment? But we are Americans who have been ever loyal to every patriotic principle and demand of the govern- ment. We have borne our besoms to the steel and have died for our coun- try that the nation might live. We have betrayed no trust and have fal- tered in nothing to subserve the cause of the republic. Then why this spirit of proscription and unchristian mis- anthropy that spurns humanity in a dark skin and spits in the face of the Maker of all men? To question the right of mortals, to choose and to marry whom they will, is a challenge to deity himself, and it is but the ulti- mate subversion of the principle of true piety and our religious faith. Shame upon Gen. Davis; shame upon the men who would submit themselves to become the imbeciles and tools of an act so lowering of the standard of man’s humanity to man! We protest against the act as being one not only of foul injustice to Afro-Americans, not only a perfidy and mean reflection upon excellence in character irre- spective of race, but as a crime against man and God, and we would appeal to the great president of a Magnanimous nation and would plead with kim te bestow his gracious inter- position ‘to prevent such an outrage against the race. eneeencemnennee CALLED OF GOD. President Roosevelt stands pre- eminently as the true American and patriot, ordained of God to exemplify in real character the intent and.des- tiny of our great and growing repub- lic. Call him radical, call him extrem- ist, call him the world’s greatest hu- manitarian or what we may, he cer- tainly represents the ethical idea of fair play and equal justice to man. Like a Joshua, he comes to turn the minds of the people from treachery and waywardness to the place where it was designed that the Puritan fath- ers should establish a lasting and per- manent base. From the midst of the people he came, but he comes like a Caleb to consummate the plans of a government designed to be the asylum of the oppressed and the home of the weary pilgrims seeking shelter from the rule of tyrants. Through obduracy of heart and moral blindness the American people have blundered in the management and administration of free government. They have blun- dered because they have too long wrangled over things that are right per'se. They have engaged in con- tentions in regard to things that are purely righteous and have sought to Suppress the growing sentiment of liberty and justice to all men. From the time of the establishment of our constitutional government under Washington no nation has so trampled upon the mercies of God, has so out- raged the Ten Commandments an- nounced from Mt. Sinai. The Declar- ation of Independence was a startling Proclamation in the interest of uni- versal liberty to the captive and bound of all races, but no people have in their vain boast so defied God Al- mighty and put to open shame the teachings of the Savior, His Sermon on the Mount, and His Holy Prayer which hé taught men to say: “Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy will be done on earth as it is done in Heaven.” It was a precious injunction which the Savior imposed upon men. But the mere utterances from human lips are idle mockery, unless men do the will of the Father. Too long have the American people put light for dark- ness, and darkness for light, called Sweet bitter, and bitter sweet. Too Jong have they wandered afar after strange gods. They have reared their ‘magnificent temples of worship and have assembled in weekly devotion to the Christian faith, but their strongest devotions have been given to the god of earth, to worldly gain, to idolatry and sin. They have contaminated the religions and moral sentiment of the masses in fostering the spirit of caste, and in tightening the lines of proscrip- tion against those whom they would oppress as their slaves. But along the lines of the journey where the new light dawns the alarm has come to the unalarmed and from the lips of Theodore Roosevelt, that pure patriot and matchless statesman, we hear him as one crying in the wilderness: “Pre- pare ye the way, make ready for the new coming era when men shall know the truth, shall sound it alike in the tyrant’s ear; shall press it home to the people’s heart.” Our country is unlike any other on the globe. It has announced its line of action, has sent out its bills, its programs, that the world may know its creed and faith. Now it will not do that the republic shall play a two-handed game. It dares not further advance in support of measures which are purely idol- atrous and vicious. The hour has come when the American people shall retrace their course and President Roosevelt is called to stay the tide of iniquity, of murder, of crime and the wholesale slaughtering of thousands of innocent people, whose death shall be required at our hands. May this be an era of renovation and renewed effort in the cause of national growth and development, that the faces of the people shall be turned to each other in righteousness and love. LOWELL BAKER'S SUCCESS. Wins an Excellent Government Posi- tion in the Civil Service Examina- Springfield, O—Lowell W. Baker, until recently an instructor in the woodwork and buildings department of Wilberforce university, has been appointed a superintendent of con- struction under the supervising archi- tect of the treasury department at a salary of $2,000 per year. Mr Baker, who was born here in 1868, started in life at the age of 16 years as an ap- Prentice in carpenter work. After completing his apprenticeship he worked at his trade in Columbus. He started contracting in 1892, following this for four years. During 1896-7 Mr. Baker received an appointment as in- structor at Wilberforce university, where he remained seven years. In October last he was successful in a civil service examination for the po- sition of superintendent of construc- tion, entering upon the duties of the position November 1. This is the first appointment of an Afro-American in the government service. Out of 33 ap- plicants he was the most successful of the three who passed the examina- tion—The Gazette desires an active agent and correspondent here at once. Mrs. Mattie Allen McAdoo. Boston, Mass.