THE TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 34. Some New Parisian Toilets FRENCH DESIGNS HE American girl has been considerably on the dashing order, but she is never quite so daring in the matter of clothes as the French woman, who adopts a new fashion with abandon. We usually modify the French designs to suit our own ideals of dress. The designs here shown are not extreme, but are distinctively Parisian. The tailor gown is of reseda cloth, and trimmed with stitchings of darker green. The vest of the soft pale green silk fastens with small steel buttons; the collars and cuffs are of black taffeta, and this touch of black giving character to the costume, is a French touch. The black has the long plaited an azone basque, and brettes of stitched cloth extend to the shoulder and taper to the waist. For summer wear, vests, collar and cuffs may be one of the coarse embroidered linens which are to be used a great deal the coming season for this purpose. The dressier toilet is a soft cloth of pastel gray. The full corsage is of gray taffeta, the high corselet of the cloth trimmed with gray silk "galon." The galon trims the front panel of the skirt, and borders the band of taffeta near the bottom of the skirt. Note the hats worn with these costumes; the soft slouching one with the tailor suit whose trimming is a soft draped ribbon about the band, with, on one side well toward the front, a great rose made of ribbon. The other hat is the much dented sort, worn low and trimmed at the back with fluffy tips. Ribbon is now having great vogue, and the trimming employed on the hat with the tailor suit is a prime favorite, the single large rose made of shaded ribbon. Shaded ribbons, as well as shaded silk gowns, are to be affected by well-dressed women this year. Mark well the sleeves of the afternoon toilet; the fashionable puffed elbow sleeve, the undersleeve of white sheer material, gathered at the hand into a pretty frill and bound there with a band of velvet the shade of the trimming. Girl That Blooms In the Spring HE is trim and simple as a snow-drop. And as attractive. She is well illustrated here; the neat jacket, well-fitting vest, small, dainty hat trimmed with only a scarf. But this simplicity does not represent a mere nothing in the way of money; no, it costs to obtain such a cut, the right set absolutely necessary when a severe tailor style is used. The fronts are semiloose, but that still means the utmost care is needed to get the proper fit. Better get few gowns, and have them well made, than many poorly fashioned. The hat, while a very important portion of the toilet, does not demand always such an expert manipulator as the gown, and a head adornment that is very satisfactory can be picked up at the less expensive places. Green is the color of the season; there are numerous beautiful shades to choose from. Hats are small and much dented, plucked at this point and that to suit the wearer. Ruches are worn with almost all styles of neckwear, a very cleanly and admirable fashion. Petticoats of silk match the trimming on nat or gown, a very pretty way of emphasizing the color scheme. Flower hats are much liked, but not good ones come high. We saw a beautiful one the other day made entirely of white Hiasc. It looks now as though white hats were again to be the thing for dressy wear, though many beautiful costume hats are shown. This queer little round ones worn over the face and with a lot of trimming bunched at the back will be popular for street wear. Pongee gowns are growing in popularity; the coming season will be a pongee and mohair period; and both are admirable warm weather fabrics. White cream ponges are selling for T S Faded shades are approved by the Parisian, the pastel-grays, old-roses, pastel-blue, pale mauve leading in favor. They often are more becoming than the vivid tones. A coral red is trying to make headway, and has been adopted by not a few. The stout woman will retain the plain gored skirt, fitting closely about the hips, but effort is being made to introduce for the slender woman the skirt that has fullness at the waist line. So far the effort has not met with much success, but it will not be long, we think, ere there will be a decided return to gathers that ripple from the belt. Fullness at the bottom, a great deal of it, is seen on all skirts of the day; it takes yards and yards of material now that voluminous petticoats and big sleeves reign. The rage for the old-fashioned affects things generally; jewelry set in a flat manner is worn by those that can get hold of the truly old; velvet bands with jeweled buckles are worn on the wrists, and the elbow-sleeve of the day calls for a return of the bracelet. Just one bracelet is seen, and it may be of any style, any period. Garnet, jewel beloved of our grandmothers, is in high esteem; we noticed a very beautiful necklace recently of garnet beads having for pendant a cross of garnets. Ransack old boxes and drawers and see if you have not something to bring forth for this old-time loan exhibition. The bolero coat is very much to the fore. One sees it in cloth, silk and lace. It is to be worn not only as a dress addition to a costume, but as a spring and summer wrap. We do not remember ever before having noticed such a variety of bolero designs. Covert coats are lined nowadays, and so made that glimpses of the lining are displayed. Linen is to be immensely popular, and many accessories are made of this material we once never should have dreamed of using. Linen girdes abound in show windows, and promise to be a feature of summer dress. As a rule they are embroidered. Waists of handkerchief linen are to be had—if one has enough money. M. L. walists, and of these very lovely and at the same time serviceable walists are built up. There is no more becoming white material, and none that wears better. Ruches of silk baby-ribbon come in different colors and are very pretty, but not so dainty as the white or cream ruche. A very dainty one of the latter sort we noticed the other day, one that could be made at home easily and for a farthing. Make a double ruffle of finest, softest mull, the usual width of the ruche sold in the stores, sew into a band, wear at both neck and wrist. This is becoming to young and old alike. GAZETTE. MODISH COAT AND HAT. ELLEN OSMONDE. CLEVELAND O., SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1905. SAW PRESIDENT Roosevelt and Urged the Reduction of the Representation Of Southern States Having Disfranchisement "Laws," and Asked that. the Inter-State Commerce Laws be Invoked in an Effort to Wipe Out the South's "Jim Crow" Cars—Other Race Doings. T. A. Green, of Los Angeles, Cal., has been appointed second assistant journal clerk of the senate of California. He is