THE TWENTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 49. Washdresses for Children. WHAT SMALL GIRLS ARE WEARING. IS THERE a child alive that can long wear a frock and not bring it to a state where only a good washing will make it presentable? We have never seen such a one, and do not care to see. Let the child get its clothes dirty; but act the part of wisdom and provide it with things that will bear tubbing. The smartly-dressed child of the day has, above all things, an appearance of freshness; a well-washed air, we may say. Everything from bonnet to hose can be put in the washht; there is no excuse for spots and soiled appearance. The small miss wears the lingerie hat, made of muslin or embroidery, and this is easily taken apart and cleaned, easily put together again. We have in mind a very daintily dressed maid; her frock was of pale blue dimity trimmed with a touch of white insertion and some narrow lace; her hat was a pale blue muslin whose only trimming was some looping of pale pink liberty silk ribbon across the front; her stockings and low shoes were pale blue. More serviceable shoes might be chosen, the stockings then either blue or tan. There are summer coats of heavy plique which, of course, stand contact with soap and water; and there are very good ones of linen and of crash. If wool coats are used, they should be lightweight and have wash collars and cuffs. Big pearl buttons are liked for these summer wraps, and preferably are the sort that fasten on with rings, which can be removed when the garment is washed. Calico frocks are in fashion for children, and a very good practical fashion it is. They are so pretty, too, with their piplings and white frills, and a bit of scarlet is liked on frocks of dull color. Collars are first of all comfortable, many just large limp ones of sailor sort, and with these is used a tie of soft silk. Searsuckers, which "do up" so easily, are again in vogue; there seems a marked return toward simplicity in children's frocks. Russian suits for boys are liked as well as ever. The fashions for small men do not change much. Elbow sleeves are much worn. The smaller girls have but a wee puff at the shoulder. Little coats edged with white frills are used, the checked cottons for older misses, and worn with white waists and suspender straps make nice Charming Summer Fashions T last summer has really settled down to allow of the summer girl arraying herself in gauzy robes and cobweby coats. And very attractive she makes the streets just at present. Our journey downtown this morning was refreshed by several of her in varying sorts of freshness and pretitious. There was that smallish blonde with the loveliest, most becoming lingerie hat we have seen this season. It was of some soft creamy lace, the material maphap cotton, which but made the hat softer, more sharply; the lace was put on over a pink silk foundation that just faintly blushed through the heavy mesh, and brought out the color in the young girl's cheeks. The only trimming was some liberty-silk ribbon of pale pink loosely fastened across the front of the brim and crown, and the hat was faced with shirrings of pale pink maline. There was a neat little frock of Delft-blue cotton, square neck back and front of fine white embroidery. The shoes were of blue canvas; the gloves, hat and linen parasol of white. What else did we see? In a shop window a very effective gown of black and white (mohair, I believe), in medium-size checks. The coat was short, fitted to the figure in front. The sleeves, which were the distinguishing feature, came a little below the elbow, and were very wide at the bottom, so wide they disclosed the lingerie-wait sleeve almost to the shoulder. A small tipped black chip hat adorned the head of the model, and the hat was trimmed with white baby roses. Here and there about the costume, edging the coat, used for a belt, introduced in the sleeves, was black velvet ribbon. And remember that black and white is a combination revived with enthusiasm. A pretty lady stepped from her automobile, all in cool-looking, natural- I S outing suits. Sailor hats simply trimmed are liked for common wear. The lingerie hats are not so suitable for occasions where rough play rules. Thin frocks for the girls are made generally with the yoke, and we may say right here that the drooping shoulder is found more becoming to small femininity than the perked up square shoulder affected by grown-up Guimpes with bishop sleeves abound, and are not hard to make. They give a dainty look to a child's frock and save washing, in that there may be two or three sets to a frock, and these small pieces are not so hard to do up as a whole dress. When the little maid is to be very much dressed up—which should not happen often—she may wear a belacled thin white over a colored slip, and should carry with this when out for a promenade a parasol whose lining or outside repeats the color of the slip. We saw a little man the other day that attracted many damming eyes as he sat in a suburban train unconscious that he was the observed of all observers. He wore a broad-shouldered light covert overcoat, and a large black patient-leatherman sailor set well down on his yellow hair. His black tits and tan shoes protruded from the manly overcoat and made one remember he was really a baby. Boys' clothes now are not fussy at all, the money is put in the materials and fashion of the garments. When a two-piece suit is selected for the girl's frock, the little skirt should be gored. It has more style, hangs prettier than a straight petticoat. For cool days and plain dresses, guipures are made quite plain of heavy material, pique being a favorite. Leather belts of bright colors look well with these frocks, though white wash-bells are also used. The fashion of colored collar and cuffs for the white linen or pique is followed as with the elders, and is a pretty and becoming fashion. The lingerie hats, and many straw braids for small girls are of the Charlotte Corday model introduced last year. Some poke bonnets are seen, but they have a sort of forced picture-essueness that the mob-caps do not suggest. Hats are of medium size for the children; not very small, and not cart-wheels. colored pongee, save for her two veils of white; one dotted veil half hid, half called attention to her smiling face, a long white chiffon veil was tied over the ears, used to keep the scolding SIMPLE AND PRETTY. locks tidy, and for the banner that seems an indispensable part of autos containing feminine occupants. There were numerous girls in all white costumes, save for headgear blossoming with gay roses. Roses and bluets get along together amicably this season, though once we would have sworn they would have quarreled if put in close juxtaposition. It may be our taste grows more robust as we ourself do. In Union There is Strength. ELLEN OSMONDE CLEVELAND O., SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1905. FRESH OHIO NEWS. FRESH OHIO NEWS.

