THE GAZETTE. TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 38. THE FASHION OF THE EIGHTH CENTURY. ORGANDIE GOWN AND THEATER COAT. UCH little, little hats, and such charming ones, so dainty, round and chic. We noticed two young girls on the streets the other day, one in blue and the other in brown; the former had on a diminutive round turban of blue, the latter an exact copy, save the color was brown. The veils matched the hats. Which reminds us that we should speak of color. Hats need not match the costumes this year (though they may), but veils should match hats. The colors of the year that are "the thing" are green, Parsifal blue and different shades of brown. Brown continues much in favor, and this morning as we passed the window of perhaps the oracle in fashions for women we saw, among many elegant things, a dress pattern of warm brown rough pongee, the girdle soft liberty satin ribbon, shading from golden brown to deep rose, with golden and amber ornamentation here and there. It was exquisite, the colors lovely in themselves, the materials very rich. It was on the small until after Easter do forth in any abundant charming head cover streets so far have no Flower hats are visrs windows, those of cally pretty. It is s hats, those shiny the occasionally—for our course; some in black red. Ribbons, ribbons, r not had for years, trimmed with ribbon sashes made of then shop keepers have bres suspender sets. By spoken at due length dresses? If not, the and the subject must treated. Why do milliners' drape their mirrors stuffs? So the ones may see their faces colored glasses. Be ciding on the new ha Most of the imported Parisian models show skirts of almost absolute plainness, but American makers are displaying for dressy wear those more or less elaborately trimmed. Our illustration pictures a couple of new designs that are summery and pretty. As one fashion authority in the east says: "Every variety of cut distinguishes the new skirts offered so far, and if some are trimmed to the highest notch, others are as plain as riding hats. With bodices it is the same thing. The garment of modish models runs all the way from the tiniest boiler to tall coats of redingote length." A kindly fashion, surely, for those of us that have left-overs. To return to hats. The flowers that at present adorn the best hats are very small. We looked at an extremely good one recently, whose foundation was black, but which was so much adorned with the tiniest of forget-me-nots as to seem quite as much pale blue as black. Fashions for the Small Folk BOYS are easily provided for; the mother can go to the shops and buy ready-made at a moderate price master's entire wardrobe. This season there is not noticeable much change in styles for him, the long Russian blouse and knickers still the approved costume. Rough blue and red serge and light-weight tweeds are the materials used, and the shop keepers give with each suit a large piece of cloth, for of course are long each small youngster's trousers will need a patch. Collars for sailor suits are smaller, except for the regular man-of-war kind. Some mothers think this outfit more picturesque for the small boy and cling to it; the long trousers, baggy blouse, tar's hat and tie. The girl's wardrobe takes more time and trouble—and more money. And yet she can be dressed prettily at a moderate cost. Last year's styles for her are but little changed this year; the suspender dresses will be worn as much, if not more, with light shirt waists or guipms underneath will be very much the thing this summer. The Russian blouse suits also remain in vogue, coats both short and long will be worn. For school wear the one-piece suit is preferable, the skirt made with box plaits, the waist plaited in, the same manner, the belt low down. Materials used are the small-checked wools of light weight, and wash goods of much variety. All through the summer suspender suits of serge and of linen will be worn. For dressy wear pretty and inexpensive frocks may be made of challies, which allows of simple or fancy handling. Hats have wide brims and are trimmed with ribbon, which stands gough well wear, much exposure to sun. Little children will appear in elaborate bonnets and "mush caps" of pictureque mode. The washable hats probably will bedek the heads of small femininity this summer, and they are so fresh and dainty, it is to be hoped the fashion will be generally adopted. S B It was on the small turban order. Not until after Easter do chapeaus blossom forth in any abundance, and the really charming head coverings seen on the streets so far have not been numerous. Flower hats are visible in the milliners' windows, those or baby roses especially pretty. It is said that tarpaulin hats, those shiny things, will be worn occasionally—for outing purposes, of course; some in black, some a bright red. Ribbons, ribbons, ribbons, as we have not had for years. Hats are lavishly trimmed with ribbons, girdles and big sashes made of them, and lately the shop keepers have brought forth ribbon suspender sets. By the way, have we spoken at due length of the suspender dresses? If not, that is an oversight, and the subject must presently be treated. Why do milliners and beauty doctors drape their mirrors with rose-colored stuffs? So the ones that look therein may see their faces as through rose-colored glasses. Before definitely deciding on the new hat, better try it on at home in your own unadorned looking-glass. And yet the milliners say in defense that they do not follow the custom of the grocers, who put red net over green peaches; they declare that a mirror, even the best, giving back so much light as is reflected, adds years to one's age. Still, select your hat carefully. To suggest what beautiful combinations the milliners across the water are sending over, I am tempted to describe a hat in detail. It is of nut-brown manila straw, a tilted-over-the-face model, with a big bandeaux at the back, trimmed profusely with brown ribbon rosettes. About the brim and nesting in brown tulle are the loveliest velvet roses in any number of shades, certainly more than a dozen—very dark brown, palest mauve, touches of old rose, a suggestion of purple. Around the nearly square crown is a band of velvet, shading from a brown to purple. FROCK FOR YOUNG. MISS. Our design, suitable for a young mlsr, shows a charming frock made of wash silk. The skirt has a yoke matching that of the waist. The trimming used is a narrow fat braid, but individual taste may decide this matter. Mrs. Trout—Any guess? Mrs. Bass—Yes.