—A little “tempest in a tea pot” is raging in the exclusive Albemarle Chambers in Albemarle Street, Back Bay, because Mrs. M. A. McAdoo, of Columbus, O., and her lit- tle son have obtained a lease of apart- ments and moved in. The agent says Mrs. McAdoo got the lease through an agent, who presented the best creden- tials and that he never saw her. Mrs. Horace C. Hunt, one of the other ten- ants, is said to have been so “dis- turbed” that she has taken to her bed, “poor thing,” and other tenants wish to move, if they can get their leases canceled. The agent refuses to cancel them and Mrs. McAdoo says she shall stay. Ain't it just too bad? O, mercy! S. COLERIDGE-TAYLOR The Great Composer in America Ap- pears in Concert—Another Re- markable Career, Washington, D. C.—Samuel Cole- ridge-Taylor, the noted English com- poser, is in our city. and his visit to the nation’s capitol is an event of supreme importance to Afro-Ameri- cans. He came to hear the only s0o- ciety in the world that bears _ his name render his great work, “Hia- watha.” He himself conducted it, and it was the first time in his brilliant career that he wielded the baton for a chorus composed entirely of men and women in whose veins flow Negro blood—men and women akin to him in this respect. This great chorus of more than 200 yoices had the assist- ance of the famous Marine band, as well as the inspiration that it got from the presence of the great com- poser. Convention hall is the most spa- cious auditorium in Washington, and it was here that the concerts took place on two nights, No- vember 16 ond 17— “H iaw ath a” on the first night, and special works of Mr. Cole- ridge-Taylor (that is his name, not Mr. Taylor) on the sec- ond night. The success of the per- formance was long assured Sate 4 : a $8 Mees ae fans CC Nima 3 ais ae ry 7 : ere f Se a ae, a | cial way. There was a big demand for tickets, and people, white and black, exhibited the same anxiety to obtain choice seats as they do for the concerts of the great Boston Sym. phony orchestra. Of course all of us, the singers and their friends, were on the tiptoe of expectancy, anxious to know what the renowned Coleridge- Taylor would say about the rendition of his work by “The Samuel Cole. ridge-Taylor Choral Soctety.” — This organization had won its way into the hearts of the music-loving people of Washington. It impressed favorably the genius and master mind. The Washington Daily Post of last week gave this excellent account of Mr. Coleridge-Taylor: “To a reporter the composer talked interestingly of his career. He began his education in music at the early age of six with the study of the violin, and was able to read music before he could read the alphabet. At the age of sixteen he became a student in the Royal College of Music in London, where he continued the study of the violin for nearly two and a half years, when his thoughts were turned in the direction of composition by a scholar. ‘ship which was offered for the best ‘musical composition, and his success in securing this scholarship decided his career. His instructor was the celebrated Sir Charles Villiers Stam. ford, the composer of the well-known opera, Shamus O’Brien.’ “The attention of the general pub. lic was first directed to S. Coleridge. Taylor by the production at the Gloucester festival of 1889 of an or- chestral ‘Ballade in. A Minor’ of his composition. This Was followed in about three months by the first part of ‘Hiawatha,’ a dramatic cantata in three parts, which has made him fa. mous, not only in England, but also in this country, and which has been produced by the Royal Choral Society, of England, the society of the first rank in that country, and which con- tains over 1,000 voices. “Just before his departure for this country, the composer was appointed director and conductor of the Handel Choral Society, of London, which, after the Royal Choral Society, is the most important choral society in all Great Britain. This society 1s com- posed, to a large degree, of members of the nobility, and numbers among its members a son of Gladstone. “Of his own work S. Coleridge-Tay- lor thinks that his latest composition, a sacred cant&ta called ‘The Atone- ment’ is the best, though he admits that many of the public prefer ‘Hia- watha.’ “In appearance, though colored, the composer has clear-cut, delicate fea- tures, and possesses a face of the greatest intelligence; his figure is slender and graceful, and his manner, which is quite English, is most cour- teous and well-bred. He is twenty- nine years of age, having been born in London in 1875. “On November 16 and 17 S. Cole- ridge-Taylor will conduct the choral society which bears his name in the production of ‘Hiawatha’ and other of his compositions at Convention hall. The Choral Society will be assisted by an orchestra of ‘Atty-two pieces of the United States Marine band.” Mr. Coleridge-Taylor says that he is very favorably impressed with what he has seen in America. The people of Washington are determined to make his visit not only pleasant but instructive as to the condition, civili- zation and progress of the colored folk in the United States. Accidentally Killed His Brother. Columbus, O., Nov 15.—Frederick Boomer, aged 12, is dead as the re- sult of the accidental discharge of a 22-calibre repeating rifle in the hands of his brother Joseph, aged 16. The brothers with a companion were crossing a trestle when the elder, who was carrying the gun, slipped and fell. The gun dropped from his hands and on striking the ties was discharged. The gun was borrowed from a neigh- boring family, a son of whom acci- dentally killed himself with it six years ago. Mayor Did Some Patrol Duty. Columbus, O., Nov. 15.—For the purpose of satisfying himself that the patrolmen were doing their duty and with a desire to learn whether police beats are too large, as claimed, Mayor Jeffrey has been making per- sonal nightly inspections, remaining on the streets until early in the morn- ing. The mayor praises the condition of the police department. Younastown Stee! Mille Resume.