the first Afro-American to be appointed to a clerical position in the legislature of that state. Prof. Richard Theodore Greener, who was appointed by President McKinley as commercial agent at Vladivostok, Russia, at a salary of $2,500 per annum, has been succeeded by Mr. Hayne, of South Carolina, who is consul at Rouen, France. J. H. B. House, the millionaire who died in Houston, Texas, recently left to his house servants, Maggie Thompson and Naney Vaughn, each $500. The deceased was a brother of T. W. House the banker, one of the best friends the honest, industrious, self-respecting Afro-American has in that city. There are four banks owned and controlled by our people of Richmond, Va., that are considered as strong as any others in the city. The four insurance companies operating there readily complied with the new state law requiring $10,000 to be deposited with the auditor of public accounts, as surety for the indemnifying of policy holders. The Voice of The Negro is a splendid magazine and is deserving the support of the race; but it must get out of the Austell building in Atlanta or shut up shop. All that it may say in defense of the race amounts to nothing, so long as they have offices in that building which gives white people first class elevator service and forces Negroes and freight together on "Jim Crow" elevators.—Mobile (Ala.) Weekly Press. The Bemidji, Minn., local newspaper has the following to say of a successful Afro-American lawyer: "Attorney Clark. Scratchins has taken up his residence on his homestead in Grant valley. He has an $8-acre tract nicely located on the Mississippi river. He has made improvements to the extent of a nice five-room cottage, barn, hennery and other outbuildings, purchased a horse and buggy, and drives to and from his business in town every day. "Since "colored," men doing business and depending upon the race for patronage seem to proceed on the assumption that they should be patronized because they are "colored." They are not accommodating to their would-be customers. They fail to keep goods that are up to the stand.ard. They neglect to keep their places of business tidy and shut out the loafers. As a matter of fact, "colored" men in business should come up to the different respects indicated and then they ought to expect and have the patronage of our people.—Charlotte (N. C.) Afro-American Presbyterian. Although we admire the achievements of the race loosely known as the Anglo-Saxon, we believe it to be far from perfect, especially in the south. It is a notorious fact that the prisons of London were drained to furnish population for many of the southern states; and to find wives for these criminals, wretches convicted of the most flagrant crimes, the bawdy houses of London were emptied of prostitutes. From such a disgraceful origin sprang a vast number of those white men who in the south to day rant most fiercely about the "divine Anglo-Saxon." "A l, L. Stokes, in N. Y. Age. Are we to understand that every Negro is to be stoned to death who dares, in any company or any cause, to raise his head in public without wearing the insigna of the house of Tuskegee? Shall we, even when we seek to serve the cause of free domestics in the utter liberty, be urged to dress in the livery of the Crownian cult? The signs multiply that such is the condition that confronts us. To quote Joseph Chamberlain, there seems to be "a treaty, a compact, or an understanding if you please," to that effect. If not, why then this bitter boycott against every man and every movement which bears not the Tuskegee label? These questions press for answers—Alexandria (Va.) Home News. Gov. Vardaman has issued a strong address to the peace officers of his state declaring that the situation in Mississippi is becoming critical; that crime is rampant in all quarters of the commonwealth, and urging officers at once to begin a crusade to clean out the dives and haunts of criminals. "I want the Negro protected in his enjoyment of life, liberty and the product of his labor and the pursuit of happiness. I want the mob spirit discouraged in every way, and the only way to do it is to enforce vigorously the laws against vagrants particularly and all criminals of both races. If this shall be done I feel safe in saying that crime done among Negroes in Mississippi during this year will decrease 75 per cent." The following persons were invited early in February by Bishop Alexander Walters and Prof. Kelly Miller to meet in Washington, D. C., on March 7 and call on the president in behalf of a reduction of southern representation in congress because of disfranchisement: Prof. DuBois, Prof. Kelly Miller, Prof. J. W. E. Bowen, Prof. S. G. Atkins, Hon. D. A. Straker, Hon. Harry C. Smith, of Ohio; Hon. J. T. Seattle, John A. Hahn, esq, George H. Jackson, esq. W. Ashleigh Hawkins, esq, William Trotter, esq, Witfield McKinlay, esq, Bishop Abraham Grant, Bishop Alexander Walters, Rev O. M. Waller, Dr. H. T. Johnson, Rev C. H. Parish, Rev. Matthew Anderson, Rev R. D. Boyd, Rev. Byron Gunner, esq, and Esq, J. G. Wetmore, esq, and Prentice J. G. Wetmore also urged the president to favor vigorous methods to stop "Jim Crow" carism as effecting inter-state passengers. This with the assistance of the United States attorney general and under the inter-state commerce laws The reduction of representation in congress from such states as do now violate the letter and the spirit of the constitution does not mean political extermination for the Afro-American citizen, as some affirm, for there still remains the potent Fifteenth amendment, to be enforced by appropriate legislation. Would you argue that to punish a wife-beater at the whipping post is simply to confer on him the right to continue his brutality? Why say, then, that to punish the south for nullifying the constitution is to banish the colored man from politics and empower the south to continue its violations and injustices? Let the south's representation in congress be reduced and then be restored and increased only as it shall cooperate with the national government in shaping that for Afro-American citizenship, thus raise his every political right. No man can lead us who will not demand and insist upon our civil and political rights, without compromise or retreat. We can regard no man as our friend who does not believe that we should have what other men will stake their lives for, the ballot. There is now illuminating this race of ours an awakening conviction that the day has passed, in a storm cloud of civil and political disaster, when we will follow leaders who, either in weakness, blindness or treachery, demand less for us than a fair field and no favors, than human, manhood, civil and political rights, without compromise.—Dr. Owen W.

