THE The Fashions of the Day AFTERNOON GOWNS. They are made up of those various countries and of various historic periods; we borrow at present not only from France, but from England and Japan. And the old modes, of course, are adapted to modern demands; wherefore it is difficult in the adaptation to traces back to the origin. This season we are to have the high puffed sleeve of the days of Louis XV, and elaborate waistcoat of the same period. The straight-front waistcoat of the next Louis time, and the Empire coat brings us to another period. The strictly tailored walking costume we get, we are told from the London tailors, but surely much improved upon by the American man of shears. In materials and trimmingss we hard back to days of rich stuffs and flower adornment. Velvet will be much worn it is so becoming and dressy; there will be a great deal of hand-work, hand-made lace and embroideries; colored shoes will continue in high fashion, especially for evenings, although colored uppers with patent-leather tips will appear. The colored shoes come down to us from the superfine days, as does the elbow sleeve with the deep frills of lace and the deep-pointed bodice, still to remain in style. It looks a bit queer to see the brown hands of a girl of the day extending from the delicate lace ruffes we were wont to associate with fingers of aristocratic attenuation and pallor but the girl of the present seems serenely unconscious of any anachronism. The fashionable walking skirt is of circular cut and instep length, and the accompanying coat is long and close fitting, but not so long as the separate wrap. To bind these utility skirts velvet is used, that the appearance be neat, no frayed edges suggesting untidiness. And the economically minded, as all sensible women should be, no matter how long the purse, will approve of the utility skirt of the day also because the shoes are protected, the skirt short enough not to brush against the upper parts and make them dingy. The box coat and long semi-fitting separate wrap skirts place to the shoes, which does the figure more or less clearly. One of black broadcloth should prove an excellent investment; if the material were very fine and lovely this wrap would answer The Important Details of Dress Velvet and felt will be prominent in the construction of the season's hats, the felt of a pliable sort. Feather hats also are on display, the feathers of a soft, brownish gray—very trying, only a few being able to wear this colorless combination. The leading colors in the millinery world are smoke-gray, plum and burgundy shades, and a blue that has a suspicion of green. For dress hats lace drapery will be used—velling. EMBROIDERED MOHAIR the flower trimming, which is to be a feature of the winter millinery. And very pleasing we consider the use of flowers during the cold days, think they contrast so prettily with velvets and other rich materials. We cannot slavishly follow English and French fashions for several good reasons, among them difference of climate. That which English haze would soften in our bright light looks gaudy. At this season of the year, when French and English country life is at its height, especially in the United Kingdom, are plaids looked upon as picturesque and very suitable for the fading days of autumn—every year are brought forward. On this side they never become so popular, and certainly are much too conspicuous for town wear. Still they are worn, and in the country are pleasing in the later days of the season. well for any occasion; embroidered collar and revers and large, fancy buttons should be the trimming. But we may state right here the tendency is for the lighter colors for dressy wear; this is to be what is called a color season; by which is not meant necessarily a showy, "loud" season, but one where somber shades are in the background. White waists for wear with various skirts are to be in full favor, worn as they have not been for several years. Those of fine white, trimmed with some hand-made lace and embroidery, will be well liked, and white nets are to be in mode. Spangled robes will be affected by those that care for that sort of thing, but they always remind us of the circus, and we think them very trying, unless one have very bright eyes and a brilliant complexion. Separate waist of silk and chiffon will be worn as part of the three-piece suits; answer for some more than usually dressy morning affair, be just the thing for afternoon dress, and do well enough for evening. Last year we remember a beautiful costume of gray; the skirt a fine broadcloth, the waist a creation of gray chiffon, velvet and lace; the wearer a handsome pale brunette, it was very effective. Does this appeal to you as a play on blue—a color very common and not considered especially suitable for anything save the common wear, and yet we hold that a use of the delicate tones would make most effective costume for formal occasions—a skirt of fine dark blue broadcloth and a long coat of the same; the waist of gray-blue chiffon, made with high puffed sleeves, the lower part unlined, the arm showing through the transparency; here and there some metallic luster, in the girdle back and front, and perhaps a necklace or dog-collar of silver flagrege. Costumes will again be made up on blue, with a sleeve. Save in details, which are of utmost importance in giving the right touch of fashionability, styles are very similar to those of last year. The sleeve is perhaps the most decided departure, the puff well above the elbow. Plain goods will be in better form than novelty mixtures; those that cannot afford broadcloth, or desire lighter weight goods, will do well to choose Henrietta. Embroidered taffeta is employed for breast and sleeve revers on the fall coats, the embroidery used as an edging and done in colors in silk, small floral designs preferred. If one cannot afford the hand work, very rich colored galloons may be used with good results. Embroideries will be seen on woolens as well as silks, this trimming another feature of the season. The manufacture of velveten has reached a stage of perfection, the dyes now are so good. It will without doubt prove a strong rival to velvet, the two will be extremely popular with followers of Fashion. Fur trimmings will be approved, and chiffon waistls for the three-piece velvet suit, the waist of velvet being too warm in our over-heated houses. Shoulders are to be broad, almost mannishly so, and the higher sleeve puff now in favor gives the desired fullness, in favor of just below the hips, the bust high, the deepest girdle in front much the same as last year. As one writer remarks, fashion tendencies are an accentuation and development of adopted styles rather than an introduction of novel ones. Which means we may without a great deal of trouble remodel some of last year's gowns. Pale blue is a good choice for the separate waist. A pretty waist recently offered was a light-colored mohair with open-work embroidery. This can be easily cleaned, and should meet with high favor. Sleeves for waists to be worn save with the strictly short walking costume, will be of elbow length or one even shorter than this favorite. Which entails very long gloves, and very long, gloves are pretty expensive. For evenings, it may be a comfort to know, the long silk glove will be all right.