(Continued Sienna Page.) that seemed to be nature's way of telling the Negro’s story of oppres- sion, and it moved those audiences as no singing had ever done. “But you would misinterpret en- tirely the scope and purpose of Mr. Loudin’s work, did you regard his lit- tle band as merely servants to the aesthetic pleasure of the people in Great Britain. The truth is, their mission was distinctly a religious one, and Mr. Loudin never seems to have forgotten it. The work to which he attached most importance was done in connection with the various churches, and in the great religious conventions in London and the prov- inces, and when he joined his forces in evangelistic campaigns with such evangelists as Moody and John Mac- Neil. It was said of Sankey that his singing was needed to attract the audience, and that he left Moody to convert them. But we know better. Sankey’s singing was everywhere a mighty assistance in conversion. The same may be said of Mr. Loudin and his troupe. These evangelists and ministers were the first to seek their help, and the first to acknowledge how much of the gospel’s triumph was due to their songs. But their religious mission was wider still in its influ- ence, even in ways not intended by Mr. Loudin. The book containing their songs had been sold by the thousand in England and Scotland; the people had become familiar with them. And though it needs the Ne- gro to do the dialect justice, yet that did not prevent the white people, usually a quartet or a quintet of con- secrated men and women, from adopt- ing the name “The Jubilee Singers,” and establishing themselves in their own towns to sing these weird and fascinating melodies. In my own home town, ten miles from Glasgow, there was such a quintet. And in my weekly journeys, going away on the Saturday as a divinity student to oc- cupy some Congregational pulpit on the Sunday, I found a great many towns in Scotland to have a similar company, prepared to assist, with no thought of remuneration, in religious services. You can see, then, how Mr. Loudin's work has been extended and perpetuated. Only the great day will show the many direct and indirect in- fluences for good that that brother set in motion. “Look over the Jubilee Book of Songs, and you may be disposed to criticise the poor poetry. Yes, it is poor poetry, judged by our canons of poetry. But it was written by men who knew nothing of the laws per- taining to poetry or the poetic tem- perament. It is good poetry for slaves to write. Then you may find fault with the bad grammar! But you will take back your condemna- tion, if you only reflect what an ad- vance it is on what their white mas- ters wanted them to use. And you may regard the theology of their songs as execrable! Would you ex- pect slaves to have any system of theology? Yet, it is just the theology of the first half of the nineteenth century, after that teaching had passed through the mind and heart of man who were almost total strangers to all mental processes. In the circumstances of the case, these things could not be different. “It was Col. Ingersoll who said that he always felt when he passed a Ne- gro on the street that he should raise his hat to him, in consideration of the indignities and cruelties he had borne at the hands of the white man. And when we consider the heritage into which Mr. Loudin came, his struggles in early life, the high ideals and noble character that possessed the man, there is not one of us here that would debase himself did he bow to him. “Thou hast been faithful over little, I will make thee ruler over much.” “Good-bye, brother, If I don’t see you any more; I'll meet you in heaven, in the blessed kingdom, If I don’t see you any more.” WAGNER'S LOVE SONGS! the Delineator. The December Delineator, with its message of good cheer and helpful- ness, will be welcomed in every home. The fashion pages are unusually at- tractive, illustrating and describing the very latest modes in a way to make their construction during the busy festive season a pleasure instead of a task, and the literary and pic- torial features are of rare excellence. A selection of Love Songs from the Wagner Operas, rendered into English by Richard de Gallig¢nne and beauti- fully illustrated in colors by J. C. Ley- endecker, occupies a prominent place, and a chapter in the Composers’ Series, relating the Romance of Wag- ner and Cosima, in an interesting sup- plement to the lyrics. A very clever paper entitled “The Court Circles of the Republic.” describing some unique phases of Washington social life is from an unnamed contributor, who is said to write from the inner circles of society. There are short stories from the pens of F. Hopkinson Smith, Robert Grant, Alice Brown, Mary Stewart Cutting and Elmer Elliott Peake, and such interesting writers as Julia Magruder, L. Frank Baum and Grace MacGowan Cooke hold the at- tention of the children. Many Christ- mas suggestions are given in needle- work and the Cookery pages are redo- lent of the Christmas feast.