His "Friends" in Cleveland Tried to Put One of Their Number Into the Place Before Green's Fate was Settled—Who the "Enemies" are—The Little Black Tammany Leaders, Etc. From The Cleveland Leader (Repub.) Washington, July 1.—John P. Green, a former state senator from Cuyahoga county, and for many years (six or seven) drawing $2,500 a year as the stamp agent of the postoffice department with headquarters here, has been divorced from his job and his salary. The official order will be promulgated by Postmaster General Cortelyou, but the announcement was today privately made to Senator Charles Dick and Elmer Dover, secretary of the republican national committee. EX-STAMP AGENT GREEN. The charges have been pending for several months. It seems that some one circulated the report that Green's official conduct was not such as to recommend his retention in the government service. He did not content himself with making indignant denial, but ran the rumors down to their source and confronted the man he held responsible for them. The meeting occurred in the corridor of a public building and was a stormy one, attracting the attention of many clerks and outsiders. This encounter came to the ears of the postmaster general and he ordered postoffice inspectors to make an investigation. Their report was not favorable to Green and when Green made answer his explanation was deemed unsatisfactory. For this reason the order of discharge will be issued. To this extent it is a triumph for Green's endeavor, their triumph is not mixed with pain. For they had hoped to obtain the position occupied for one of their number. In this regard they will be disappointed, for Mr. Cortelyou has decided that the office is not a necessary one and it will be abolished. Hon. Jere A. Brown, George A. Myers and others of Green's Cleveland "friends" urged William Clifford, of Cleveland, (a government employee located in Cleveland) as Green's success, many weeks ago, long before the charges against him had even been considered by Postmaster General Cortelyou, and of course long before John's fate was known. They claimed that Senators Foraker and Dick had endorsed Clifford for the place—something impossible at the time as far as the junior senator, Mr. Dick, is concerned, and entirely improbable in the case of the senior senator because Clifford had and has always been a pliant "Hannale" and equally as aggressive an anti-Foraker. The Afro-Americans mentioned, Brown and Myers, and they only, led the fight for Green's place, for Clifford, and such men as Charles Gordon and "Prince" Hunley were their political supporters. Other Afro-Americans of Cleveland, all those outside of the little black Tammany, had absolutely nothing to do with the traitorous and treacherous political fight the individuals mentioned and their black Tammany confederates recently made upon John Green. DRAWN AGAINST A HORSE Negro-Owned, It Drank From Wrong Side of Trough and to Pay Fine was Auctioned off by Learned knowledge Atlanta, Ga.—It has been left for a small South Georgia village to set an example of prejudice reduced to a fine art. The case in point is the very quintessence of racial antipathy and is almost ludicrous. Briefly it is this: the town in question has sunk a large artesian well on its main street and, as it is the custom with these wells, a stream of water spouts out continuously. This stream is not to be touched by any Afro-American lip, under penalty of imprisonment in that butabaloo—a fine for each drink. But that is not at all unusual feature comes in. Not only must no colored lip touch this sacred stream but no horse or mule owned by an Afro-American can drink at both sides of the trough into which some of the water flows and which is reserved for slacking the thirst of animals. A white man's horse or mule can drink at either side of the large basin, but the quadruped of the man of color must be stopped at the left side and there drink, not allowing his mouth to pass an imaginary line in the middle of the water. If, however, a horse or mule is known to belong to a white man, although driven by a colored man, it can have CHURCH CLOSE By Injunction and Pastor and bers Forbidden to Use the Building. access to any part of the trough. Some short time since a colored man, riding a spirited black horse, stopped the animal at the right side and allowed him to drink there. This was all right to the onlookers, because everybody in the village, including the argueed marshal, believed that the horse belonged to a white man. But a certain lounging wiseacre stopped whittling long enough to remark that he had heard the colored man and now its owner. This information communicated to the marshal, that worthy official proceeded with just as little ceremony as was necessary to arrest the rider and impound the horse. In a few minutes the offender was brought before the "council" which consisted of a single individual who was the leading merchant of the place and the mayor besides. It was necessary to have present the white man who was generally known as the owner of the horse to shed light on the situation by swearing as to whether he still owned the animal. And here rose a very unique situation. He was witness sware that he had received the colored man and had received