ELLEN OSMONDE No Chance. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9. 1905. OUR RACE DOINGS! A BLIND MUSICIAN WINS A $1,200 A YEAR POSITION. Woodson, a Stage Manager in Europe —Two Magazines—Crum, Cole and Johnson—The Gazette and Its Editor—A Number of Interesting Items. Dr. W. C. Crum, collector of customs, Charleston, S. C., was banqueted in Boston recently. Cole and Johnson, the comedian, pianist and singers, are having great success in Paris and London. Charles Duke, a recent graduate of Harvard university, is a civil engineer on the Pennsylvania railroad. Andrew Carnegie's most recent gift to the race is $10,000 to a training school for teachers, located at Cheyney, Pa. Windham Bros., contractors of Pine Bluff, Ark., have been awarded the contract for building a $15,000 structure in Columbus. M. Eugene Thomas, of Chicago, invented a carpet cleaning machine which is now being used by the ILLinois central railroad. The son of Maco, (late Cuban general) is taking an engineering course at the University of Syracuse, N. Y. having been sent there by the Cuban government. The white girls in Pittsburgh mattress factory who struck because the firm hired one of our girls as typewriter, work which none of them could do, all begged back to work next morning. At Savanna, Ga., Afro-Americans have two banks, four insurance companies (which employ about 85 young men and women) and one straight life insurance company, all doing a thriving business. H. N. Jenkins who taught short hand and typewriting at Wilberforce university several years ago and who has been conducting a grocery store in Dayton for the past year, has secured a governmental position in Panama as typewriter. Charles Johnson, a blind organist and music teacher of Chicago, recently won the position of piano tuner in the public schools of that city in a competitive examination in which many musicians participated.

S. W. Christian Advocate. Rev. Dr. Thomas Dixon, the Virginia damphool on the Uncle Sam's Negro problem (?) has broken cut again, this time in the Saturday Evening Post. If what Mr. Dixon says of the "white man" of this country be true, then the white man is a hundred times more savage than the Negro, and it is he, after all, that needs the true word of God—Seattle (Wash.) Republican. The editors of The Voice of the Negro, not only present a news and entertaining journal to their readers, but one that is devoted to the best interests of the race. The August number is especially interesting. Prof. Kelly Miller in an able and masterly way answers the charge made against our people in the June number of Tom Watson's magazine. Besides, this article by Prof. Miller there are noble utterances by southern men that every race lover should read in order to know just what the white preachers and judges have to say in justice to Afro-Americans. A few years ago the patent office was able to dig out of its records a partial list of 357 patents that had been issued to Afro-Americans since establishment of that office. There were 21 patents before 1875; from 1875 to 1880, 15 patents; 1880-1885, 31; 1885-1890, 73; 1890-1895, 90; 1895-1900, 126; showing a steady increase since the days of slavery. Of the 357 patents issued to our people, 60 were for railroad appliances, 35 for mechanical devices, 18 for textile and paper making apparatus, 27 for electrical apparatus, and many other devices, covering a wide field.