In the Convention Because He is an Enemy of the Race. One of the Worst, Too, in Years—Let Our People Unite as One Man in This Opposition to Jim Linn —Personal and Other Items of Interest Springfield, O.—First of all, I desire to impress upon the minds of all readers of this article the fact that I am not actuated by any desire for political gain, and that I am pledged to no candidate for the nomination as auditor of Clark county. I have not "been seen" by any candidate and am pledged to but one thing—the defeat of James Linn, the worst enemy the Negro has ever had in Clark county. He is the worst enemy, because he has been in position to do the most harm. As editor of a morning paper with a daily circulation of about 10,000, he has never lost an opportunity to strike an "Oyama" blow at the poor, helpless Negro. No event has happened recently, but in the past few years his greatest glory seemed to be to head his paper with "The big, burly Negro," or "Negro brute grabs a white girl." In a number of cases he has had no justification for such head lines, the case as usual thing being of the most trivial nature. As an instance, allow me to mention the Calloway case. In this case he tried by editorials to soothe the minds of the white populace, and as to convict an innocent Negro boy of "grabbing a white girl" and it was only by the combined efforts of a score of witnesses, James Carson, (a wealthy merchant), his son and servant, that his son was finally able to prove an alibi. To his editions concerning the recent rioting and that most despicable blot on the city of Paximus, the lynching of Richard Pixian, can be directly attributed the greatest share in producing the prejudicial condition which was the cause of such rotous acts. For a number of years he has written inflammatory editorials about the least of the Negroes of the Nexmoens to be an inherent part of the Linn family. His brother, in an article published about one year ago in a leading Philadelphia magazine, lambasts the Negro in scathing terms and declares that the Negro should be disfranchised and returned into slavery. Is a man of such family history to be supported by the Negro? How can a man who has continually flogged the Negro ask that same Negro to give him his support? How can any Negro give him that support? Cut him in the convention. Let him feel the power of those whom he has been fighting hardest, and select that man whom we know from preceding acts to be at least a little friendly toward us. When we do this then we will have developed a power in the community. C. S. Jackson, M. D.

A DAMAGE SUIT FILED. Miss Olive Ormes Asks $500 From Riverside Recreation Co., Because Refused the Floor. Warren, O.—Miss Olive Ormes has brought suit against the Riverside Recreation Co., which operates the auditorium, asking $500 damages under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law. She purchased tickets for admission and skating and when she was ready to go on the floor, was prohibited from so doing. Therefore she was greatly humiliated and damaged to the above and a greater amount, in our judgement. In a letter to the MISS OLIVE ORMES. editor of The Gazette. Mrs. Wallace Ormes, or Mrs. of Miss Olive, writes: "We intend fighting the case to the bitter end and we also feel very grateful to you for passing such a law for our benefit, and we would be very ungrateful if we did not take advantage of it." Miss Olive was born in Youngtown, has been a resident of Warren for the past 10 years and is a memoirist. The junior class of the local high school poses the most musical ability as a pianist and singer. She is a general favorite with her classmates and teachers and is an ardent church worker. The junior choir of the Christian Endeavor of the A. M. E. church was organized by her. 2 One Year. $1.50 Six Months. 1.00 Three Months. 50 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- office money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter.

TRADE SCHOOL COUNCIL LONDON 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. The few of our race contemporaries who fret and fume as the result of criticisms of Booker T. Washington's hurfull "nigger" stories, and bane-full and injurious statements made to please the prejudiced south, should stop abusing the critics and commence counseling him to stop it. That is the easiest, quickest, surest and only way to reach a satisfactory conclusion. The American critics of Mr. Daniel Murray's forthcoming book on the "colored" race are presenting the strongest argument in favor of its publication when they so soon begin to object to his doing what all prejudiced Americans do, to-wit: Classing every individual with a drop of "colored" blood in his or her veins, as "colored." By all means let us have the book, Mr. Murray, and soon, too. Let it include Dumas, Puskin, Murillo, Gen. Dodd, Alexander Hamilton, Robert Browning, Gen. Antonio Maceo, his cousin the "Spanard" ex-governor general of Cuba just prior to the island's last and greatest war in many respects, and all the rest. RATIONAL EMOTION. A learned southern divine (white) ridicules the educated "colored" minister as being emotional. In making this declaration, this southern divine means rather to imply that educated "colored" ministers show more of feeling than sense, that he is lost in sensation without a proper control of the thinking faculties and judgment and hence is disqualified to occupy the pulpit. With no reason, however, in justification can the assertion be sustained with any discredit to that class of ministers whose souls are animated with a pure and lofty impulse. Men may be emotional and still not be excessively so. The greatest orators of any age were emotional, yet they controlled their audiences and held them in speechless awe. Demosthenes of Greece, Cleicer of Rome: Edmund Burke and William Pitt could never have led the British House of Lords did they not possess that emotion of heart and soul to quicken the blood into happy pulsations. Patrick Henry and Henry Clay were moved by the loftiest emotions to plead the cause of their country. Henry Ward Beecher, Ell Hugh Burritt, Charles G. Finny, Spurgeon and Talmage—the world's best gift in oratory, spoke in thoughts that breathed and words that burned. But without the awakening power of life-giving emotion, mankind might never have felt the force and benefices of their influence. The Afro-American may manifest a high degree of emotion in the present period of history, but a day comes when by wisdom and learning and by the touch of an unnering impulse, he shall awaken millions and call the nations to hear him for his cause. Feelings of emotion may be awakened, excited and aroused, but they are the impulse of objects beautiful, transcendent and sublime. Had we no emotions emanating from