one dollar but not all the money except one dollar, but not thereby contended that the title of the trade-mony ought to have been to release the prisoner; but not so. The very learned judge decided that as the colored man had paid all of the purchase money except the very small sum of one dollar he really owned the horse and hence should be fined for letting him drink at the right side of the trough. A sentence of one month in the local changang or the alternative of a fine of $40 was imposed on the strangest prisoner. Now comes the strangest prisoner, the prisoner not having the $40 answer that it would be best to serve the time, so informed the judge and asked that the horse be sent to his home. This decision did not please the judge, who immediately declared that the money must be paid, and proceeded to auction the horse off for a little more than the $40 and, after paying the former owner the one dollar due him, confiscated the balance for fine and costs.—N.

RESOLUTIONS CONDEMNING The Iniquitous "Jim Crow" Street Car Law of Florida, Passed Recently by the Inter-Denominational Minister's Meeting of Law Whereas, the legislature of the state of Florida recently enacted a "Jim Crow" street car law which aims to humiliate all Negroes who do not travel in the capacity of servants, and which is calculated to create further friction between the races and destroy the self-respect of our people; Therefore, be it resolved that we the members of the Inter-denominational Ministers' meeting of Jacksonville and Duval county, Fla., do most unjustly denounce said law as unjust, behold, and promote of caste distinctions; and demand the spirit which prompts this and all similar legislative measures as being contrary to the "Golden Rule" and opposed to the principles upon which the American government is founded, and is calculated only to engender ill-will and strife between the races. Resolved, that in order to retain our self-respect and to show our utter condemnation of the above mentioned unjust and cowardly measure, and in order to preserve the peace of the community and to avoid possible clashes between our people and the street car conductors and motormen, we advise the members of our race not to ride on the street cars; Resolved that we print and distribute as widely as possible among our people. Respectfully Submitted: Revs. J. Milton Waldron, D. D. chair; S. A. Williams, W. D. Certaint, H. C. Williams, L. B. Ellerson, secretary; committee on resolutions. Rev. J. S. Todd, D.

By Injunction and Pastor and Members Forbidden to Use the Building. The Doors of Shiloh Sealed—No Songs of Praise Last Sabbath—The Fight Will Now be One to a Finish—A Most Unfortunate Condition of Affairs. Judge W. B. Neff, of common pleas court, issued a temporary restraining order last Saturday closing Shiloh Baptist church, and forbidding the pastor, Rev. E. D. Dandridge, from attempting to use the pulpit. Mr. Dandridge, G. L. Randolf, Samuel L. Hill, L. A. Lawson, Jas. C. Payne, H. W. Valentine, Henry Campbell and Chas. Good, members of the church, are restrained from attempting to use or injure the church property. The injunction was granted on the prayer of Richard J. Callahan, on behalf of the congregation. He charges that the trouble at the church on June 26, the congregation were seriously hurt, was caused by the pastor and other defendants. The defendants, the petition says, by preconceived design, conspired by force and fraud to take possession of the pulpit and church. It is charged that when they went to church June 26 they were armed with guns, pistols and razors, and that the timely arrival of the police. The defendants, it is alleged, by the "unseemly, unrighteous and unholy conduct have caused the church to become a place of scandal, fist fights and disturbances." Besides, it is claimed, the church property has been damaged. The trouble Mr. Callahan alleges, was brought on by Rev. Dandridge and his friends because the congregation, by a vote of 140 to 29, was demanded, says the petition, after a consideration of charges against the pastor of "crutely to his wife and on account of another woman." The charges, it is alleged, were made by Mrs. Ben Bradford, E. J. Harmon, Carrie Harmon and Mrs. Dora Lee. On the door of Shiloh is tacked a notice which forbids entrance, in the name of the board of deacons and trustees. In the pockets of the pastor and seven members, for the most part these trustees and deacons, are notices from the court warning them in the name of the law to remain away from the church. As a result there were no services Sunday. The strife which caused the posting of the pastor was still on, but the turmoil was lacking. Dandridge, Cahan, who got out the injunction says that his side will win, but not before it had separated Rev. Dandridge from the church. This he thought it would do, as he claims four of the seven members of the board of deacons and a majority of the members of the church. "I will attempt to have that injunction made perpetual and then we will be in a position to settle the matter. When Rev. Dandridge goes we can admit the other members and peace will reign," he said Saturday. THE PRIZE WINNERS. Knights of Pythias Grand Lodge Meet—Officers Elected—The Parade—Social Features, Etc.