Malone on "The Conscienceless"; Charles Bertram Johnson's poem, an inspiring song of the comparative greatness of Athens and Rome; Will H. Hendrickson's "Self-fishness," poem, and "The Way of the World," etc. The wide awake Cleveland Gazette has an excellent condemnatory editorial upon the perilous practice obtained on the south of the Mississippi Negro community; the rock pile with men to work out fines for petty misdemeanors. The Gazette is right about this, as it has been right in its advocacy of the race through thick and thin, in evil and good report; for the past quarter of a century, it ought payer to be forgotten that GAZETTE. the editor of the Cleveland Gazette, as a legislator, has made no mean contribution to the betterment of conditions in the Buckeye state for his people.

Says He Did Eat That Dinner With Mimi an amaker and, Family. 100 Atlanta, Ga.—Booker T. Washington has made a statement about dining with John Wanamaker's family at Saratoga. Mr. Washington says: "I have just seen for the first time the misleading and false reports in southern newspapers referring to my escorting the female members of Mr. Wanamaker's family into the dining room of a Saratoga hotel. I have not referred to these reports before being asked to do so by the treasurer. I did not escort any female member of Mr. Wanamaker's family to or out of the dining room. "I did dine with Mr. Wanamaker and members of his family at a hotel at his request for the purpose of talking on a matter of business, but at the time was a guest myself at a colored hotel in Saratoga. During the last 15 years I have been at the hotel where Mr. Wanamaker was on three different occasions when I was to speak at public meetings, as I was at this time, and no comment was made on it. "When in the south I conform, like all colored people, to the customs of the color, but whitened the north. I have found necessary during the last 20 years, as stated fully in my book 'Up From Slavey,' to come into contact with white people in the furtherance of my work in ways I do not in the south." A Physician of First Bank Newport, R. I—Dr. Marcus F. Wheatland, the noted Afro-American physician, was called in consultation in the case of Miss Walsh recently. She is very wealthy and aristocratic. He is a specialist in electro therapeutics and the X-ray and has had remarkable success. He was called to make some X-ray plates of the fracture of Miss Walsh's thigh and to assist the surgeons in determining if it had been perfectly set, so that no uncomfortable effects would be felt later. Dr. Wheatland transported his large arm to Bacilleen and it was set up beside Miss Walsh's bed and photos plates. The plates were unusually clear and disclosed a bad strain in the right thigh. Dr. Wheatland made other photos to show the fracture. Sept. 2nd, 1905. Hon. Harry C. Smith, President Onward Foraker Club. Chairman Grand Race Mass Meeting, Cleveland, Ohio. My Dear Sir:— I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your kind favor of the 31st ult., inviting me to be present and address the new mass meeting to be held at Woodford Hall on evening of September 5th.

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 F. H. Warren has a long editorial in the Detroit informer of last week giving a narrative and observations of his visit here. Brother Warrens means well, but it would be wise if he would get his information concerning Cleveland conditions where he will be properly informed about some things—Local Ex. We have read and reread carefully Mr. Warren's editorial which was republished in our last issue and find that the only inaccuracies in it are his references to several, persons whom he names as having amassed a "competency," as being "quite wealthy" and the statement that "Mr. Blue is one of Cleveland's solid men" in a financial way. These are excusable errors when it is remembered that Editor Warren secured his "information" here in Cleveland from friends of the individual who would criticise him. The would-be-critic is a person neither fit by long residence nor familiarity with the people of this city to judge. NO COLOR LINE At Chapel Hill, N. C., it is given out from the press that when a white man went to work with 12 Negroes, laying brick, the Negroes quit work declaring that they would not work with the white man. The work had to go on and our men had their way. If the above statement is true then it becomes a matter of serious regret that Afro-Americans are found in any respect emulating the example of any system that means discrimination under any circumstances on account of color. We oppose it because it is morally wrong to draw lines of distinction between men. Regardless of the fact that men are subjected to hardships and penalties from a superior force does not justify any act of oppression or make it right. Nothing is right that is not sustained by moral and divine law and it matters not that white men draw the color line and enforce measures that are at variance with the idea of the common brotherhood. It is all wrong and black men are just as guilty as they, or as censurable as any criminal who perpetrates the offense. Drawing the color line or in other words to abuse and outrage any one on account of color is a crime no less excusable than the most extreme offense against the moral law. But men yield to a malignant propensity of the heart and in supreme vanity and arrogance assert their self superiority fully sensible of the wrong they impose upon others. If Afro-Americans mean to repeat the offense by way of retaliation they make a grave mistake and even multiply the fruits of their own efforts in the cause of justice and reform. We can not afford to draw the color line against white men! for if we do, we inflict a grave wrong upon humanity and the cause for which we plead. We contend for the rights of men; but we seek nothing in the way of retaliation, nothing in the way of criminating ourselves. We live as helpers to each other and to alleviate and lighten the burdens of