Detroit, Mich., Nov. 17.—Two pas- sengers were killed and nine or more passengers and trainmen were injured in a rear-end passenger train collision last night at Elmdale, on the Pere Marquette railroad. The dead: M. Simons, New York City. J. L. Strelitzkey, Chicago. Late last night the mangled body of a colored man was dug out of the wreck. It is supposed the body is that of the porter of the parlor car, The collision occurred at Elmdale Junction, 22 miles east of Grand Rap- ids. Both trains were eastbound, No. 6 for Detroit and No. 34 for Saginaw. The Saginaw train had preceded the Detroit train out of Grand Rapids by a few minutes and was standing on a “Y’ at Elmdale, where the Saginaw division branches off from the Detroit division. Through some mistake the switch was not turned behind the Saginaw train and the Detroit train also ran upon the “Y,” the engine of the Detroit train crashing into the rear of the parlor car of the Saginaw train. The passengers injured were in the parlor car of the latter and the train- men who were hurt were on the De- troit train. The Pere Marquette of- ficials at Detroit state that the Detroit train was running slow, as it was ap-~ proaching a station. No explanation has been made as to where the responsibility lies for fail- ure to throw the switeh behind ‘the Saginaw train when it had turned from the Detroit division. Ordinarily there is 20 minutes’ time between the two trains, but last night the Saginaw, train was held at Grand Rapids to wait for passengers from a train on the Chicago division. Through this arrangement the Detroit train was following close behind the Saginaw train as far as Elmdale. DEATH BY THE GAS ROUTE. Three New Yorkers Shuffied Off in This Manner in One Day. New York, Nov. 17.—Three persons are dead and another is at a hospital in a serious condition as a result of in- haling ‘lluminating gas. In only one case was there anything to indicate that the victim had invited death. After eking out a wretched exist- ence for several months past, ill, un- able to work and dependent upon the charity of her neighbors, Mrs. Rosa Rosenberger locked herself into her little basement room in the rear of an East Side tenement, opened half a dozen gas jets and lay down to die. Her body was found by the janitress of the building. Frederick Brandt, who called him- self a “professor of astrology,” turned on the gas by accident in his lodgings in West Forty-second street and lost his life. Accidental disconnection of a tube from the gas stove in his room on East Thirty-seventh street is supposed to have been responsible for the death of William Coffey, a roofer, Coffey had been dead for hours when his body was found. Mrs. Mary Higgins, a domestic, was overcome by gas fumes in a furnished room in the East Side. She is now at a hospital and may recover, but her condition is extremely critical. HONORED BY HIS NEIGHBORS. Democrats Vie with Republicans in Paying a Tribute of Esteem to the Vice President-Elect, Indianapolis, Nov. 17.—Political af- filiations were forgotten last night when several hundred representative men of both the republican and dem- ocratic parties assembled at the Com- mercial club to congratulate Senator Charles W. Fairbanks, vice president- elect. John W. Kern, democratic nominee for governor, sat side by side with Senator Albert J. Beveridge and Sen- ator Fairbanks, and the combination added enthusiasm when the leaders of the two parties engaged in friendly political repartee. John W. Kern acted as chairman of the meeting and called vpon Senator Fairbanks, Sen- ator Beveridge, Judge F. E. Gavin and Addison C. Harris, formerly minister to Austria. Senator Fairbanks was given pro- longed applause when he rose to speak. In his introductory address Mr. Kern paid a high tribute to the vice president-elect, saying that in the whole campaign he heard no bitter word fall from: his- lps, and that ~he yielded the same liberty to bis oppo- nents as he himself claimed under the American flag. Another Head Falls. Washington, Nov. 17.—Postmaster General Wynnt yesterday removed from office D. M. Monroe, of Wiscon- sin, a stenographer in the office of the first assistant postmaster general. The cause assigned was insubordination and the writing of a communication to the late Postmaster General Payne criticizing his superiors in the de- partment as well as the method of keeping its records. Schooner and Three Lives Lost Machias, Me., Nov. 17.—That three residents of Rogue Bluffs lost their lives in the storm Sunday night seem- ed certain yesterday when a fishing schooner was found sunken in six fathoms of water near Spruce Island, five miles from Rogue Bluffs. The boat was believed to be the schooner Uncas, which left Eastport Sunday and in the gale of that night is sup- posed to have struck on the ledges outside Spruce Island and sunk with her crew, consisting of the owner, Capt. John Wallace, Walter Davis and an unknown man. A Timely Rescue. Norfolk, Va., Nov. 17.—Capt.