W. ‘Stagg, of the first Presbyterian church of Birmingham, declared that ‘the Negro 1s $0 inferior that no edu- ‘cation would help him. He advocated the deportation of the race back to Africa, asserting that there is no fu- ture for the “colored” people in this country. He further asserts that dis- ease will completely stop the growth of the race, The question which first presents itself is, who is this man Stagg? Few people know anything ‘about him from the fact that Stagg has yet to win the spurs. He has attained no distinction even where he is best known, Then upon what ground does he base his propositions as one speaking with authority. In fact Mr. Stagg ranks only with the most inferior of his kind and it mat- ters nothing that an individual of in- ferlor calibre undertakes to degrade those whom he would despise as his inferiors, It is today rather unfortu- nate that the religious bodies of ‘America, more than any other are re- ceiving Into their ranks such recruits as are bristling for a reputation at the peril of sacrificing principle and honor, and only that they may drift ‘with the current and be seen of men. Jealous of the honors of Booker T. Washington won before the American public, he smites the man of humble birth and brands him as the greatest ‘Degear of our time. But when a man solicits ald and co-operation of a gen- ‘erous public in founding a school in the interest of the people and the ‘cause of humanity, the person so do- ing 1s rather to be regarded as a help- er and benefactor of mankind. We may not agree with Mr. Washington as to some of his methods and state. Bevis but we have believed him to have the courage of conviction, We can never believe (at # man is truly honest and just who strikes the un- det dog, who secks to degrade a race, or viciously stabs any member of God's humanity. This, the Alabama preacher has done. With no regard for that emaculate precept so presist- ently enjoined by the blessed Lord: *Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them.” This Judas of the twelve, spits upon the doctrine of the Master only to gratify the propensity of an evil designing nature. He declares that the Negro is so inferior that education can not help him. But 40 years of growth and development prove the gradual decrease in iMliter- Sey among the race to such a hopeful extent that Mr. Stagg betrays only hopeless ignorance in his knowledge of the affairs of the country. Too prejudiced to read and learn, he beats the wind in impotent wrath to make a case commensurate with the feelings of those of his kind. Mr. Stage Knows little or nothing of the pro- gress of Afro-Americans in this coun- try, because he chooses not to know. So hardened and perturbed in the sin of human hate, that though he sees around him the unfortunate and de. spised of the world, yet like the per- secutors and murderers of Christ, he demands this race for the crucifixion. From the depths of degradation and ignorance, this race has risen to mar- velous heights in knowledge and edu- cation, in wealth and influence, in the practice of the nobler virtues, gaining prestige and position before the world, and yet this little man of the new century darkens light as he proclaims from his pulpit the unsavory utterance that no education can help him. Against opposition, privation and per- secution, the Negro has grandly forged his way to better conditions, and to him is due a credit to be claimed by no other people. Mr. Stage favors [the deportation of tho Negro asserting that there is no future for him in this Jeonntry. Doce this man of the pul mean to say that his faith in God {s s0 much upon the surface that he doubts the promise of the scriptures’ Does he remember that God is no re. spector of person and that to those who depend upon him comes the re. ward? Brother Stage needs to preach the true and living word of God and not the mere sentimentalism which conforms to the whims and passions of a gain-saving world. The truth Rey. Stage knows a good deal mort than he dares {o acknowledge. He Knows that sin, vile and rampant abounds in American life. He knows that deformity, decrepitude and vic« are frequent evils among the rich and the aristocracy in high social tife He knows if he dares @eonfees, tha immorality, vice and crime though oftimes held in disguise or concealec from public view, nevertheless, con. stitute many of the dominant’ fea tures of all races, We might enumer ate many of the sad evils s0 incident to human life even exclusive of th unfortunate people, whom this man o Birmingham presumes to traduce. We might name a thousand cities where shame and debauchery flaunt them: selves in unblushing effrontery bu for the love of humanity and th |canse we plead, we must desist. Le | eeadion AEE tay is Band ‘anc bs uth, remembering though we speal with the tongue of an angel and have even the gift of prophecy, yet if we have not the love of God in our hearts for all men, we are as a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. MR. BONAPARTE. The industrious, sober, intelligent, and aspiring Negro rejoices greatly fn the selection of Mr, Charles J. Bonaparte by President Roosevelt as fa member of his cabinet. The new seeretary of the navy is @ genuine manly man of the same type as the president himself who believes in a Square deal for every man. Mr. Bonaparte is @ good” and. strong friend of the race: and s0 Is every White ‘nan ‘who believes as he be- lieves, that the Negro ought to be treated precisely as other men, and that his race az such, otizht to have nothing to do. with the matter. “He Delieves im the oneness of manhood frrespective of race. But why we specially rejoice at Mr. Bonaparte's selection, 1s because he not only be- Tieves as much, but never loses. an opportunity. to “openly. and publiely proclaim his faith. The republican party begins: a new era in. Maryland polities, White-men as well as Ne- groes who believe in machine politics And the spolis system, will be Sent to the Tear, and decent men, whether white or black, who believe In civic Fighteousness, ‘and the duty of em- ploying in public affairs men of char- fcter, competency and general” eff cleney, only will increase more and more; ‘and with the Increase, the “race question” and every other Ig. noble and contemptible issue will be Durted as deeply and as permanently fs we sincerely trust will be the fate Of the Poe plot for the Negro extine- tion at the coming election.