mankind. Then since this is true and though we are the rejected and despised of a domilant race, we can not for a moment afford to compromise the great principles of equal justice and protection to all men. OUR TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. On the 5th of the last month The Gazette quietly entered the twenty-third year of its existence. Every week during that long period of time, and on time, too, has "the old reliable" race advocate made its appearance. This is a record to be proud of. Its advocacy of the abolition of the remnants of the "black laws" upon the statutes of Ohio years ago, was the prime cause of their removal as the result of the passage by an Ohio assembly of the Ely-Arnett bill. Later on its advocacy of the enaction of a civil rights law that would be effective resulted in the passage in 1894 of a civil rights bill which 'the Ohio supreme court has since repeatedly upheld and pronounced good law. In 1893 The Gazette began an effort to secure the enaction of an anti-lynching law and after three years' hard labor had the satisfaction of witnessing the incorporation into law of a mob violence bill which the supreme court of Ohio has pronounced good, and which has set the pace for the entire country as far as anti-lynching or mob vio- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9. 1905. lence legislation is concerned. The basic principle of this law was and is recognized generally throughout the country as the best, and many governors, north as well as south, have commended it in the strongest possible manner to their state assemblies. The Gazette has repeatedly in recent years stamped to death the effort of railroads in the south to run their cars with "Jim' Crow" signs on them into Ohio. These are but a very few of the most important things this paper, ever on guard when our people's interests are at stake, has accomplished, and The Gazette is also justly proud of this record of good work accomplished for our people. Ohio Afro-Americans and thousands of others resident in many parts of the country from New Jersey to Florida and thence to California have shown their appreciation during the past 22 years and more by their continued financial and moral support of the paper. This, we would materially increase with their help and that of other friends the coming year, and therefore call upon all, now, to "put a shoulder to the wheel" and assist us to double the circulation of the paper, and thus materially improve not only its news and all other features, but also its power for even more effective work in the future than in the past in the interest of the race. AGAINST NEGRO EDUCATION Prof. Haddon, of Harvard university, took the position at a recent educational convention held in the east, that Afro-Americans need no more education than for places they are to occupy. It is very manifest that Prof. Haddon means to limit Afro-Americans in their aspiration for higher education and for whatever knowledge it is possible for them to attain. But the professor will understand that such is not the doctrine which he teaches at Harvard. He would not inculcate an idea so pernicious and pessimistic. It seems hardly possible that a man so versed in moral science and the growth of civilization, so learned in anthropology, the laws of nature and the progress of the races, could have given utterance to such a dogma realizing the fact that all development and the greatest happiness depend upon the growth and expansion of the mind. How can he consistently oppose a measure so helpful to the human family, how can he deny to any human creature that which is purely a blessing to all mankind! The fullest and most complete scholar in knowledge and literature is not the man to maintain and advance such views. On the contrary, it is the man of small comprehension and limited knowledge. He takes this view because he knows not the worth of an education. But how is it with the learned professor and what is the motive and influence actuating him to offer such a declaration? The professor has taken full draughts from the fountain and he fully appreciates the value of knowledge. Then what is the motive that impels him to interpose against a race struggling to better conditions, and why submit such an unjust impaction? Ah! does this learned man in letters mean to look with scorn and disdain upon any portion of those whom God made a little lower than the angels? Driven from Eden's sacred confines, it was decreed that by the sweat of his brow man should earn bread. Taking advantage of every means of grace, he is expected to qualify his mind and thus bring himself in closer proximity to the ways of nature and to nature's God. It is the duty of all men to fit and prepare themselves for any and every duty. How shall they do this, except by educating the mind, and how shall living men rise to higher and grander life except by the evolution and development of that imperishable and immortal part of our mental and spiritual being which lives through all eternity. We appeal to this teacher of ethnological science, to this exemplar of the youth of today and we ask him to offer a single fact either from scripture or science to substantiate the position he has taken that a man should educate himself only preparatory to some position he may be called to occupy. Prof. Haddon is a progressive scholar and he may discover the error into which he has fallen; but he has made the mistake of his life, and one which no thoroughly educated man can well afford. God wills that all matters, irrespective of races, shall elevate themselves to the highest intellectual pinnacle. The expansion and growth of mind are purely essential to the enjoyment of immortal life. Why living mortals neglect the profered privilege for living and dying for such an unspeakable inheritance? We have no foresight as to the ultimate end of human destiny. Then let all men be equally and mutually concerned to reach the highest goal. The revolution of ages and the passing of each