these, we could never know the beautiful, the true and the good. We could have no sense of our own mental being. It is the indispensable condition of our perceptive power, inducing impressions that lift us above the thunder and the storm, that bring us to a proper discrimination between right and wrong and impel us to the discharge of our duty to God, or to yield limb and life rather than fall. Let the scotters ridicule the Afro-American minister, yet in our admiration and love for the beautiful, in our earnest and warmest devotion to the Father, the true minister of Christ shall sensibly realize that emotion with him is the gift of God in the creation and endowment of the human soul. WE MUST BE CIRCUMSPECT. Prof. Council poses as a leader of our people in the south. His great work in the cause of education is to be commended and encouraged. But the professor seems not to base his efforts upon the principles of equal and untrammeled manhood. He therefore impairs the work which he advocates and hopes to accomplish. We can not enhance the cause of a system which looks to the elevation of the masses, while we in any way condone evil practices as an offset to a glaring error. Says the professor: "I do not fear southern oppression half as much as I do the invasion of northern white labor, which comes with its social prejudice, often pleading its color as its only mark of superiority. The color-line was never carried upo brick walls and to the carpenter's bench in the industries of the south, until northern white labor carried it there." The above is too compromising and hurtful to the cause of the race, when the professor speaks in mitigating terms of one evil practice by way of censuring another. In fighting crime and injustice, we are not asked to offer such a comparison as a helpful means to race elevation. It may be prudent, that we do not always express what we believe, but it is never helpful and never best for us to advocate what we do not believe. The people of the north may draw the color line, but the denial of personal liberty, personal protection and the right of suffrage in the south, are unparallel wrongs compared with the social prejudices in the north. It is hardly possible for any intelligent mind that understands the history of the country to maintain that conditions in the great north are unfavorable to the Afro-American as in the south. Professor Council knows better and he well knows that he does not believe what he teaches. The battle of freedom for the black man was fought and won by the people of the north and it was through the inculturation of northern sentiment that emancipation came to the enslaved of the south. The sentiment of universal freedom has been the fostering idea of the northern mind, and it is that which nerves the better element of the north to contend for equal justice and fair play for the colored man. Without that element which has so persistently pressed the claims of the race and of the poor and suffering of our country, our condition would be deplorable indeed. By the ceaseless agitation of the slavery question and the unspeakable wrongs perpetrated under the cruel system of southern oppression northern sentiment has done no little part in bringing the Negro to his present status. Northern sentiment has long offered its protest against the atrocious crimes practiced upon a helpless and inoffensive people. It is needless to tell of the many deeds of love and sympathy shown this race through the generosity and humanity of the north but it betrays thoughtlessness and ingratitude upon the part of any southern Afro-American to write thus disparagingly of those who have long been the real benefactors of our people. We can not afford to show such ingratitude in the face of passing events. Good and brave men of the north both in the pulpit and through the press espoused the cause of the Afro-American and we still need them. Conditions in the United States show conclusively that if the Afro-American succeeds at all it will be through himself and the aid of his friends. Then if we tell of our wrongs and the injustice done us, let not the professor be hasty in charging his race with abuse against the south. Only let him be as faithful consistent and loyal to the instincts of his better manhood and he will find no occasion to compromise with oppression nor tamper with the sacred demands of justice. WHITE STUDENTS REBEL! Decline to Attend a Professor's Class Until the Matter is Settled-An Afro-American Student's Treatment the Cause. Akron, O.—The entire male student body of Buchtel college was out of all of Prof. Parson's classes, after the 9:15 class last week Friday morning, in sympathy with one of the students who was refused admittance to the Freshman literature class. It seems that the student, Alexander Turner, an Afro-American, who, by the way, is highly respected by the entire student body, was ordered to leave the class room, by Prof. Parsons, because the race question was to be discussed. It seems that Turner came into the class late, after the question had been broached, or it would never have been started. When told to leave the class, Turner respectfully requested permission to remain, stating that regard for his feelings need be no more than as he considered his education far higher than any personal feelings in the matter. Prof. Parsons, however, thought differently about the matter and peremptorily ordered him from the class. Turner quietly left the room, stating that he thought that since he had paid his tuition, he should be allowed the full privileges of the college. The professor reminded him that he had some unfinished work, and said that he was dismissed from the class on that ground if no other. Students Rebel. As soon as the class was dismissed the entire male student body of the college held a sort of indignation meeting and resolved to attend no more of Prof. Parson's classes until the matter is satisfactorily settled with Mr. Turner and others. One of the college professors said that as yet nothing could be told about the matter but that it would be taken up after recitation hours and settled. Mr. Turner went immediately in search of President Church, after having been sent from the class, but that official is absent from the city. Prof. Knight, who is acting in the capacity of the president during the absence of Dr. Church, was busy with a class at the time of the incident and could render Mr. Turner no assistance. Among the whole student body, and especially among the men, the affair has created considerable feeling, which is greatly in Turner's favor. Another Civil Rights Case Won.

Galveston, Tex.-Judge Johnson has filed a damage suit against M. L. Cook, of Colorado county, Texas, and J. T. Cole, of Monroe, La., for $11,108 in the district court at Segin, Tex.