They are certainly appreciated. Many thanks, good friend. The four young men arrested July 4 for disorderly conduct on Central avenue were probably celebrating the day too well. Such actions should be condemned and stopped immediately. Too much disgraceful conduct has characterized that district of late. Mrs. Mollie Church Terrell, of Washington, D. C., arrived in the city the first of the week. She will be tendered a reception at the Alta House on Tuesday evening from 8 to 11:30 p. m. by the Hiawata club. It promises to be a swoll social function. Rosie Stafford, of Springfield, was called to the city recently as the result of the critical illness of Mr. Garland Jackson, of 12 Lennox street.

The president, Miss Frances Holt, wishes to thank the members and many friends for their liberal patronage. Sunday is the ladies' rally day for the building fund. The Rev. Father Edward S. Doan, B. D. of the American church has recently expressed himself in the interest of the Negro race in Cleveland, Ohio, and in general. He declares that a square deal—treat the Negro as a man on the part of the whites, will do both races good. He says the Negroes have all grades among them as among his own race. Father Doan is a man of God, a true priest, and a noble citizen—St. Peter's Journal and Key West (Fla.) News, Rev. E. T. Deny, editor. On June 26 at Zion church, corner Pittsburgh and Irving street, a new society was organized, the Christian Evangelist's union, the object being primarily to further the cause of the gospel and secondarily to promote the temporal interests and welfare of the people according to the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. Officers were elected as follows: President, Rev. Wm. Snyder; vice president, Rev. Wm. Morrow; secretary, Rev. J. L. Doobner; diplomat, Daecon Clay, and treasurer, Damon Jacken. This organization constitutes a council and will receive representatives from each church and mission that may wish to affiliate. It held its meeting at the same place Monday evening. Dr. George H. Wilson died Monday at St. Alexis hospital after many months' illness, the result of a complication of constitutional diseases. The remains were taken to the residence of a brother, Mr. J. Hamilton Wilson, of Cedar avenue. Mrs. Marge Wilson Hopkins, of Alexandria, Va., arrived Wednesday to attend the funeral. George Harold Wilson came to Cleveland many years ago from Williamsport, Pa., studied his profession here while conducting a successful barber business which he finally abandoned to practice medicine, and was also well known locally as a reader and writer of more than ordinary promise. Many friends and acquaintances of both races mourn his untimely demise. He leaves two brothers here and a number of other relatives in Cleveland and Pennsylvania. They have the earnest sympathy of the community. From the standpoint of fashion the August Delineator is a most attractive number, portraying the midsummer styles in all their charm and variety; it and contains, besides the fashions, many features of interest to the general reader and practical householder. The first chapters of a new serial story by Helen M. Winslow is an item of note; it is called "At Spinster Farm" and relates the experience of a woman who forsook her job to work with children and found there real peace and happiness. "The Lucky Piece" is continued, and there are also short stories by Cyrus Townsend Brady and Lynn Roby Meekins. Of general interest are articles on "Old Fashioned Timepieces," and "Old Time Summer Resorts" and on Martin Luther's famous hymn. "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." Mothers will find Dr. Murray's paper on "Feeding the Child" well worth reading, and for the children themselves there are entertaining stories and pastimes, including an amusing story, "Take by P. Paul Baum, and a "Son Riley Rabbit" story. House plans and house furnishing ideas and suggestions in cookery and other housewifely matters complete the number, which is of much interest throughout. "The Voice of the Negro" for July contains a mass of matter and illustrations on some very valuable subjects. For a frontispiece this month the "Voice" uses a full-page portrait of Henry A. Rucker, collector of internal revenue for the district of Georgia. In our Monthly Review, Mr. Rucker is spoken of as being "an honest, capable, faithful official." A splendid account is given in the Review of the commencements of Spellman seminary. Atlanta university, Virginia Union university and Tuskegee institute. Other notes in the Review worthy of mention are: "Italian Immigration for the South." "The Annexing of the Quaker City." "The Renaissance" Pauline E. Hopkins concludes her series of articles on "The Dark Races of the Twentieth Century." Miss Frances H. Kellor contributes a very interesting paper on "Southern Colored Women in Northern Cities." Mr. Joseph Manning, an Alabama white man, writes on the "Rise and Reign of Bourbon Democracy." Dr. DuBois concludes his series of papers on "Slavery."