One Year. $1.50 Nix Months. 1.00 Three Months. 5.00 Subscribers are requested to remit by post- office money order or registered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio as second-class matter. CHAMBER OF COMMONS COUNCIL 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. Editor Trotter, of The Guardian, and his committee of Afro-American citizens of Boston are to be thanked for the stinging rebuke they administered to one Poultney Bigelow for his gratuitous insults to the race in recent lectures before the law class of Boston university. It was certainly not ignorance on Bigelow's part but malicious racial prejudice, pure and simple. MAGNATES IN WEALTH. We are proud to be able to enumerate the growing wealth of Afro-Americans and it is quite possible for not a few to count well up into the thousands. New York, Pennsylvania, California, Maryland, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, Virginia, other states and the District of Columbia number Afro-Americans with their quarter of a million each and it is a matter of congratulation that we have these evidences of our material growth and prosperity. But we still are a poor and humble people contending rather for liberty, right and justice, making these the cardinal ends of our living. Yet it is remarkable to witness the astounding figures brought out by Wall street men as the following shows: John D. Rockefeller, $500,000,000; Andrew Carnegie, $100,000,000; W. K. Vernerbilt, $125,000,000; John J. Astor, $125,000,000; William J. Aston, $100,000,000; Geo. J. Gould, $100,000,000; Marshall Field, $100,000,000; Wm. A. Clark, $100,000,000; J. P. Morgan, $50,000,000; D. O. Mills, $75,000,000; H. C. Frick, $60,000,000; A. M. Flagger, $75,000,000; Henry Havemeyer, $60,000,000; Clause Spreckles, $50,000,000; Russell Sage, $50,000,000; E. H. Herriman, $50,000,000; J. J. Hill, $50,000,000; J. O. Armour, $50,000,000; A. G. Vanderbilt, $50,000,000; J. H. Schiff, $50,000,000. This total wealth of 20 men shows two per cent. above the total wealth of the nation or two billion of dollars. What does the above indicate? Twenty business men have exceeded in wealth, the wealth of the nation. Are we to believe that there is a decadence in true, genuine Christian religion and that the American mind is tending toward mercenary gain? It indeed seems to be manifest and proof is quite abundant that the religious and secular world are seriously mixed. Money getting has become the rage among all classes, and we need not wonder at this immense accumulation of wealth among individuals. That the Christian religion is compromised, cannot be denied. Not by a few individuals, but by the people, a professed religious church going people, who seem almost forgetful of their first obligation to God and to the great principles proclaimed from the Mount by our Savior. But the American people are great! Great in knowledge, great in resources and great in wealth. We mean no impeachment to our multi-millionaires, nor do we question the integrity of their motives in acquiring immense wealth. Their gains have far exceeded their needs. Let them distribute of their means where it may best subserve the greatest good for the greatest number. Such an example might do much in the way of resuscitating the flame of true, Christian piety and bringing mankind to a quickening sense of its relation to the brotherhood of man. Then let the races move on to the acquisition of all things good and helpful for the uplift of the poor and the oppressed of humanity in every land and country. LIBERTY IN AMERICA AND ENGLAND. The opinion is dominant almost everywhere in Christiandom and very especially among Americans that our republican institutions are exceptionally the most humane and the best. Indeed they should be, from the fact that we certainly have the best, the freest and the most liberal form of government on the globe. That there should be any opinion at variance with this received idea remains to be accounted for. We will not say that Americans have retrograded, but it must be conceded that there is a feeling of apathy and indifference that is gradually growing upon the people in regard to the true stability of government. The spirit of social and religious caste has led the people into an absolute forgetfulness as to the real and vital essentials of true government. The idea of liberty and independence has perverted the intentions of the fathers and of the constitution, and coupled with that of a white man supremacy, has instigated a growing feeling of encroachment upon the oppressed black man and the poor white man. This spirit of encroachment has deepened and widened, until a bold and unwarranted feeling of discrimination has possessed the American mind. Some things have become, as a matter of course and upon the mere presumption, it is agreed that the weak must give away to the strong, and the poor must yield to the rich. The infusion of such a feeling is felt in all the ramifications of the government. Such is the condition of affairs in America. But an attache of the British legation in Washington sees things very different in England. He is quoted as saying, "we have far less regard for personal liberty in this country than in Great Britain." We vaunt of our glorious freedom, we tell of the grand old flag, proud emblem of our country's greatness. But men's personal rights are more jealously guarded and more sacredly maintained there than in this country. Equality before the law is a living reality and men have no reason to cavil as to their just claims in England. The high and the low, the rich and the poor are called into the courts upon equal terms having no fears, while innocent, that they will not get justice done them. The law is administered even-handed to all alike. English law do not acquire rich murders or white murderers for killing innocent black men. English policemen do not club helpless black men when held as prisoners. There the law does not bind the weak and free the strong. Here we have a compound of law and license, of appeal and defiance which reminds us that we are not a free people, that we are not loyal to the foundation principles of our government and that our methods and practices are not carried out in