Editor Timothy Thomas Fortune "Called Down"—That Alleged $3,000 Subsidy May Be Causing "Hysterics" —Truth About the "Hayes" Reception—President Roosevelt. New York City.—In a recent communication to the Age, Rev. Charles S. Morris, one of our leading divines, said, among other things: "I gave him (Booker Washington) the best reception the race ever accorded him in New York. I gave it sincerely, honestly, but I regard his control of our press and in pernicious activity as short sighted and in the long run dangerous in the extreme, and I so stated in my speech and will state as opportunity offers. "The right to canvass public men and measures is a home-bred right, a fireside privilege," says Daniel Webster. The president, the congress, the senate, the governor, the mayor, all are freely criticised. What makes Mr. Washington's actions or utterances so sacred that he may not share the respectful criticism incident to public life? On what principle of free speech and fair play do you allow The Age to go into hysterics declaring men incendiary and crazy because in a perfectly calm and respectful way they take issue with Mr. Washington on great public questions that affect the welfare of the race with which both are identified?" To the editor of the daily Tribune of this city, Rev. Morris sent the following interesting and extremely pertinent communication: "Editor N. Y. Tribune: Sir.—There is scarcely an accurate statement in the newspaper reports of the Hayes reception at Mount Olivet Baptist church last Tuesday night. There was no riot; there were no hisses, no cries of 'Shame!' no one fainted. Mr. Hayes did not dream of objecting to my remarks. There was no committee appointed to secure a retraction of what I said, and I had no more thought of suggesting the blowing up of our beloved president or my race's great educator than I had of blowing up the throne of God. I am not accustomed to go half aocked. I prepared what I had in mind, I assured myself and mature convictions and I would not retract them in the presence of any pressure or power. What I said, in a nutshell, was this: "I honor and follow Mr. Washington as a great educator and the apostle of industrial development. A man who teaches a race how to turn stones into bread is a great benefactor, but when he undertakes to play the role of a politician, to dictate southern white appointments and northern Negro appointments; when he undertakes to tell the south how much of our political rights we will surrender, at least for a time, and to tone down our demand for full equality before law, as guaranteed by the great emancipation, we refuse to follow him, and say: "You must be a great educator, too great to try to become a great politician. Your business is to raise money for great institutions we all want to succeed. * * * A race needs more than one leader. It needs moral leaders in the pulpit. It needs industrial leaders in business. It needs leaders in education. It needs leaders before the bar of public opinion, fighting for the political rights of the race. For one man to attempt to do all these things is to do none of them well." I related the incident of the dinner at the White House, and, instead of saying what I was reported to have said, simply quoted what we body knows Congressman Hefflin said. He told me to comb under the table. The moral I drew from that: This Mr. Washington did not have political influence enough to keep his own congressman from making that murderous statement or from being triumphantly elected from the Tuskegee district after he had made it. I love Mr. Roosevelt with all the loyalty of my heart. Like Parker did for McKinley, I would gladly risk my life to save his. I spoke for him every night during the campaign. I said in my pulpit last Sunday I regarded his brave, patriotic, chivalrous in behalf of my race as the strongest of his generous and helpful utterance that I have the White House since Lincoln's second inaugural address. I brand the reports as false and utterly misleading. "CHARLES L. MORRIS, "Pastor At West, 104th st. church No. 240, West, 104th st. SHOT TO KILL.

AT LEAST 60 LIVES LOST Fire Followed the Explosion and Many of the Workers in the Factory Were Roasted to Death in the Ruins — Property Loss Is About $250,000. Brockton, Mass., March 22.—Fifty-five dead, 14 identified, 45 missing and 268 employees accounted for, is in brief the situation following Monday's factory catastrophe. Brockton, Mass., March 21.—This city is in mourning for at least three score of her citizens whose lives were blotted out Monday by the explosion of a boiler in a large shoe manufacturing establishment in the Campello district, conducted by the R. B. Grover Co. The explosion was immediately followed by a flash of flame which consumed the factory, a long four-story structure, as if it were a house of cards, and incinerated an unknown number of men and women who were unable to extricate themselves from a mass of tangled wreckage formed by the terrific upheaval in the boiler room. More than half a hundred of the employees in the building were malmed, burned or bruised by the time they reached safe ground. The fire extended from the factory to several other buildings in the vicinity, despite the damage that total financial loss is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars, $200,000 of which falls on the R. B. Grover Co. The monetary losses are nearly offset by insurance. It may never be known how many persons were in the factory. The number has been estimated at 400, but Treasurer Charles O. Emerson said last night he doubted whether there were so many at work. Two hundred bodies were for and at midnight last night the remains of 50 bodies had been recovered from the ruins. Fragments of human frames which possibly might belong to bodies other than those enumerated have also been found. Few of the remains have been identified. A crack in the lap seam of the boiler was responsible for the accident," said an expert engineer. New Scheme of Control. New York, March 22.—A plan for the general admission of the policyholders of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States to a share in the control of its affairs was adopted by the directors of the society yesterday.

Under the new plan seven of the 13 directors annually elected will be chosen by the policyholders and six by the stockholders. Seeks a Reconciliation with France. Seeks a Reconciliation with France. London, March 22—The Daily Chronicle claims to have authority of the German embassy at London for stating that Germany is anxious for a reconciliation with France and that Emperor William is desirous of getting on terms of closest friendship with the French government.

Cherokees to Get $4,500,000. Washington, March 21.—The case of the Cherokee nation of Indians and of individual Cherokee against the United States was decided yesterday by the court of claims.