There has been a great deal of disappointment because the Garfield report shows that the profits of the packing industry only amount to about two per cent. of the volume of business transacted. There is no doubt, however, that the report is correct. The census reports compiled by the government in 1900, before the agitation regarding the "beef trust" began, throw considerable light on this question. It appears from the census that the packing industry is conducted on a smaller margin of gross profit than any other industry in America. The gross margin of profit of 871 flour and grist mills in Illinois, in the census year, was nearly seven per cent. on the volume of business. The gross margin of fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and meat packing establishments in Illinois was only about one-third as large, or a little more than two per cent. on the volume of business. The millers have not been accused of being in a "trust," and combinations would seem impossible in a business where there are several thousand mills in the United States competing actively for the flour trade, but it appears that the gross profits of the millers are larger than the gross profits of the packers. It may turn out that the agitation regarding the packing industry will show the same result as the devil found in shearing the pig: "All squeal and no wool." Forgotten.

THE MONTHLY TRIAL HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, BEARING-DOWN PAINS. A Woman Tells How She Has Become Well and Strong after Years of Misery Due to Irregular Functions. The fact that one woman is bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked, strong and cheerful, while another is pale, weak and depressed, is due more often than otherwise to the regularity in the one case and the irregularity in the other of the functions that are peculiar to the sex. When these are disturbed everything goes wrong; pain and discomfort are felt all over the body; the sensations are often terrifying. "For four years," said Mrs. Davis recently, "I suffered indescribable misery from sick headache every month, accompanied by fainting spells, shortness of breath and severe pain in my left side. There were also bearing-down pains, at times so acute that I could not stand up, and my head was full of ringing sounds. It seemed as if everything was going to hit me in the eyes. I was compelled to lie down with closed eyes for hours to get a little relief. When I attempted to arise everything would whirl around and it would grow so dark that I could scarcely see any object." "Couldn't your doctor help you?" "Five doctors in all treated me, but I got no lasting benefit. Besides I used a lot of advertised remedies. The only medicine, however, that had the desired effect was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and they are truly a godsend to women. I did not have much faith in them when I began to take them. I found myself, however, so much better after using two boxes that I began to believe in them. They checked right away the decline into which I was going. My troubles kept lessening and finally disappeared altogether." "How long did it take for a cure?" "After I had used several boxes my health was all right. I had taken on flesh and was strong and hearty. I feel today in spirits more like a girl of sixteen than a woman of my years." Mrs. C. H. Davis' address is Carmel, Maine, R. F. D., No. 2. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are confidently offered to women for the cure of anemia, chlorosis, painful and irregular periods, and all forms of weakness. They are sold by every druggist. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O., SATURDAY. JULY 8. 1905. DEATH CAME UNEXPECTEDLY Secretary of State John Hay Expires at His Summer Home at Newbury, N. H. WAS A FRIEND AND AID TO LINCOLN He Was Taken Sick After His Return from Europe and Was Thought to be Better—Brief Sketch of His Notable Career. Newbury, N. H., July I.—Secretary of State John Hay died at 12:25 this morning. The signs immediately preceding his death were those of pulmonary embolism. COL JOHN HAY. A week ago, shortly after his return from abroad, Mr. Hay suffered a relapse, and for 48 hours grave fears were felt that he would not recover, but he rallied and since then had been apparently in better health than for months. John Hay was born in Salem, Ind, October 8, 1838, of Scotch ancestry. Graduating from Brown university in 1858, he studied law and later was admitted to the bar at Springfield, Ill. When Lincoln was elected president he took John Hay to Washington with him as his assistant secretary, which position he held until the Emancipator's tragic death. The relations between the two men, however, were much more intimate and important than those indicated by the official connection between them. Young Hay was, from the first, the trusted and confidential friend of President Lincoln. The president commissioned him as his adjutant, sending him forth to many battlefields. In 1865 he became secretary of the American legation in Paris, holding the