coming generation attest the uncertainty of human events. Evolution reveals no certainty that the Negro will not be asked to confront responsibilities which today it is claimed he will never be called to assume. England has her Ireland and Russia has her Poland, but conditions in their relation to the ruling powers have been very materially changed. The world applauds the change and mankind tenders a generous welcome to any movement impelling the onward advance of the races. Conditions are never at all times the same in any country. Then let men be educated and prepared for any condition. His mission on earth is to honor and glorify the Father. In this respect may he not be able to render a more acceptable service to God and may he not become mentally and religiously better qualified to understand and obey the Divine will? By what other means can man so effectually approach a throne of grace than by an intelligent comprehension of his duties to his fellows and his God? We are all to be helpers with each other for God. The Ten Commandments obligate all men alike to righteous duties. The moral law binds the great and the small, and the Almighty assigned duties to no particular race, exclusive of another. But each and all are held answerable to him for his stewardship on earth. Of one blood came the races of men. Let the races join in the task of attaining that perfection of the soul which blends in sweet symphony the harmonies of God's sublime creation. To deny this right begets a reefe sense of the responsibilities of man to his Maker and of the infinitude of God's incomprehensible immensity in universal nature. Dare any one of his creatures interpose against his Divine power? LEGAL NOTICE. The State of Ohio, Cuyahoga County ss. Charles J. Crawford, plaintiff vs. Clara Crawford, defendant. PETITION.

SITUATION IN THE OIL FIELDS AT BAKU, RUSSIA, IS DESPERATE, AND GROWING WORSE THE SOLDIERS ARE POWERLESS Fire Adds to the Horror of the Scene and Half of the Plants in the Oil Fields Have Been Burned —Troops Are Using Artillery. St. Petersburg, Sept. 7.—The news from Baku is of the gloomiest character. The Armenian and Tartar warring factions now appear to be entirely beyond control. The streets of Baku seem to be unsafe for the inhabitants and the force of troops to be inadequate to restrain the anarchical tendencies of the combatants in the surrounding region. According to reliable reports the troops have been forced to withdraw from the suburb of Balakhan, where on Tuesday the rioters set fire to the oil works, and that place is now in the hands of the Tartars, who have completed the work of destruction and massacred the inhabitants who did not compose the troops in their retirement. Telegraphic communication between Baku and the suburban oil centers is cut and late last night it was reported that the wires into Baku were down. The viceroy of the Caucasus has seat reinforcements of troops from Tiflis, but owing to the conditions throughout the whole of the southwestern Caucasus it is thought that even with these reinforcements the troops will be inadequate to deal with the suburban region the fighting is desperate and the soldiers are using artillery. Representatives of the oil industry here are utterly despondent and they declare that on the basis of the telegraphs so far received more than half of the industry in the Baku region has been wiped out and that the fire is making rapid inroads into the remainder of the oil territory. Other advices state that a hot fire is going on between Armenians and Tartars at Biblebat and that great fires are raging at Sabunto and Nomani, fed by immense nausea of naphtha, of which there are 14,000 in that region and that the conflagration at Bibleben is steadily increasing. Under these conditions, with fighting going on in the streets and with a hurricane blowing, the advices say, it will be almost impossible to extinguish the fires. JAPS ARE DISGUSTED. Result of the Peace Conference Is Denounced and Rioters Make Troubles Tokio, Sept. 7.—Rioting broke out here Tuesday night in connection with the dissatisfaction over the results of the peace settlement. There were several clashes with the police and it is estimated that two persons were killed and 500 wounded. The rioting ceased at midnight. Police stations were the only property destroyed. Telegrams from Osaka, Sasebo and Tokomo express the popular dissatisfaction and dejection over the result of the peace conference. The minor radical papers have thrown off all restraint and pronounce the peace settlement the greatest humiliation 'the country has ever suffered. They advise a casual to ratify the treaty through transaxial expedients. Few flags are appearing in the capital. In some instances where enthusiastic citizens have displayed flags, their neighbors have advised their removal. The higher middle classes, including commercial and financial men, remain silent, but their disappointment is evident. G. A. R. MEN PARADE Fifteen Thousand Veterans in Line at Denver. Denver, Col., Sept. 7.—The main event of the Grand Army encampment, speaking from the view-point of the rank and file, was the grand parade, which occurred Wednesday. The ovation given the marchers was unstinted. The streets were packed with people, and the windows and roofs of the buildings along the line of march swarmed with humanity. The cheering was continuous. It took the parade three hours and five minutes to pass the reviewing stand where stood the national officers of the Grand Army and distinguished guests. Col. Harper M. Orahough, chairman of the parade committee, estimated that 15,000 members of the Grand Army participated in the parade. Kansas carried off the honors for the largest representation, having nearly 2,500 men in line. The Colorado and Wyoming department came next with 1,800 men. Illinois, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Ohio and Missouri had large delegations. Fifteen bands and more than half that number of drum corps supplied music for the marchers.