On Tuesday night, April 4, a class of 30 will be initiated by Western Reserve Lodge, No. 42, K. P., in amplified form. All Pythians are invited to be present. All members of the lodge are requested to meet Sunday at 1 o'clock sharp at the hall, 354 Ontario street, for the purpose of attending Mt. Zion church in a body to hear the annual sermon; by order of the C. C. All members of the amplified team are requested to meet on Monday evening at J. J. Arnold's, 15 Mayflower street, with full costumes in readiness for the final rehearsal; by order of the chairman. Rev. R. L. Dickerson, pastor of Cory chapel, has been returned to that charge for a third year by his conference. He closed last year with a revival which added 80 new members. The Sunday school raised $126 and the combined efforts of all the departments netted $2,600. The new S. S. superintendent is F. W. Corbin. The assistant is J. W. Thomas. The names of 88 babies on the chapel are R. E. A. White, a former pastor of Cory chapel, is the new presidigler and will make his first visit in April. Rev. Simmons, the former P. E., is now stationed at Indianapolis. Mr. L. S. Jones, 604 Sterling avenue, has just completed a new double house of 12 rooms with a finished attic, in the rear of his home but fronting on Pine street. The two sides have three rooms each down stairs, parlor, sitting room and kitchen, pantries, etc.; and three bed rooms each with large closets on the second floor. There are spacious cellars and a parlor, double house in which and furnaces, wash tubs, coal bins, etc. There is hot and cold water, and gas, bath rooms and other modern conveniences. Everything is paid for and entirely creditable alike to Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Present indications point to the appointment· as stenographer in the sheriff's office of Alvin Sellers, whom Hon. Jere A. Brown brought out and backed for the place. Willie Clifford and the remnant of the Little Black Tammany were back of James Starkey. It seems that Henry "Aristides" Taylor, another candidate for a place, was "back-capped" by the Tammany and put out of the race early in the day. The Sellers appointment will be a good one if made and it is about time some places were being given to our people by the republican county officials. We ought to be represented by at least one appointment in each office. Our vote entitles.us to it. Rimes, the news, notion and cigar storekeeper near the corner of Sterling on Central avenue, who attained considerable notoriety about a year ago, as the result of kicking Jim Gray's little six year old motherless boy, has sold his business and moved to the south side. Mr. Gray, who was seriously injured in the Pennsylvania wreck on the 3d, while enroute to the inauguration, is slowly convalescing. Many of our people refused to patronize Rimes as the result of the incident referred to above, and doubtless caused his change of base. They simply did what all should have done and should do in such cases. All honor to those who stair out of Rimes' store since the Gray boy affair. A man by the name of Koler, who conducts a tailor shop at 163 Erie street, has the rental of a double house on Marlon street, a part of which has been vacated for some time. Mr. Wheeler, who conducts Bell's barber shop on Central avenue, near Sterling avenue, applied to him recently to rent the rooms and was refused them—he says—on the grounds, as Koler said, that the other tenants, of which there are several in the same yard, and the landlord, had reached an agreement which was in effect that no colored tenants were to be allowed on the premises. Mr. Wheeler says, that the German family, who occupies one half of the double house, stated plainly to him and his wife and daughter, that they had no objection to our people, or any one else as to co-tenants, which makes it clear that we are responsible for the discrimination is to be placed at Koler's door or the landlord's, if he is not the landlord. Those of our people who live in the vicinity of his tailor shop on Erie street, should know of Mr. Wheeler's experience and see that others of our people in that vicinity are also made acquainted with the facts. There is no use longer ignoring the fact that we have to "strike back" if we are ever to secure justice and fair treatment. Rah! for Rev. H. C. Bailey. Mr. Wheeler, who is employed in Bell's barber shop on Central avenue near Sterling avenue, told a representative of The Gazette recently that when he approached the saloonkeeper at the corner of Central avenue and Laurel street, to rent the vacant keeper's place, he pleaded the keeper's reply was: "The Brewing company will not permit me to rent the rooms to colored people." Those THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1905. of our people who patronize this saloonkeeper ought not to do so any more because he pays the money they spend with him to this very same brewing company as he purchases his beer from them. There are many who believe that the brewing company has never taken any such stand and that the saloonkeeper alone is to blame. Tell this to every man of the race who is seen entering that saloon. Directly across the street from him is a much nicer place of the same kind, conducted by Mr. Van Dusen, a member of the race. Therefore there can be no further excuse for patronizing such an individual as the one we have relied upon. We know that every one of our people in that vicinity may become familiar with these facts just as soon as possible, and it will not be long before that saloonkeeper will change his tactics or will have to do as Rimes has been compelled to do—move to another section of the city. The bulk of his trade is from Afro-Americans. Dr. Bailey Won His Case Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of Antioch church, secured on Monday a verdict in his case against Cole, the restaurant keeper. The suit has been pending for months but was finally reached and put on trial late last week in Judge Strimple's court room. It will be remembered that Rev. Bailey went into Cole's restaurant on Prospect street about a year ago and was asked to move from one table to another, and then a second time asked to move, when he refused, with the permission that he was refused service by the Fold. The Fold communication from Elder Bailey is self-explanatory and affords such further information of the case as the reader may desire: Editor H. C. Smith, Dear Friend: The case of mine against C. M. Cole, the restaurant keeper, was decided in my favor on Monday, by the jury. They were out about 25 minutes. Senator Clark put up a fine argument in behalf of the rights of the race or the rights of man. Senator Clark, I believe, is a staunch and true friend of the race. Of course the fine was the minimum penalty of your Ohio Civil Rights law—$50. I care not so much for the money, but the law has again been vindicated and justice upheld. Thanks to you for your introduction to Mr. Clark, as an attorney. Urge the Negro to be self-respecting, frugal and industrious and his rights will be accorded him provided he will fight for them. Let us fight when we are in the right. Your courage and your contention for right is why you have won my highest respect and esteem. Yours respectfully H. C. Bailey. The fine and costs in the Bailey-Cole case will total over $100. A costly refusal for that restaurant keeper, eh? The latter threatens to appeal the case. This will very materially increase the costs, and there is very little likelihood indeed of a reversal of verdict. The higher courts deal out justice oftener in such cases than common pleas courts because of the juries in the latter which are, as a rule, made up from the masses (of people) and contain members who are more or less prejudiced. Cole's notice to appeal is doubtless the usual "bluff." The wisdom of the editor of The Gazette's adding a minimum penalty to his Ohio Civil Rights bill when enacting it into law in the legislature in 1894, is nicely illustrated in this case. A verdict under the law for less than $50 or thirty days in jail cannot be secured when one wins a case. Drowned in Three Inches of Water. Cleveland, March 21.—Drowned in three inches of water the body of J. B. Hendricks, 128 Beechwood street, was found Monday near the Nickel Plate tracks at Wickliffe. Hendricks was conductor of a Nickel Plate freight. When the freight got to Euclid Monday Hendricks was missing. They backed up the train and found the body face-down in a shallow pool along the tracks. He had evidently fallen from the top of the train. Coroner Siegelstein found no injury that would cause death. He believes that the man was stunned by the fall and drowned as he lay face-down in water that did not wet his ears. Incorporations.