conformity to what we profess. We are not a free people, we are not par excellent with powers less pretentious and we cannot be until our government shall exemplify in truth and according to the letter the real character and principles incorporated in the fundamental law of the land. Law is the only true guardian and protector of liberty. It is the soul of a nation and when we break the law, the government goes down. People are not free where life is not protected, and the sacrifice of a single life contrary to law is an assault upon the nation. No man is free where life is endangered and where license is taken to shoot and lynch and is more regarded than the right of a fair trial by jury and to the law's protection from mob violence and misrule. DOINGS OF THE RACE. Mrs. Ida De Priest holds a clerkship in the Colorado secretary of state's office, and most creditably, too. Rev. Allen Allsworth retired from an army chaplainship April 9 with the rank of major and $3,000 pension per year, and possibly a higher rank and more money. George Johnson of Seattle, Wash., was awarded $25 damages against Smart & Gaffney, proprietors of the Cecell cafel, for having been refused a meal because of his color. Good! The news comes from Washington that James H. Hayes, of Virginia, has been appointed consul to Guadeloupe the principal island of the French West Indies. The salary and fees are said to amount to $3,000 a year. In a recent issue the Washington (D. C.) Bee asserts that "everyone claiming acquaintance with race affairs" knows the five Afro-American newspapers—which benefited by that $3,000 of hush money." More truth than poetry in this, too. Those contemptible books "The Clansman" and "The Leopard's Spots" by Tom Dixon, an alleged minister (southern), are to be dramatized. They are the most vicious attacks on the race. We do not believe the "drama" will "take," even in the south. Mr. Joshua Parker, who died recently at Dover, was the wealthiest Afro-American in lower Delaware, being worth at least $10,000. His estate is willed to the Delaware State College for Colored Students, with the proviso that his heir is to have certain benefits during her lifetime. John W. E. Bowen, Jr., son of Dr. Bowen, the talented editor of the magazine "Volunteer of the Negro" has $100 scholarship in the Philadelphia Exeter academy, New Hampshire, for high standing in class work and for excellence in character. Bowen is 15 years old and has been in the junior class for just three months. Trinity and Annapolis colleges have drawn the color line and canceled baseball games with Harvard, because Matthews, the little shortstop of the "varsity" nine, is accompanying the crimson team on the southern trip. This action by the U. S. naval academy is especially surprising, in view of President Roosevelt's friendly feeling toward the race. A Porto Bican Leaves Co A Porto Rican Leaves College. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.—C. V. Daniels, a student at the Eastman business college for whose removal 160 sou- thern students petitioned President Gaines, alleging that he has Negro blood in his veins, withdrew from the main college in this city. President Gaines accompanied him to New York to install him in the Harlem branch of the Eastman college. Dr. Gaines, who was born in Virginia, addressed the school and accused those who signed the petition of taking a narrow minded action. Daniels comes from St. Thomas and is 17 years old. He says his father is English and his mother a Porto Rican. Graduates at 73 Years of Age New Haven, Conn.—Jane Evans, aged 73 years, was graduated from the elementary grade of the Hillhouse evening school recently with honors. She is an ex-slave, liberated by Lincoln's proclamation. She came north and has resided at 99 Webster street for years. School Left $38,000 New York City.—The largest bequest ever made by an Afro-American to Tuskegee, Ala., institute was recorded here on the 14th when the will of Mary E. Shaw, of Philadelphia, was probated. It bequeathed $8,000. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1905. THE FIGHT IN THE EQUITABLE THE FIGHT IN THE EQUITABLE Resolutions Endorsing President Alex ander Adopted at a Meeting of Society's Managing Agents. THEY FAVOR MUTUALIZATION The State Senate in Session at Albany Listened to a Speech by Senator Brackett in Which He At-tacks the Equitable Society's Officers. New York, April 19.—After a session yesterday at the Hotel Savoy lasting for nearly six hours, the 200 managing agents of t Equitable Life Assurance Society from all over the United States adopted resolutions asking the New York legislature to "exercise its plenary power by enacting an amendment to the charter;" this amendment to give the policy-holders admission to the directorate of the society. Several sets of resolutions were adopted. President Alexander made a brief speech. Vice President Hyde followed him and referred to the sale by Vice President Tarbell of the latter's interest in the renewal account to the company, which brought forth a sharp retort from Mr. Tarbell. Then all three officers left the meeting and the agents devoted their time to discussion behind closed doors. The first set of resolutions declared that the agents pledged their "unqualified support" to President Alexander and expressed their "entire confidence that the president will finish the work of mutualization that he has so courteously agreed." The Frick committee of investigation was commended in another resolution. Albany, N. Y., April 19—An all day debate in the senate characterized by charges against the management of the Equitable Life Assurance Society and the return of Superintendent of Insurance Hendricks, who for the first time since the Equitable investigation began talked on that topic with anything approaching freedom, brought the affairs of that corporation into sensational notice Tuesday. The subject came before the senate in the form of a resolution introduced by Senator Brackett to take from the insurance committee his bill to facilitate policyholders' suits for accountings. Being unable to get a favorable report on this measure, Senator Brackett had a chance to vote his views by putting in this resolution and having it made a special order of