position until 1867. From Paris he went to Venice, where he designated in 1868 he was selected to be but two years later was selected to the secretary of the legation at Madrid. For a time Mr. Hay forsook public life, going to the New York Tribune as an editorial writer. In 1875 Mr. Hay removed to Ohio, making his home in Cleveland, having the year previous married Miss Clara Stone, a daughter of a prominent president. In November, 1879, he was called to Washington to become assistant secretary of state, retiring May 3, 1881. Soon afterward he was appointed to represent the United States in the international sanitary congress, which met in Washington in 1881, and on the organization of that body he was honored by being chosen as its president. Mr. Hay held no public office again until President McKinley, soon after his inauguration, nominated him to be ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Great Britain, his commission dating from March 19, 1897. When William R. Day, secretary of state, resigned and became one of the peace commissioners, who framed the treaty with Spain, President McKinley summoned Mr. Hay home to fill the vacancy, and he was appointed to the head of the state department September 20, 1898. He then entered on a period of official service which has been marked by greater victories for American diplomacy than any similar space of time since the creation of our government. Next to President McKinley he was the most important and influential personage in shaping the treaty with Spain. Cleveland, July 6.—With no attempt at the pump that would have marked the burial of so distinguished a man in any other country, the body of John Hay, premier of the administration of President Roosevelt, was borne to the tomb on Wednesday. President Roosevelt and his cabinet arrived here at 9 a. m. Wednesday and were escorted to the Chamber of Commerce, where, after a short wait, the funeral procession was formed and with Troop A in the lead went to Wade memorial chapel in Lake View cemetery. There a brief funeral service was held and then the remains were taken to the grave near the Garfield monument. Here there was a short service of prayer, a hymn was sung and the casket was lowered into the grave. President Roosevelt and the members of his party left the city shortly after 1 p. m. Negro Murdered Three Women. Americus, Ga., July 3.—A shooting affray occurred Sunday near Leslie, resulting in the killing of three negroes and the wounding of four other negroes. A negro named Hicks did all the shooting, killing his' wife, his mother-in-law and another woman. A Destructive Storm. Elmira, N. Y., July 3.—This city and immediate neighborhood was the center of a terrific electrical storm yesterday which did damage amounting to $150,000 or more. Lightning struck a dozen buildings. A Famous Collegian Dies. New Haven, Conn., July 3.—George Day, professor of Hebrew at Yale, died Sunday, aged 90 years. He had been an extensive writer on theology and was one of the committee which several years ago revised the Old Testament. Left a Very Small Estate. New York, July 3.—The will of Mme. Janauschek, the famous actress, has been filed in the surrogate's court. She leaves a personal estate of only $600, which is left to her only daughter. WENT BACK TO SEBASTOPOL Admiral Kruger's Squadron Will be Held in Port and the Crews Remain Ashore. MUTINEERS ADOPT NEW TACTIGS The Kniaz Potemkin Sails to a Roumanian Port and the Crew of the Georgi Pobiedonze Surrender to the Authorities at Odessa. London, July 3.—Lloyds' agent at Kustenjin, Roumania, in a dispatch dated 9:20 o'clock last night, says the Kniaz Potemkin and torpedo boat No. 267 are anchored off that port and that another steamer is in the offing, apparently watching. The commander of the Roumanian fleet boarded the Kniaz Potemkin and gave her permission to take water and provisions, pending instructions from Bucharest. Sebastopol. July 3.—Immediately after the Black Sea squadron arrived here Saturday a council of admirals and captains was held on board the flagship Rostislav, Vice Admiral Kruger presiding. The council resolved to unearge the machinery and authorize the officers and men to go ashore. The Ekaterina II. is here and has been disbanded. St. Petersburg. July 3.—The unprecedented spectacle of a battleship cruising around in the Black Sea in the hands of a crew who under the rules of international law cannot be regarded as other than pirates and of the admiral in command of the rest of the Euxine fleet confessing his inability to cope with the situation and ordering the fires of his warships to be drawn, has stupefied the Russian admiralty. St. Petersburg. July 4.—According to a dispatch received by an official agency the torpedo boat destroyer Snetikov, with a volunteer crew, has sailed from Odessa with the intention of sinking the Knizaz Potemkin. Bucharest, July 4.—The Kniaz Potemkin left Kustenji Monday afternoon. It is stated that she is returning to Odessa. The Russian torpedo boat No. 267, accompanying the Kniaz Potemkin, attempted to enter the port of Kustenji yesterday. The Roumanian cruiser Elisabeth fired on the torpedo boat, but failed to hit her. The torpedo boat then retired. Theodosia, Crimea, July 6.