PEACE TREATY IS SIGNED THE CURTAIN FALLS ON THE IN TERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AT PORTSMOUTH. ALL PARTIES SEEMED SATISFIED Baron Rosen and Baron Komura Made Short Speeches Expressing Their Mutual Satisfaction with the Outcome of Their De-liberations. Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 6.—The treaty of peace between Russia and Japan was signed by the representatives of the two empires at 3:47 p. m. Tuesday. On the instant of the consummation of the great historical act, a salute was fired at the navy yard on Kittery Point. Mr. Witte, accompanied by Baron De Rosen and Mr. Plancon, left the hotel for the navy yard at 2:30 p. m. The raid, which had been falling in torrents for hours, hour previous to this time, suddenly ceased, and the sun, which had not been visible for three days, shone forth. Baron Komura, Minister Takahira and Mr. Dennison, the legal adviser of the Japanese envoys, left at 2:48 in an automobile for the navy yard. Baron Komura had been preceded by another motor car which carried Mr. Sato and the Japanese secretaries, taking their copy of the peace treaty in a portfolio. Both Russian and Japanese missions on their arrival at the navy yard were placed at the entrance of the building by Admiral Mead, while two companies of marines援軍 military honors. The copies of the treaty of peace brought to the navy yard had been carefully compared by the secretaries of the two missions in order to avoid the necessity of reading them before the signing, at which personages extraneous to the negotiations assisted. When the secretaries had ascertained the perfect exactness of the two copies of the treaty, the plimpoten-tion of the other members of the two missions entered the navy hall accompanied by Assistant Secretary Peirce, Gov. McLane, Admiral Mead and the mayor of Portsmouth. Mr. Witte, chief Russian plenipotentiary, was the first to sign his name to the treaty. After the ceremonies of the signing of the treaty, Baron De Rosen delivered a short speech, pointing out the importance of the event and the influence it will have in the relations between the two countries. He ended by expressing the satisfaction he felt at the good relations which have characterized the work of the plenipotentiaries. Baron Komura replied, paraphrasing Baron De Rosen's speech, and expressed his thanks for the kind words addressed to himself and the members of his mission. The entire Russian mission, headed by Witte, attended a thanksgiving service organized in Christ Episcopal church by American and Russian clergy. OUSTED FROM OFFICE. President Roosevelt Requests Public Printer F. W. Palmer to Resign. Washington, Sept. 6.—Public Printer F. W. Palmer practically has been ousted from office. It was learned authoritatively last night that President Roosevelt had demanded Mr. Palmer's resignation, to take effect on the Aitch. The demand of the president for Mr. Palmer's resignation was due primarily to the latter's action in trying to force Oscar J. Ricketts, foreman of printing, and L. C. Hay, a foreman of a division, out of the government printing office. Mr. Palmer asked for the resignations of Ricketts and Hay on the ground that they had been subordinate. The public printer formulated a series of charges against the two men. These charges were forwarded to Oyster Bay. A soon as President Roosevelt learned of the situation he directed Public Printer Palmer to forward to his resignation, to take effect in two weeks. It has been known for some time that Mr. Palmer would not be reappointed to his present office. For several months before President Roosevelt left Washington for Oyster Bay he was casting about for a suitable man for the position of public printer. He offered it to John A. Sleicher, of New York, but he declined it, having something better in view. The investigation made by the Keep commission into the letting of a contract for 72 Lanston typesetting machines for use in the government printing office disclosed a serious condition of affairs in the management of the office. Prominent men in the office were later late cliques. The cliques were so detrimental to interests of the government that the standard of efficiency in the establishment was reduced materially. The evidence adduced by the commission in the course of its inquiry created much bitter feeling among the men holding high positions in the office. Floating Derrick Sank Saybrook, Comm., Sept. 6.