debate. The resolution was defeated. Brackett in his speech attacked the management of the Equitable in scathing terms. THEY IGNORE THE LAW. Railway Managers Form Combines to Fix Rates. Washington, April 19. —Victor Morawetz, of New York, opened the hearing before the senate committee on inter.state commerce yesterday. He is chairman of the executive committee and general counsel for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. He made a statement regarding the mileage, stock, bonds and employees of the railroad. He said it was a fair estimate that 450,000 people would be interested in any legislation affecting the road. Mr. Morawetz said that carriers now get together and discuss rates. "It might be called a combination," he said, "among the railroad men." "That is in violation of the law," remarked Chairman Elkins. "Yes," replied Mr. Morawetz. "They violate the law every day," remarked Senator Elkins. "Chaos would ensue if they did not," replied Mr. Morawetz. BROKE UP IN A ROW. A Convention to Nominate a Candidate for Congress Ended in Riot. Rockport, Ind., April 19.—The republican nominating convention to select a candidate for congress to succeed United States Senator James A. Hemenway, former representative from the First district, adjourned Tuesday in a state of riot without agreeing upon a candidate. Chairman Durre's gavel was snatched from him, furniture was broken and missiles were thrown. The supporters of John W. Brady, of Princeton, who secured possession of the chairman's gavel, declared the convention adjourned to meet at Princeton next Saturday, while supporters of George A. Cunningham, of Evansville, the opposing candidate, declared the convention adjourned to meet at Evansville on Saturday. Russians Cut the Cable. London, April 19.—The Daily Mall's correspondent at Singapore learns that Russian agents have cut the cable between Foo Chow and Formosa. A dispatch to the Daily Mall dated Manila, April 18, says: "This morning 16 Japanese cruisers and torpedo boat deliveries were scouring off Sampalo Point." Nan Patterson's Third Trial Beginss New York, April 19. The third trial of Nan Patterson, charged with the murder of Caesar Young, in this city last summer, was begun yesterday in the court of general sessions before Recorder Goff. There were 200 talesmen in court for selection in the special panel. is Re-elected Senator Jacksonville, Fla., April 18—Senator James P. Tallferro was formally re-elected to the United States senate to joint assembly of the Florida legislature. Five Dead. Three Dying. New York, April 19.—Five children dead and three dying is the record of the ravages of cerebro-spinal meningitis in a tenement on West Twelfth street. These victims belong to the family of Darder and Mrs. James Frawley. Gas Buoy Exploded. Kington, Ont., April 19.—A gas buoy in process of filling on board the government steamer Scout exploded yesterday, killing one and injuring four of her crew. Two of the injured probably will die. OVERALLS ON RACE HORSES Protection for Their Legs After the Veterinary Surgeon Has Burned Tendons. Physical culture, systematically applied, having made it possible to clip seconds from record performances by human athletes, horsemen have determined to apply the same methods to the litle-limbed racers of the turf. It has been demonstrated, states the New York Tribune, that the speed of a racehorse can be increased by the systematic manipulation of the muscles that do the work when the animal is bounding toward the finishing point, carrying with him the hopes and fears of countless backers. It is now part of the duty of the trainer of a racehorse to flex the muscles and tendons of the thoroughbreds under his care. This is partly by manipulating with the hand or massaging the muscles of the horses exactly as the muscles of a human being are massaged to make them flexible and springy. Huge sums frequently depend upon a fraction of a second of speed and the horse whose muscles have been carefully massaged prior to a race goes to the post with a decided advantage over the animal which is just as fast in every respect, save the additional life in the tendons provided by the energetic work of the horse masseur. When the king of the turf is retired to the stable for the off period of racing he is now kept in thorough condition by daily massage treatment, all the tendons and muscles that are used during his performance on the track being carefully rubbed and knended to keep them flexible. If the tendons show signs of being the worse for wear, and it must be remembered that the strain on the tendons of a horse as he pounds down the ractetrack at top speed is enormous, then extreme measures are resorted to to restore them to their pristine flexibility. The up-to-date stable is provided with tools especially made to burn the tendons of a horse that has gone stale. An electric machine is used for this purpose, the iron being applied to the tendons by the skilled hand of the stableman and the stiffness literally burned out of the worn tendons. There are veterinary surgeons who make a regular business of treating racehorses by the physical culture method. In the stables of these men are to be found some of the finest horses on the turf. There have gone stale, and, the secret being carefully guarded, are under treatment by massage and burning for restoration to their former speedy condition. After the tendons have been burned it is necessary to keep the horse quiet and prevent files from irritating him. The simple method of protecting the animal's legs is to encase them in a pair of overalls. Sorry indeed is the appearance of the proud king of the turf when he is returned to his stall after electric treatment, with his forelegs, and sometimes his hind legs as well, covered with overalls. THE CZAR'S LITTLE GIRLS. The little Russian princesses do not quite bear out the prevailing impression that all the children of monarcis are necessarily paragons of perfection or little prudes. These small girls are children, warm hearted, mischievous, high spirited, free of speech, unfettered of action, and possessed of a full appreciation of their own exalted rank, says the Chicago Tribune. Fair haired, blue eyed Grand Duchess Olga has often been known