The Aeolian Choral society concert advertised elsewhere in this paper to take place at Germania hall on the 22d, is to be the musical event of the autumn season. The cantata, dramatic and musical to an extraordinary degree, will be staged beautifully and rendered superbly by some of our best local talent under the direction of that prince of directors, Prof. Jno. Z. Jones, a Welshman—and they are noted for the possession of excellent voices and musical souls, just as our people are. Do not miss this treat! Mrs. J. H. Simmons, a waitress in the employ of Bowman's cafe, pounced on Miss Clara Brown on Central avenue, just east of the place, last week Thursday evening, striking her with a broom handle, it is said, and each pulling the other's hair. There was a big crowd in attendance to witness the affray, of course, and another disgraceful affair is chalked up against Afro-Americans of this community. Those who saw the fracas say that Miss Brown was in a fair way "to clean up" when the cry of "police" caused a general scatter of belligerents and spectators. Jealousy is said to have prompted the alleged assault. Postmaster J. L. Jones, of Rendville, passed through the city last and this week en route to and from New York City and called on The Gazette. He is one of the two or three Afro-American postmasters in Ohio and is a brother of the dentist, Dr. Jones, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19. 1904. formerly located in Woodliff block with Dr. E.

Marked improvement in both health and voice has resulted, so he writes. Prof. James McHenry Jones, of West Virginia, G. M. of G. U. O. of O. F. of America, is another brother." Mr. Jones anticipates four years more of mail service at Rendville, as a result of President Roosevelt's election. WOMEN'S FEDERATION MEETS. Those Who Delivered Addresses—Officers Elected—To Establish a Home—Personal and Social Notes New Castle, Pa.-J. F. Williams' dancing school last Thursday evening was a success. Persons in attendance from out of town were: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gilbert, Mr. John Berry, Mr. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Hall, of Youngstown; Mrs. Fred Gilbert, of Pittsburg; Mr. T. Burk and sister, Mrs. Burns and lady, Mr. F. Burk, of Sharon, and Mr. T. Pullman, of Indiana, who promised to return for the following regular meeting of the school on Thursday evening.—Our Women's State Federation of Clubs met here recently and formulated plans for establishing a home for destitute children of Pennsylvania, locating it in this city or vicinity. Efforts to raise funds will be inaugurated at once. Mrs. Lidia Johnston, Mrs. K. F. Tilghman, Mrs. Sadie Delibardie, Miss Anna Oakes and Mrs. Blanche Dillard were appointed a committee on location and will report to the executive board, to which the money for the proposed home is to be sent. A majority of the federation's officers were re-elected: President, Mrs. Rebecca Aldridge, Pittsburg; vice president, Mrs. Sadie Delibardie; second vice president, Mrs. Sadie Hamilton; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Eppie Dillard; recording secretary, Mrs. Geo. Payne, Pittsburg; treasurer, Mrs. G. W. Randolph. Executive board: Mrs. Ida Stinson, Mrs. M. Sutton, Mrs. Gertrude S. Webster, Miss Oakes, Mrs. Kreba F. Tilghman, Mrs. K. Williams, Mrs. Clara B. Kearns. The Ladies' Aid society, of Homestead, joined the federation. The closing session on Thursday evening of last week proved exceptionally interesting. The new officers and members of the executive board were brought to the platform and presented to the audience. The next meeting place was not decided upon, but many thanks were returned to the local press and Dunbar Reading circle for courtesies extended. Mrs. C. Hurrington, Mrs. Ida Stinson and Mrs. M. J. Gibson, of Louisville, delivered interesting talks and addresses. Mrs. Sadie Delibardie represented the Dunbar Reading circle in a few well chosen words. Then came adjournment. Most of the delegates remained until Friday morning and were accompanied to the train by the local members of the federation. Dinner and supper were served at the church during the convention. GANS EAGER. Colored Champion Wants Another Match—Says Low Weight Made Him Weak. San Francisco, Cal.—Al. Hereford, manager of Joe Gans, the champion lightweight pugillist, said recently in an interview: "If Britt will fight Gans at Baltimore my club will hang up a purse of $15,000, and if Britt will meet Gans at 134 pounds ringside. I will give him a side bet of $2,000 and he can split the purse 60 and 40 per cent. if he chooses. I have always contended that Gans can do weight easier in the east than he can here, and I am still of this belief. I will take Graney for referee, or Britt can have somebody else." Of his fight with Britt Gans said: "I was too weak to do myself justice. After I went to my corner in the second round I knew it. I would like to fight Britt again, but I would not do it at 133 pounds ringside." Referring to his failure to win the championship, Britt said: "The decision was fair. I could not help it. Gans kept slipping to the floor without being struck. He also kept hanging on to me and I tried to fight him off. I went in to win, and, in my opinion, I would have knocked Gans out had the fight continued." Correspondents Wanted.