Mrs.J.H.Farmer Mrs.Ella Lee Ask Mrs. Pinkham's Advice-A Woman Best Understands A Woman's Ills. An eminent physician says that "Women are not truthful; they will lie to their physician." This statement should be qualified; women do tell the truth, but not the whole truth, to a male physician, but this is only in regard to those painful and troublesome disorders peculiar to their sex. There can be no more terrible ordal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions when those questions are asked, even by her family physician. This is especially the case with unmarried women. Is it any wonder, then, that women continue to suffer and that doctors fall to cure female diseases when they cannot get the proper information to work on? This is the reason why thousands and thousands of women are now corresponding with Mrs. Pinkham. To her they can and do give every symptom, so that she really knows more about her condition of many diseases, through her correspondence with them than the physician who personally questions them. If you suffer from any form of trouble peculiar to women, write at once to Mrs Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she will send you the fact that this great bacon, which is extended freely to women by Mrs Pinkham, is appreciated, the thousands of letters received by her prove. Many such grateful letters as the follo SEEDING IN PROGRESS IN WESTERN CANADA Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands of Settlers. The splendid yields of wheat, oats and barley produced by the farmers of Western Canada and the excellent prices received for the same, have been the means of giving an increased interest throughout the United States. As a result the inquiries made of the Agents of the Canadian Government have nearly doubled over those of the same period last year. Railroad companies are putting on increased carrying capacity to meet the demand made upon them for carrying passengers and freight. Everything points to a most prosperous year. There is room for hundreds of thousands additional settlers, much new land having been opened up for settlement this year. It is quite interesting to look through the letters received from the Americans who have settled in Western Canada during the past few years, and considering the large number it is surprising how few there are who have not succeeded. An extract from a letter written by Mr. Geo. M. Griswold, of Red Deer, Alta, formerly of Grever, Montana, written on the 2d of January, is as follows: "I am located one and one-half miles from a beautiful lake ten miles long, where there is church, school, three stores, cremery and two post offices. The fine stock, both cattle (cows and steers), horses, hogs and sheep are rolling fat, grazing in pasture to-day. just a little snow, hardly enough for good sleighing, as we just had a Chinook which has melted the roads and laid bare the fields and pasture. There are fine wheat, oats, barley and flax raised here, also winter wheat and timothy hay for export to British Columbia. This is a mixed farming and dairy country. This is the right time to get a foothold in the Canadian West, as it was some years ago in the United States. We are free from wind gumbo and alkali here and have fine, clear, soft well and spring water at a depth of from 5 to 25 feet, and lots of open ever flowing springs." Telegraphic advices from Medicine Hat say that seeding has commenced at Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, and other points. At the former place the temperature moderated gradually until on the 19th the maximum was 45 and the minimum 26. Thermometer readings since then have been as follows: 20th, 47 and 38; 21st, 54 and 34; 22d, 56 and 39; 23d, 48 and 40; 24th, 48 and 26. During the last few days in February considerable plowing was done near Lothbridge. P. A. Pulley, a recent arrival from Montana, plowed and harrowed 15 acres and E. Lallbury about the same amount. Rev. Coulter White has also been harrowing his farm. All report the ground frost free and in excellent condition. Bricklaying has also begun in town. At Hartney, further east, on the 25th of February the sun was warm and bright, wheeled carriages were in use and the plowed fields look as if they are ready for the press drills. There is every appearance that spring has arrived, but farmers do not wish to be deceived by appearances and consequently have not commenced to use their bluestone and seed wheat. New Erie Locomotives: The Erie Railroad has ordered 137 very heavy freight locomotives and 5600 freight cars. The company is also having built three of the new and fast type of passenger engines known as "balanced compounds." These locomotives will pull more passenger cars at a higher rate of speed than any other kind. The company is also having built three heavy Pacific type of passenger engines. Mrs. Ella Lee, Frankford, Ind., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: --- "I want to thank you for what your medicine has done for me. "Three years ago I had inflammation of the ovaries and ulcers on my womb. I was under the doctor's care for about three months, and one time I was not in pain was when under the doctor's care the doctor finally said I never would be better, would be an invalid the rest of my life. I had given up in despair, but one evening I came to write my advice and dishements and decided to write you for advice. I am mended to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I began to improve at once, and to-day I am a well woman, and I know it is all due to your advice and medicine. Mrs. J. H. Farmer of 2809 Elliott Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — I cannot thank you enough for what your advice has done for me. They have done me more good than all the doctors I ever had. For the last eight years I have suffered with nervous prostration, and could not work; but I am happy to say Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has made a perfect health and have gained in weight from 68 pounds to 122 pounds." No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has received such a central cure of female illness as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has many contacts to health. Address, Lynn, Mass.