to stop her little pony carriage in the parks of Peterhoff, to call to order some passer-by who had failed to accord her the attention she considered due to an emperor's daughter. One day last summer, when the court was still at Petroff, the four little duchesses were playing on the beach in front of the Alexandrine palace, when they saw a young officer who was engrossed in supervising a group of sailors executing a difficult piece of work. The men on perceiving the children's approach, suspended their labor, and, standing at attention, rendered them the full military honors that were their死. This amused the nittle girls to such an extent that they instantly abandoned their games to strut demurely up and down in front of the workers, who were thus compelled to neglect their labor and salute each time they passed. This went on for some time, until the officer began to lose patience. Observing that the little girls meant to continue the game indefinitely he quietly ordered the men to go on with their work and take no further notice of them. To the Grand Duchess Olga's amazement then, no one moved to acknowledge her presence a moment later when she came tripping along the path. She gazed first at the officer, then at the sailors, as if at a loss whom to hold responsible for this gross act of contempt to her imperial person. Then, stamping her small foot, she cried: "Salute at once, or I'll tell papa!" Exploit with a Whale. Two fishermen of Freemantle, Western Australia, named William Fraser and Thomas August, recently met with a sensational experience while sailing 17 miles off Dongarra at night. Fraser was lying asleep and August was running the boat under full sail. Suddenly the little craft came in contact with a whale, and the latter, becoming enraged, turned on the boat, and eventually sank it, leaving the two men and several spars, masts, and oars floating about in the water. Fraser was unable to swim, but August, who is a good swimmer, collected the floating timber and constructed a raft, on which he placed his companion. August then swam behind the raft and pushed it over the stretch of 17 miles to land, which was reached by 3 o'clock next afternoon. During the time on the raft the men had neither food nor water, and there are sharks in the region—London Globe. Utilizing a By-Product Kentucky is now making "maple" sugar out of corn cobs, presumably used to sweeten that other product of the corn—Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Interment at Woodland cemetery. J. A. Rogers, funeral director. Clarence Brown, jr., writes his father, Mr. J. C. Brown, and sister, Miss Borese, very interestingly from Florence, Italy. "Sonny" has been abroad, for some weeks this time and was "across the water" with his employer last year, also. The Protective league's reception in Woodliff hall on the 14th for Madam Egbert and Miss Dayse Walker, of Indianapolis, was not a financial success. Volunteer assessments upon some of the promoters of the affair were necessary, it is said. The ladies have returned home. J. A. Sterrett has opened fine club rooms at 470 Central avenue, and named them "The Herculean." The formal opening will be held this (Saturday) evening and promises to be something out of the ordinary. Mr. Sterret has disposed of his pool-room in Woodliff block. We wish him every success. All members of Red Cross commandery, No. 7, K. T., are hereby requested to appear at the asylum of Ezekiel commandery, No. 3, K. T., at 182 Ontario street, at 1 o'clock (sharp) Sunday in full regulation—white gloves, with outside arms.

Sunday evening. Many thanks. Chas. Sparks, a plasterer, locked up in his home at 64 Allen street, is said to have prayed so loudly and continuously for two days that he startled his neighbors. Saturday a policeman entered the house and took Sparks in custody on a lunacy charge. Two days afterward in court, he attributed his condition to too much gin. He was discharged. If Eubanks has no other opposition in the shape of race candidates for the republican legislative nomination than Tom Fleming and Officer Charley Smith's friend (?) Chas. Gordon, then he is as good as renominated now. Ask Smith or "Lewie" Dean what Gordon some years ago said he and the little black Tammym would make him (Smith) do. They didn't do it, either did they, Charley? Thanks to the Gazette. When Homer Akins and his wife, of 351 Broadway, were arrested and placed in the county jail, charged with cutting to wound, they had no provision for their six year old daughter. The child was taken from the home by neighbors, and to juvenile court. Birds Bushnell decided that the child should remain with her mother in the jail, but both were finally liberated on the mother's promise to come to court when the trial begins. Hon. Wm. R. Stewart, of Youngtown, was in the city Monday, having legal business in the United States court. He is a very promising candidate for the republican nomination for probate judge of Mahoning county, and we hope to see him triumphantly nominated at the primaries early next month. The "Popular Vote" plan of nominating is invogue there. Mr. Stewart and the editor of The Gazette were entertained at dinner on Monday by Mr. Jas. R. Snyder. Dr. J. E. Hunter, of Lexington, Ky., a graduate of Western Reserve Medical college, this city, has the distinction of having performed the most difficult and skilful piece of surgery ever attempted in his section. The case was that of a wealthy farmer, Anderson Sellers, of Jessamine county, Ky., who had suffered for years from an internal affliction which could only be removed by the use of the knife. The cure required the performance of two distinct operations the first being necessary to make the other possible. Mr. Sellers has completely recovered. Easter services at St. Andrew's Episcopal mission as follows: Early celebration at 7 a. m., morning prayer and Holy Eucharist at 10:30, afternoon service, baptism and preaching at 3:30 p. m. Palm Sunday was a "red letter" day for St. Andrew's. Palms were blessed and given to the people at the morning service. Last Wednesday a large congregation welcomed Bishop Leonard, who confirmed a class of seven. They were Mr. Joseph Smith, Joseph Smith, Jr., Harry Todd, Harry Letcher, Karl