Washington, Nov. 14.—Lack of officers for ordnance duty and the overtaxing of the naval gun factory at Washington continue to be the two most serious problems facing the bureau of ordnance, according to the annual report of Rear Admiral Mason, chief of ordnance, just approved by Secretary Morton. The report says a plan for reorganization or the work of the bureau will be submitted later, with a view to increasing the supply of ordnance experts. Of the rush of work at the naval gun factory, Admiral Mason says: "The naval gun factory has been running night and day at full capacity, and although good progress has been made, the congested condition of all work there gives assurance that its capacity is being overtaxed and must, unless this capacity is materially increased, eventually result in failure to supply the ordnance outfits of ships in time to meet the demands of the contractors." Of the the 52 12-inch guns required, the 20 for the Virginia class have been completed, six of the 45-calibre guns are being machined and the forgings for 22 of the remaining have been ordered and are being delivered. Nine ten-inch guns are under construction. Of the 128 eight-inch guns required, 24 40-calibre guns for the Pennsylvania class of armored cruisers are nearly completed. The naval gun factory will make 16 of the 88 seven-inch guns required, the others having been contracted for by private parties. Of the 250 six-inch 50-calibre guns required, those for the Pennsylvania class of armored cruisers have been completed and 144 guns required for the battleships of the Virginia class and the armored cruisers of the Tennessee and St. Louis classes are being manufactured. For the armament of all vessels building, 488 three-inch 50-calibre guns are required. One hundred and twenty-five of these have been provided for and further orders have been suspended pending the development of an efficient semi-automatic gun of this calibre.

Baron Moncheur, the Belgian minister at Washington, was riding recently near the capitol, and asked a small boy to hold his horse while he telephoned to a suburban friend. When he returned he found a smaller but keener-looking youngster holding the animal. "Hello!" said he. "You are not the boy I hired." "No, sir," said the boy, "but I spekilated. I give the other boy ten cents for his chance." "What could I do after that?" asked the baron of a friend, later. "It was bulling the market, but I had to give him a quarter."—N. Y. Tribune.

It came on me gradually. I felt tired and weak, was short of breath and was troubled with bloating after eating, and my wife of G. N. FOOKS, limbs were badly swollen. One doctor told me it would finally turn to Bright's disease. I was laid up at one time for three weeks. I had not taken Doan's Kidney Pills more than three days when the distressing aching across my back disappeared, and I was soon entirely cured." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

WHAT HE GOT THEM WITH "Gentlemen," began the fakir as he arranged numerous bottles on a little table at a downtown street corner and prepared for business, "has anyone in this crowd got a toothache?" No one answered, relates the Chicago Inter Ocean. "Has anyone an earache or a headache?" Not a man had anything to say. "Very well, then; but are you troubled with insomnia? Are you low spirited, and do you find yourself thinking of suicide?" The appeal was like the other—in vain. The crowd elbowed each other, but no one advanced. "Very well, gentlemen; very well. Now, is there anyone here who indulges in intoxicants and wishes to conceal the fact from the women folks? If so, I guarantee that one drop of this marvelous preparation placed on the tongue will instantly remove the odor of any—" There was a mad rush from all directions, and for the next five minutes he gave change and passed out the bottles with both hands. A Facer. A young Englishman on a visit to one of the Irish local gentry once remarked on the number of donkeys in use among the peasantry, and turning to the priest, who was present, inquired, with a certain insolence of manner, whether it was true that "the natives" kept them in their own homes. "Yes," replied the padre gravely, "they do. The English, I perceive, send them abroad."—Smith's Weekly. An Honest Opinion. Mineral, Idaho, Nov. 14th (Special). That a sure cure has been discovered for those sciatic pains that make so many lives miserable, is the firm opinion of Mr. D. S. Colson, a well-known resident of this place, and he does not hesitate to say that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The reason Mr. Colson is so firm in his opinion is that he had those terrible pains and is cured. Speaking of the matter he says: "I am only too happy to say Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me lots of good. I had avful pains in my hip so I could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney Pills stopped it entirely. I think they are a grand medicine." All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are caused by Uric Acid in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys and healthy kidneys strain all the Uric Acid out of the blood. With the cause removed there can be no Rheumatism or Sciatica.