—Summoned by the Kniaz Potemkin, representatives of the town council went on board the battleship and were received by the commission commanding her. The commission demanded the delivery of 500 tons of coal and provisions of 400 kinds within 24 hours, and demanded that in the event of non-compliance, after due warning to the inhabitants, the town would be bombarded. The commission also proposed that the mayor should transmit to the population a proclamation demanding the termination of the war, a convocation of zemstvos, etc. Learning of these demands, many inhabitants fed the town. The workmen insisted that the demands be granted. A special meeting of the council was called and the council consented to deliver the provisions, but refused to comply with the demand for coal for the reason that the town had none. Odessa, July 6.—Sixty-seven of the mutineers from the Georgi Pobiedonetsz, including the ringleaders, were imprisoned yesterday. It is expected that all of them will be shot. St. Petersburg, July 6.—The admiralty has received news that the Kniaz Potemkin, after shipping coal, provisions and medicines, is again at large in the Black Sea and that her destination is unknown. The crew took a remarkable step yesterday, when, with all the solemnity of a provisional government, it issued a manifesto addressed to the powers, announcing that civil war had been begun against the existing regime in Russia and pledging the inviolability of foreign shipping and foreign ports. This action doubtless was taken to quiet the apprehension of foreign powers and leave no excuse for the sending of warships through the Dardanelles to effect the capture of the battleship. A. Fatal Accident. Chicago, July 3.—Lee Reynolds, of Whiting, Ind., was instantly killed and Mrs. Rose Manning and Mrs. Charles Brown, of Chicago, were severely injured in an accident Sunday on the scenic railway at White City, an amusement park. The accident is believed to have been caused by a piece of brick that had become lodged on one of the rails. When the car in which Reynolds and the women were riding struck the obstruction, the car was derailed and the occupants were thrown out. Reynolds rose and stepped back in the path of another car and was instantly killed. Train Fell Into a River. Mexico City, July 4.—A bridge on the Mexican Central railway between Irapuato and Silao fell as a southbound passenger train was passing early Sunday morning. The baggage car and the third class coach fell into the river. Seven passengers were killed and 34 injured. Arrested for Alleged Arson. Camden, N. J., July 4.—John W. Priestly, a wealthy retired mill owner of Philadelphia, was yesterday committed to prison without bail by Recorder Stackhouse, accused of arson. Lightning Melted Musical Bells. Dantzic, Germany, July 4.—The imposing tower of St. Catherine's church, built from 1526 to 1530, was destroyed by lightning yesterday. Some of the 35 musical bells, composing the chimes which were cast in 1634, were melted. Fatal Flames. Rome, July 4.—A serious conflagration occurred here through the explosion of naphtha and benzine stored in an automobile garage in the center of the city.

Y., July 3. —(Special)—That Rheumatism can be cured has been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs. Betsey Crawson and Mr. Mervyn the Man. The Mrs. Crawson had Rheumatism and had it bad, all her acquaintances know. They also know she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it. Mrs. Crawson tells the story of her an invalid for most five years caused by Inflammatory Rheumatism, helpless two-thirds of the time. The first year I could not do as much as a baby when I rallied a little bit and then a relapse a year gout set in my hands and feet. I suffered untold agony and in August, 1903, when my husband died, I could not ride to the car. "I only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and in two weeks I could wait on myself and saw my own wood. I dug my own potatoes and gathered my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kidney Pills came me." Rheumatism is caused by uric acid in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put the Kidneys in shape to take all the uric acid out of the blood.

Mrs. A.E.G. Hyland The "change of life" is the most critical period of a woman's existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason. Every woman who nurses is care of her health at the time invites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active—and with a host of nervous irritations, make life a burden. At this time, also, nurses and caregivers must form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, the pain in the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquietude, and lizziness, are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change manifests. These symptoms are all just so many calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time. Lyda E.