Todd, Belle Nickens and Orah Barton. Belle Nickens won the book prize for learning the catechism of the church perfectly. Rev. Edward S. Doan preached a Lenten sermon at St. Paul's church, East Cleveland, Tuesday evening. The Onward Foraker club held its second meeting since reorganization last week Friday evening in Justice Brenner's spacious offices in the Blackstone building, corner Seneca and Frankfort streets. Beside stirring addresses by Geo. W. Johnson and Hon. H. C. Smith, routine business was transacted which will make the club's next meeting the most important and interesting held to that date. This is the political organization that does not have to offer "music and refreshments" to secure an attendance. Nor does it accept anybody and everybody as members. It occupies a higher plane although a political organization, and prides itself in its membership. Exceptional care is exercised in this respect. The next meeting of the club will be held on Tuesday evening, May 2. The People's band and orchestra of Columbus, which will give a concert and ball at the Grays' armory on Easter Monday, is one of our best organizations and comes to us with such recommendations. You will certainly enjoy a rare treat in hearing this wonderful band and in dancing "after" their fine orchestra. This is the band that has played for the last five years at the great Afro-American state fair held annually at Lexington, Ky., and was the official band at the Ohio state fair, Columbus. It has played in public park concerts for the last three years, and when we say they are first-class we mean it. The People's band claims to be the best band of the race and stands ready to defend the claim at all times against any similar race organization in America. Their concert and ball will prove a grant treat for all who love good music and wish to enjoy an evening in dancing. Edwyn A. Elsner's appointment to a position in the sheriff's office was secured for him by local white republicans. Neither Henry Taylor, who was one of the Alvin Sellers' supporters, nor Tom Fleming, nor "The Grafters," had any more weight with the sheriff than a straw in the middle of the Mansfield district in the many Mansfield, Clifford, Gordon, conference in Sellers' interests at the Hollendine house-barber shop. Sellers and Hon. Jere A. Brown vouch for this. It was the little black Tammany that attacked Taylor in a cowardly manner as it has done before and again "put him out of the running." In spite of this, however, he was weak enough to enter the conference. The Gazette has no interest in the matter except that the truth be known. It is news and that is what our patrons want. The "Twelfth Ward Republican club," better known as "The Grafters," and "Colored Citizens Protective League" had the same weight with the sheriff as had the little black Tammany and Hon. Jere A. Brown, whom Mr. Mulholland, the person for the place and whom he (the sheriff) proceeded straight to the "turn down" after he had done as requested, and reinforced his selection with the support of the leaders of the little black Tammany. Elsner owes his appointment to certain local white republicans whom we can name, and to them only. County Officials Drew Illegal Fees. Columbus, O. April 20—According to the finding of State Examiner John A. Bliss, who filed his report with Auditor of State Gulibert Wednesday, Sheriff Johnson, of Columbiana county, drew $3,525 in illegal fees from September, 1903, to January, 1905; the other officers of the county drew in family and all illegal amounts, and the county commissioners made improper allowances, so that the total of excessive fees and expenditures was $8,777. Probate Judge Martin and Deputy Surveyor Farmer have refunded the amounts charged against them. Appointment Causes Friction. Columbus, O., April 18.—The appointment of Dr. Powers, of Cleveland, as a member of the state medical board has caused considerable friction among the other members and there is some talk that some resignations may follow unless the governor reconsider the appointment of Dr. Powers. Powers appears to the physio-medical school of medicine. He was a former member of the board. Was Arrested at Prison's Gate. Was Arrested at Prison's Gate. Columbus, O., April 19—Anna Wilson, alias Myrtle Hamburg, one of the clearest female thieves in the penitentiary, and at the penitentiary gates Tuesday on expiration of a Dayton, O., sentence, and is being held for the Chicago police.

Herrick has honored a request by the governor of Indiana for the return from Columbus to Indianapolis of Charles Brandingham, wanted on a charge of embezzling funds from the Polk Milk Co. Detective Lancaster took Brandingham forthwith. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, A RIL 22, 1905. How It Came About. We often wondered how it was that our friend, Hon. H. C. Smith, of The Gazette, could afford to carry around so much avoidupos on the ordinary diet of the editor of a weekly paper, but the "cat is out of the bag" at last. That picture in The Gazette some weeks ago tells the whole tale and we are free to admit that the elegant manner in which Editor Smith was entertained by his hosts is a source of envy to us.—Detroit Informer. Was Struck by a Train. Columbus, O., April 18.—George Weisgump, aged 30, whose home is at Athens, may not recover at St. Francis hospital from injuries received by being struck by a Pan-Handle freight train.

Bright's Disease has always been considered incurable, but evidently from the time he was cared for a remedy which would cure it even in advanced stages. This is what he says: "I was helpless as a little babe. My wife insisted that I should try Dodd's disease, we could treat him with Bright's Disease, hoping that I would be able to find a remedy. After many failures my wife insisted that I should try Dodd's disease, we could treat him when I decided to do so, for this remedy met my phase of my case and in a short time I was able to get out of bed, and after few weeks' treatment I was sent to a man, Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my life." A remedy that will cure Bright's Disease will cure any Kidney Disease. The most wonderful discovery which modern medical research has given to the world.