Mitchell, of 715 Sterling avenue, are rejoicing over the arrival of a fine new baby girl Wednesday, the 30th. Miss Lena Boyd and niece, Miss Nellie Myers, of Rochester, N. Y., are guests of her sister, Miss Lena Harris, of 155 Quinby street. See the advertisement in this week's Gazette of the Woman's Friendly institute. They are running a fine dining room at 134 Bolivar street. Mr. Charles Walton, of Bucyrus, was in the city Sunday, and Monday, circulating among his many friends. He called on The Gazette as usual. Miss Bertha E. Sutton was appointed this week as a teacher in the Cleveland public schools after many months' effort on the part of the editor of The Gazette. Mesdames Henry Seaton, Noble Wood, Alonzo Butler and Miss Ida Prime, of Buffalo, were guests of Mrs. W. T. Coleman, of 333 Central avenue recently. The Gazette has written The World. News two or three letters asking that they cease using the words "coon" and "darkey" when referring to Afro-Americans. Miss Kittle Mann, a teacher in the public schools of Indianapolis, Ind., and mother were guests of Mrs. William Guy, of Frank街, several days last week. The classes of ladies which is composed of representatives of the various churches will meet Wednesday afternoon to organize a society for young folks. The cheapest and best place in the city at which to purchase tea and coffee is the Tokyo Tea Co., No. 291 Central avenue, near Granger street. Try it and see if we are not right. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to attend the military ball of the Assembly-Lamar club to be given Sept. 15 at the fair grounds, Lexington, Ky. Rev. Father E. Thomas Demby and wife, Mrs. Nettie Ricks-Demby are rejoicing over the arrival of a fine boy. Mrs. Demby is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Ricks, of Cory avenue. The article concerning Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Johnson in last week's issue was incorrect when handed to us. Instead of the Ivanhoe Social Whist club, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson entertained the guests of Mrs. Lena Harpri-Mr. and Mrs. Ellott Sprague, Mrs. David Smith and Miss Marguerite Abraham-last Tuesday week. Speaking of the Altanta (Ga.) Voice of the Negro, for August, the Alexandria (Va.) Home News says: There are a score of other good articles including an illustrated one about Cleveland, Ohio. It is very readable and propitious to prop up a mendation among the many entitled as far as space allows. In this respect it is in strong contrast to the article by Mrs. Cattle Clifford about the same city, in the Colored American magazine for July, who for some reason—petty jealousy perhaps—failed to mention Hon. Harry C. Smith the distinguished ex-representative and the veteran and able editor of The Gazette, one of our leading race papers." Mrs. Lena Harris, assisted by Mr. William Alexander, tendered her guests, Mrs. David Smith and Miss Marguerite Abraham, of Buffalo; Mr. and Mrs. Eliott Sprague, of Rochester, N. Y., a private reception and dance at Woodliff hall last week Friday evening. About 100 young people gathered to bid farewell to the visiting guests. The editor of The Gazette was given a charitable drive through Wade, Rockefeller and Gordon parks last Sunday afternoon, Dr. C. I. Mottley in his handsome double, Victoria." Such material evidence of success the doctor occasionally indicates is most gratifying indeed and a world of satisfaction to his many friends. May even greater success attend you doctor, is the sincere wish of The Gazette. Mrs. Mary French, of No. 50 Living- stone street, entertained last Tuesday evening in honor of her guest, Miss Margaret Mathews, of Salem. Cards and dancing were features of the evening. Among the other strangers present were: Miss Nellie Myers, Mrs. Elliott Sprague and Miss Lena Boyd, of Rochester, N. Y.; Mr. and Mrs. Lavada Jackson, of Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. Ezra Bowman, of Carrollton, M., and Mrs. David Smith, of Buffalo. All of this slate business—naming and endorsing publicly favorite candidates by clubs, individuals and business corporations is wrong from a party standpoint. If every individual exercises the same prerogative in voting, we will have a mix-up there would be before the election contrary to the very essence of the popular vote plan and a rank injustice to every other candidate who is not upon the slate, which not only they, but their friends throughout the city and county are apt to resent by refusing to vote for a single one on a published slate. For the good part, our ought to be discontinued. It also leaves openness that hurts the party candidates after the primaries. The article on "Cleveland and its Colored People" in the Colored America can magazine for last month was quite interesting but it fell short of our expectation because many of the real public spirited men and women of Cleveland who stand for the best type of manhood and womanhood were not honored in writing articles of places and their people one should very careful. Why was the Hon. Harry C. Smith not mentioned in the article? This gentleman has done more for his people, not only in Cleveland, but the state of Ohio, than any Negro mentioned in the essay of Mrs. Carrie Clifford. Hon. Smith conducts the best race paper in Cleveland and his state and yet not a word was said of him; not that he cares but he does. We should worth consider it an insult to his dignity. We could name more than a dozen people in Cleveland whose worth should have been mentioned in the article. Do not think that the people do not know anything of the places