THE FIRST ONE IS OF A LIGHT-COLORED CLOTH, WITH PIPINGS AND BUTTONS OF VELVET, THE SECOND IS OF BLACK TAFFETA. Now that we are getting well advanced in the matter of winter modes, it has become an established fact that velvet in black and the most glorious shadings is the fashionable fabric for best shade. A black velvet coat is a possession, and even if it means a considerable outlay at first, it is, like fur, a standby for at least two or three winters. For velvet is a fabric which lends itself admirably to alterations and renovations. afternoon and evening toilette. Such a beautiful material is worthy of the "Directoire" modes. But the thick silks and taffetas and even the softer fabrics are by no means at a discount for afternoon wear; neither is the popularity of faced cloth on the wane, but for the afternoon reception frock velvet leads the way. For some time past we have known that the Parisian couturieres meant this to be the favorite material for the winter, and some of the early model evening dresses of velvet were seen in September and bought by American houses. The directoire coat of velvet is open to many variations. Every kind of velvet coat is being worn—the cutaway, the swallow-tail, the short basque, the habit, and the Louis XVI style. Velvet is also used as a trimming on some of the beautiful faced cloths. In headgear, too, the mirror velvet or the Terry make is de rigueur; in fact, this might rightly be called a velvet season. Green is a very pleasing color in this fabric, as it takes such beautiful lights. Some of the new tomato reds, too, are lovely. Brown shades, of course, are worn with sable trimming. Green, by the way, and rose color look perfectly lovely with chinchilla, which fur seems a fitting accompaniment to a velvet gown. How costly it all sounds! Lace, too, of the most expensive quality is another favorite trimming. I fear many of us will have to content ourselves with cloth trimmed with velvet. A favorite French toilette consists of a long, plain cloth skirt, and a velvet coat, generally of contrasting The Modes as Seen in Paris PARIS.—It is so difficult to say what is the fashion this year. One morning a smart mondaine will appear in a short, plaid skirt and a smart little cut-away coat, and the very next day she may come out in a champagne colored long skirt with a directoire cut-away coat of velvet. There is no rule or regulation either for the morning or afternoon, and even at the races the severely tailor-made frocks from Vienna are a prevailing feature, in direct Virgile Coulé contrast to the elaborate frocks of mixed cloth and velvet. RAILWAY RUMBLE. Bolivian railroads are after American capital. Every Danish state locomotive that has gone for some years past into the shops for repairs has had its wheel peripheries gauged, and, besides less wear with large wheels, it is found that single drivers run better than four-coupled, and four than six-coupled, where the road is the same, and that, in each class, where the road is more flimsy, the wear is greater. N P shade. A black velvet coat is a possession, and even if it means a considerable outlay at first, it is, like fur, a standby for at least two or three winters. For velvet is a fabric which lends itself admirably to alterations and renovations. There is no doubt that a new make of velvet, mixed with cotton, or a glorified velveteen will have to take the place of the better fabric with the majority of us. Nowadays velveteen can be had in such lovely shadings and many a charming frock can be arrived at without a very considerable outlay. If we cannot afford the best, we must put up with the second best. Some women, perhaps, will find a faced cloth more useful than a velveteen, and their choice, of course, must depend upon circumstances. Panne, too, is a favorite fabric used as a trimming. A smart costume of gray cloth had incrustations of panne forming three old-fashioned ruchings of the same half way up the skirt. The coat of panne and cloth had a vest and deep cavalier cuffs of cloth adorned with silk buttons, and a cravat of lace and chinchilla, surmounted by a turban hat of gray cloth with a lining of velvet and cockades of black and steel embroidery. In direct contrast to the beauties of velvet we have the simplicity of cashmere, which is greatly worn in Paris, and this forms an ideal and inexpensive house frock, as I have previously suggested. Among the inexpensive cloths there are many rough hopsacks which form smart Russian blouses and short skirts for morning wear in town. Nowadays, when so many of the bodices are made like well-fitting blouses, it is an economical idea for the autumn to have these in thick stuffs; if we put on something warm underneath we may perhaps get on for another month without a fur coat. ELLEN OSMONDE vorite Viennese mixture and so, indeed, is brown braided with brown or homespun trimmed with passementerie. The favorite finish of the neat coats is a little manly velvet collar; this always looks very smart. The waistcoat is an important feature of the Viennese faced-cloth frocks. Here again, braid is greatly used and so are kid trimmings and embroideries. Some models show fur waistcoats and collars, chinchilla, beaver and krimmer being used on cloth costumes of the same color, and worn with a simple toque of the same fur. In Vienna they are, I hear, wearing the long and severely cut redingote, rounded and beautifully fitted over the hips; sometimes they are gathered into pleats at the back after the fashion of 12 or 14 years ago, but I imagine they the better when kent plain. Black silk braid seems a suitable trimming for the very fine faced cloths. Earnings of mink, sable and chinchilla all look well on the tailor-made. Very smart Parisians are wearing black; by us, but it is extraordinary how well this is not as a rule a color adopted some of our countrywomen look in a black faced cloth skirt of umbrella shape, gauged slightly at the hips, and a long redingote of black peau de soie, trimmed with an embroidered or velvet collar, and lightened by a cravat of chinchilla and lace or sable and lace, and worn with a toque of autumnal flowers. The eighteenth century riding-hat continues in vogue and so also do directoire models of all kinds. Some curious puce and purple shades are fashionable and these are charming in faced cloth costumes worn with stoles of chinchilla and lace. The fur and lace stole is a feature just as the cravat or tie of fur and lace, or embroidered edged with fur is another feature among dainty little accessories of the toilette. ANNETTE GIVRY.