Mr. Jones Tells the Way by Which He Treated Himself Successfully When Doctors Failed. Six physicians, all of them good, one of them a specialist, had done their best for Mr. Jones at different times during three years, and still he suffered fearfully from the tortures of rheumatism. The rheumatism that had been dormant in his system was suddenly brought to an acute stage by exposure while he was drawing ice in February, 1901. From that time on for a period of more than three years he was a constant sufferer. He tried many kinds of treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't bud. When regular doctors failed, he was treated with unsuspecting, many said: "I should think he would give it up and save his money." Of his condition at this time, Mr. Jones says: "My rheumatism started in my right thigh, but in time it appeared in every muscle of my body. I lost the use of my left arm entirely and nearly lost the use of my right one. My feet were badly affected, especially the bottoms of the heels. When my right side was affected there was swelling, but the left side didn't swell when the disease settled there. The internal organs didn't seem to be involved at all. The trouble was all in the muscles and the nerves." Among the few who still encouraged Mr. Jones to think that a cure might yet be found was a friend who had reason for great confidence in Dr. Williams' Pink Pins, and acting on her advice he bought a box of them in September, 1904. The story of what followed is brief, but nothing could be more satisfactory. "When I was on the third box," say Mr. Jones, "I could realize a change for the better. I felt sure then that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were the right medicine for my case. I kept on with them for several weeks longer and now I am entirely well, and everybody is asking what I took." Mr. William Jones lives at Oxford, Mich. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills effect wonderful cures in rheumatism, because they work directly on the blood which is the seat of the disease. They are sold by every druggist. and ever increasing popularity?

Miss Patterson is to again face a jury composed almost entirely of married men, only two of the accepted panel of 12 being single, one a bachelor, the other a widower. Most of the jurymen are men of middle age and beyond. Many of them have large families, some grown daughters who are married. It was announced last night that the defendant will take the stand again during the present trial and tell her story of how Young met his death in the hansom cab last June as he was driving to the steamship pier to join his wife on a trip to Europe. It is also said that Miss Patterson is anxious that her sister, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, should become a witness for the defense, although it has not been determined as yet either by the prosecution or the lawyers just what position she will take. When the last juror had taken his place in the box, Recorder Goff turned to the 12 men and delivered the customary warning not to discuss the case or to allow it to be discussed in their hearing. He then adjourned the court. Miss Patterson had a little chat with her father and was then led back to her cell in the Tombs. Her counsel declares the girl is well pleased with the jury. Throughout the day she evinced the keenest interest in the examination of the talesm, listening intently as one after another declared he had formed or expressed an opinion as to her guilt or innocence and that nothing adduced at the trial could alter that opinion. Assistant District Attorney Gans told Justice Gaynor in the New York state supreme court in Flushing yesterday that it would defeat the ends of justice and reveal to the defense the resources of the prosecution in the trial of Nan Patterson if District Attorney Jerome were compelled to surrender the letters and documents taken from Mrs. J. Morgan Smith when she was arrested in the trial of Nan Patterson. One for the Smith asked for an order for the surrender of the papers and Justice Gaynor suggested that they be given to the clerk of the court so that both sides could have access to them, but Mr. Gans objected. The court then reserved decision. THE TRIAL OF HOCH BEGINS Notorious Bigamist Pleads Not Guilty When Arraigned in Court at Chicago. Chicago, April 20—Johann Hoch, self-confessant bigamist, was placed on trial in the criminal court Wednesday for the murder of Mrs. Marie Walcker Hoch, one of his wives. Mrs. Amelia Fisher Hoch, the defendant's last wife and sister of Mrs. Marie Walcker Hoch, will be one of the principal witnesses for the state. Mrs. Fisher Hoch declares she saw Hoch give some white powders to her sister just before the sister's death. The prosecution, in order to make it possible for a wife to testify against her husband, will offer evidence that Mrs. Fisher Hoch was not Hoch's legal wife at the time. It is expected that four or five days will be occupied in selecting a jury and the trial will be held on another week. Hoch, it is said, has formed no definite plan of defense, but will rest on the belief that the state is unable to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, as required by law. Hoch was dressed in a new suit and smiled pleasantly as he was led into the court room. He professed to feel confident that he will be acquitted on the murder charge. Hoch was arraigned under the new indictment recently returned against him. He pleaded not guilty. Attorney Isadore Plotke for the defense asked Judge Kersten to continue the case until to-day on the ground that counseled him to indict. He indictment. Judge Kersten acceded, and court adjourned until to-day. A Banker's Sentence. Buffalo, N. Y., April 20—Earl W. Card, ex-president of the Medina national bank, of Medina, N.