For Six Months He Could Not Turn in Bed—He Tells of a Remedy Which Has Given Perfect Relief. The case of Mr. Marston shows that sciatica can be cured, and noone afflicted by it should allow himself to be disheartened. He was first stricken about a year ago, and for six months he suffered pain which he thinks the most intense that any man could possibly stand. Asked about the details of his remarkable recovery, Mr. Marston gave the following account: "I was attacked by a numbness or dull feeling just back of my right hip. I didn't know what the matter was, but thought it was simply a stiffness that would wear away in a short time. It didn't, however, and soon the pain became so very bad that every step was tortured for me. When I finally succeeded in getting home, it was just as much as I could to reach my room and get to bed. "The doctor was sent for, and when he had examined me he said I had sciatica. He prescribed for me, and advised me not to try to leave my bed. The advice was unnecessary for I couldn't get out of bed if I wanted to. It was impossible for me to turn from one side to the other. The moment I attempted to move any part of my body, the pain became so excruciating that I would have to lie perfectly motionless. "I suffered this torture for six months without getting any relief. Then I discharged the doctor, and on the advice of a friend I bought a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and began to take them, three at a dose, three times a day. I was determined to give them a thorough trial. "Two months after I began to use them I was able to leave my bed and walk about the house, and a month later I was entirely cured and able to go about my work as usual. I think Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best medicine I ever used, and I heartily recommend them to anyone who suffers from sciatica." Mr. Marston is a prosperous farmer and may be reached by mail addressed to Charles P. Marston, Hampton P. O., New Hampshire. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured other painful nervous disorders, such as neuralgia, partial paralysis and locomotor anxia. They are sold by all druggists. PATENTS 48-page book FREE BIGHEAT references FITTERGATE & CO. six Men Dead and Four Injured in the Rescue Dismaster at disaster at Princeton, Indiana. Princeton, Ind., March 23—Six miners dead and four injured, two fatally, is the result of an explosion in the mine of the Princeton Coal and Mining Co. Wednesday afternoon. Of the dead all but Dill were dead when found in the mine. Their bodies were rescued two hours after the explosion, the delay being caused by the inability of the rescuers to combat after damp. The five injured, including George Dill, who later died, were brought to the surface 30 minutes after the explosion. They were found heaped together in an unconscious state. When the explosion occurred of the miners had left the mine. Whether the explosion was a premature shot or an overcharge is not known. Within a short time after the explosion the wives and relatives of the miners surrounded the mouth of the shaft and anxiously awaited each ascension of the cage. The miners worked heroically and a number were overcome by the foul air which filled the mine. The explosion hurled supporting timbers in every direction. THE RIVERS ARE FALLING. Crest of the Flood Reached Wheeling Late Last Night. Wheelling, W. Va., March 23.—The river reached its maximum height here at 10 o'clock last night with 42 feet 7 inches on the gauge. It began falling shortly after 10 and at midnight the city was receding an inch an hour. The city is all but entirely isolated, only the Baltimore & Ohio being able to reach the east coast, West on the main line. Of the vast area trial establishments are idle for four days or longer, throwing 20,000 men out of employment and causing a wage loss of $150,000 to $250,000. Pittsburgh, March 23.—With both rivers receding, normal conditions, it is thought, will prevail within 48 hours. Much suffering is said to exist among the poor in the flooded section of Allegheny and the police were busy yesterday patrolling the district in skiffs, supplying the needy with coal, bread and provisions. One of the fea- tures of the flood is that severely felt in Pittsburgh before the week is out the butter and egg famine which it is bringing about. PEACE PARTY ENCOURAGED A Majority of the Czar's Advisers Believe that the War Should Cease. St. Petersburg, March 23.—The party within the government which is urging the emperor to indicate to Japan Russia's willingness to end the war if a reasonable basis can be reached, has been greatly encouraged the last few days and an actual pacific proposal may be just ahead. The subject has occupied much of the attention of the conferences at Tsarskoe-Selo. Gunshu Pass, March 23.—The Japanese appear to have given Russia a temporary respite from pursuit, probably for the sake of safety of the troops as they did after the pursuit of the Russians north from Jiao Yang. The Russian front runs southeast by northwest, with the Russian right much nearer the railroad than the left, while the Japanese position follows a line intersecting Kalyuan. Many Lives Were Endangered. New York, March 23—Many lives were endangered and damage to the extent of $50,000 was done by a fire in the nine-story Empire State building at Broadway and Bleeker streets yesterday. Scores of girls employed in the upper portion of the building were thrown into a panic when flames swept up from the seventh floor, where the fire started, and it was only by the greatest good fortune that used the crush which followed the rush down the stairways. The fire was confined to the three upper stories. The Hayes Faction Wins. Washington, March 22.—The long standing controversy between the Burns and Hayes factions of the Knights of Labor was decided yesterday by the court of appeals of the District of Columbia favorably to the latter. J. W. Hayes was elected general secretary of the order several years ago, but his right to the office was disputed by Simon Burns, who instituted a contest in the supreme court of the district. The decision there was favorable to Burns, but it was reversed by yesterday's verdict. Paid Fines for Peonage. Savannah, Ga., March 23—In the United States court yesterday William F. Crawley, an attorney of Waycross, and Thomas J. McClellan, a former sheriff of Ware county, entered pleas of guilt to the charge of causing cliffing, peonage, and peonage.