Exchange Left-Handed Compliments and Come Out About Even. "Better let me bring you a nice eggplant this mornin'," said the grocery man to the pretty cook, according to the Chicago Daily News. "Then you can make your own eggs, Evelina. What do you do with 'em all?" "Batter cakes, sweet cakes, custards an' omelettes mostly," replied the cook. "Don't you ever make eggnog?" "I don't know what it is," declared the cook. "I've heard tell of it, but I couldn't say whether it was baked or fried." "It ain't neither," said the grocery man. "It's biled. If you go to fry a egg-nog you spoil it. I'd sooner eat it raw. Where was you Thursday night?" "Stayed in an' sewed buttonholes on my dishcloths," said the pretty cook. "What was that for?" "To make 'em look pretty—same reason you've got your mustach curled. I think a man looks well curlin' up his mustach with curlin' tongs—like a girl." "I never seen a girl curl her mustach myself," said the grocery man. "I wasn't to blame for this, though. It was the barber. He got me tied in the chair so's I couldn't move an' gagged me so's I couldn't holier an' then got out his hot frons an' done the job. I didn't want him to do it." "I s'pose not," said the pretty cook. "Sure thing I didn't. I knowed I was beautiful the way I was. My natural looks make me enough trouble with the girls." "I don't think they ought to blame you for 'em," said the cook. "You can't help your face. I had an uncle once that looked something like you—not quite as bad, maybe—but he was sensitive about it all the same, which you ain't." "He ought to have had his face amputated if it was as bad as that," observed the grocery man. "Or he might have gone to one of these face foundries an' had it recast. I knew a feller once they called Nosey, an' he saved his money an' went to a professor an' got his beak trimmed down so he didn't hardly have enough left to smell fried onions. Then they got to callin' him Pug, an' he went back to the professor an' wanted to know if he had any of the old material left to put back agin. The professor done the best he could an' the job looked all right, but Nosey died of heart failure less'n a month after that. He was scared to death for fear somethin' would make him sneeze." "You'd better see one o' them professors," observed the pretty cook. "Why would I?" asked the grocery man. "My nose is all right as far as it goes an' it goes as far as I want to foller it." "Your nose may be all right." "I guess it is," said the grocery man, indignantly. "How about my hair? "I don't like red myself," said the cook, "but the color's good enough for them as likes it.

GIRL AND WOMAN GIRL AND WOMAN CARE NEEDED AT THE CHANGE FROM ONE TO THE OTHER. Many a Life Spent in Suffering Because Troubles Were Allowed to Develop At This Time. Every mother of a growing girl should remember that there will come a time when her daughter will be a girl no longer but will share with her the blessings of womanhood. Unless nourishment keeps pace with growth the foundations of a life of suffering are laid at that time. Mrs. John MacKinney, of No. 478 Thirteenth street, Detroit, Mich., writes a timely word. She says: "I did not get proper care at the first critical time in my life and for seventeen years I suffered as a result. I had dizzy spells, felt a constant fear that something dreadful was about to happen and was afraid to go out alone. My breathing was very short and I had palpitation of the heart so badly that I could not go up stairs nor walk even moderately fast. I was so nervous that I could not sit still. At different times for years I was under the care of the best physicians in Detroit and I tried a number of advertised medicines. Nothing helped me until, on the advice of a neighbor, I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I felt relieved before the first box was finished and I kept on taking them until I was cured. "Last winter my little girl had rheumatism and I gave her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and she got well right away. My niece was thought to be going into consumption and, upon my advice, she tried the pills. They cured her cough and she is now well and strong. My entire family are enthusiastic over Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and we cannot say enough in their praise." These pills effect such cures because they go to the root of the disease. Other remedies act on the symptoms—the marvelous vegetable pills remove the cause of the trouble. They have proved themselves to be an unfailing specific for all diseases arising from impure blood and weakened nerves—two fruitful causes of nearly all the ills to which humankind is heir. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are sold in boxes at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct from Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.