It is always interesting to those who contemplate moving to read expressions of opinion from those living in the country. It is therefore our pleasure to reproduce the following written to an Agent of the Government and forwarded to the Immigration Branch of the Department of the Interior at Ottawa: Birch Hills, Sask, Can., Feb. 1, 1905. Dear Sir: I take pleasure in dropping you a few lines to let you know how we are getting along up here and how we like the place. We have been here close on to a year now and think the place is fine. We have been out every day this winter working in the bush getting out logs for buildings. etc., getting rails for fencing. We have not suffered with the cold as much as we did in Chicago. My little boys are out every day with their sleighs having a good time. The lowest the temperature has been this winter is 34 below and it is very still, no wind. We had a splendid summer. We put up about 50 tons of hay and will have about 30 tons to sell; hay brings $8.00 per ton now and will be higher in the spring. We have 20 acres broke and ready for crop. We worked on the Can. Nor. Ry. for awhile this summer and am just 3 miles from the R. R. and townsite. The steel is all laid to within 2 miles of the River and we often see the train bringing supplies for the Bridge. My wife's people are coming up about May. I wish you would write them and if there should be anyone coming to Prince Albert that could do with a half a car let them know. The homeesteads are all taken up within 12 miles of us. I often think if this land were only in the States what a rush there would be; it is the richest land and the most productive I ever saw, and the climate is O K I know that people back there that I write to do not believe me when I write them what a splendid winter we are having, they think we are all frozen up. We have only about 8 inches of snow, and there are cattle on the range that have not been rounded up this winter. Day after day the Ther. raises up to 50 and 60, and I don't believe we have had a day this winter that it has stayed at zero. My wife says that we used to think that zero was cold in Chicago. But we don't mind it one bit. Christmas night we went out and drove 5 miles with our 3 little boys, it was 20 below and there was not a whimper from anyone of them. I'd hate to do it in old Chicago. Well, I guess I will close and you can tell anyone in the U. S. that they cannot do better than come to the Prince Albert District. I remain. Little Fred—Your grandpa is an awful old man, isn't he? Little Joe—Yes. Why, he can remember when little boys wore boots with red tops and copper toes. Tommy—That church over there is 200 years old. Ethel—Why, grandma says it's only 100. "Oh, I s'pose that's as far back as she can remember." Little Dorothy Deeds, two and one-half years of age, made a statement to which her grandfather took exception, and he asked her: "Dorothy, aren't you mistaken?" She replied: "Why, no, Gaga, I isn't Miss Taken. Ise Miss Deeds." "Please, God, make Mamie Ross a good girl. Please make her a awful good little girl. An' if it ain't too much trouble, please make her so good that I can take her new doll, an' she'll think its noble 'an' self-sacrifice' never to ask for it back again. Amen!" Small Clarence had been called in to see the new baby. "Mamma," he said, after a long and earnest look at the new arrival, "didn't you say one time that I was the apple of your eye?" "Yes, dear," answered his mother. "Well," continued Clarence, with a sigh, "I's pose I'm only the core now." Fast Flier. The speed of a wild duck is about 90 miles an hour. HONEST CONFESSION. A Doctor's Talk on Food. There are no fairer set of men on earth than the doctors, and when they find they have been in error they are usually apt to make honest and manly confession of the fact. A case in point is that of an eminent practitioner, of the good old school, who lives in Texas. His plain, unvarnished tale needs no dressing up: "I had always had an intense prejudice, which I can now see was unwarrantable and unreasonable, against all muchly advertised foods. Hence, I never read a line of the many 'ads,' of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till last winter. "While in Corpus Christi for my health, and visiting my youngest son, who has four of the ruddiest, healthiest little boys I ever saw, I ate my first dish of Grape-Nuts food for supper with my little grandons. I became exceedingly fond of it and have eaten a package of it every week since, and find it a delicious, refreshing and strengthening food, leaving no ill effects whatever, causing no eructations (with which I was formerly much troubled), no sense of fullness, nausea, nor distress of stomach in any way. "There is no other food that agrees with me so well, or sits as lightly or pleasantly upon my stomach as this does. I am stronger and more active since I began the use of Grape-Nuts than I have been for 10 years, and am no longer troubled with nausea and indigestion." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

PAINFUL PERIODS Miss Nellie Holmes Mrs Tillie Hart You dont buy trouble when you buy an OLDSMOBILE It is the most practical automobile for use in small towns and in agricultural districts because the investment is the smallest for a good motor car—the cost of keeping it in repair is the lowest of any—the gasoline expense is the lowest—it will carry two people over any passable road—it is always ready—does not sit its head off—can always bring a good price second hand. Pusheck's Kuro is the Surest Cure for all Blood and Nervous Troubles For all Weakness, Palins, Rheumatism, Nervous and General Debility, for Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Eczema, Catarrh and Indigestion, Misuse and Heart Diseases. To introduce it in your community, I will send you "Pusheck's Kuro" on Trial A Heavy Fine. Under the Elkins law, any railroad company which pays rebates in any form, or any shipper who accepts them, is liable to a fine of $1,000 to $20,000, upon conviction. It also prohibits the carrying of freight at less than the published tariffs. The Interstate Commerce Commission is empowered to detect and prosecute violators of this statute. President Knapp, of the Commission, states that since this law was passed, rebate paying has been as rare as forgery. Actions speak louder than words, but they do not unduly inflict their conversation on those who do not want to lie. SKIN-TORTURED BABIES Instant Relief in Warm Baths with Cuticula Soap and Gentle Anointings with Cuticula Ointment. The suffering which Cuticula Remedies have alleviated among the young, and the comfort they have afforded worn-out and worried parents, have led to their adoption in countless homes as priceless curatives for their loved ones. Intimate and birth humors, milk crust, scaled head, eczema, rashes, and every form of itching, scaly, pimple skin, and scalp humors, with loss of hair, of infancy and childhood, are especially, permanently and immensely useful in all other remedies suitable for children, and even the best physicians, fail. While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should maintain so severely that obstinacy is severe on a woman's vitality. If it is painful or irregular something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious derangement of the whole female organ. Too many young men look upon education as a sort of loophole through which to escape Chicago. Sun.