and the people of the same of which you write. We travel and we read; sometimes we know more about what you have written than you do. Let us not be narrow-minded: give to him—Key West, Florida News and St. Peter's Journal: Rev. E. Thomas Demby, M. A., B. D., editor and publisher. The most enthusiastic and successful meet ever held in the Twelfth ward was the one of Tuesday night under the auspices of the Onward Foraker club. As had been advertised many candidates were present and delivered brief addresses. Among the most prominent speakers were: Col. Allan T. Brinsmade, Max Farber, Herbert R. Spruell, Geo. E. Meyers, Herbert Henry W. Walker Soilon, H. Schmaltz, H. Henry T. Eubanks, Chas. W. Snider and Harry (Czar) Bernstein, Messrs. Fuller, Adams and Roberts. But the real treat of the evening, the speech for which all waited with patience and great expectation until 11:30 p.m., and in which they were not disappointed was that of the Hon. Harry C. Smith. In speaking Mr. Smith stated his reasons clearly and distinctly why he thought that he should be again sent to the Ohio general assembly. When he mentioned among these reasons the enaction of his famous anti-lynching and his civil rights utes was deafening and he was given an ovation. The committee of arrangements of the Onward Foraker club deserves great credit for the masterly manner in which they entertained the assemblage. Great credit is also due Messrs. Dan Fairfax and James Starkey, the most polite and efficient ushers; also the Metropolitan band, with Wm. J. Howland in charge, for the high grade music which they furnished. Capt. Merritt was temporary master of ceremony and a great success. A letter of regret the president was read by the president of the club. Another feature was the presence of quite a goodly number of our ladies which fact was mentioned favorably by most every speaker. Long live the Onward Foraker club. Kentuckians Split on Color Mt. Sterling, Ky.—The republicans of Montgomery county, nominating a partial county ticket, split when Afro-Americans, led by N. W. Magowan and other whites, controlled the convention. The nominee for coroner is an Afro-American undertaker. Some of the white leaders of the party declined to take any part in the contest, and it was adjourned until court day.

Typhoid fever is sometimes called nauseous fever. During the course of the fever the nerves are always profoundly disturbed, and when it is over they are left so sensitive that the patient has to be guarded against all excitement. In the tonic treatment then demanded, regard must be paid not only to building up flesh but also to strengthening the nerves. A remedy that will do both, make sound flesh to repair waste and give new vigor to feeble nerves, is the most convenient and economical remedy in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People. One proof of this is the experience of Mr. Charles Worth, of East Vassalboro, Maine. He says: "I had a severe attack of typhoid fever late in the fall and my heart very weak and in need. My heart was very much something became difficult after the least exertion and there was numbness in both hands. I suffered in that way for fully six months. As I did not grow out of it, did not in fact see the slightest improvement as time passed, I decided to use Dr. Williams' fever to cure them they had effected in cases quite mine. "Almost as soon as I began taking them I could see decided improvement and after keeping on with them for several weeks I was completely well. I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a most valuable remedy, and I am in the habit of sending them to others afflicted as I was. When the nerves ache and tremble it means that they are starving. The only way to feed them is through the blood, and the best food is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They are absolutely guaranteed to be free from opates or other harm, and they are safe to drink, grists, or may be obtained directly from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Scheneck tady, N. Y.

A Pittsburgh man has invented a machine that will make and bake 40 pies a minute. Among the latest inventions patented is a contrivance which, fitted to an ordinary sewing machine, will fan and massage the operator while she is working. An Italian engineer has invented a successful elevator for raising sunken vessels. It consists of compressed air chambers of canvas and wire, each equal to a lifting capacity of 60 tons, and it is possible to attach as many of these as may be necessary. Silicon, the most abundant metal in the world, but hitherto little known because of the difficulty of separating it from oxygen, has now been made obtainable in quantities to meet any demand by the electric furnace. It gives to steel valuable electrical properties, and is expected to assume importance in iron alloys. Greater contrast in photographs is claimed for a new single lens, which causes the picture to stand out in relief as under the two lenses of a stereoscope. The lens is convex-cconcave, so that the axes of the rays from different parts of the picture meet in the eye, and the local length should equal that of the camera taking the photograph. A novel method of getting rid of black smoke and at the same time turning it to use is adopted in some Belgian factories. The smoke is driven by fans into a porous receptacle, over which flows a stream of petroleum or similar liquid. The smoke is thus caught and turned into gas that gives great heat, and can be used for running gas engines. A poor laboring man in Denmark has made a new invention in life-saving. He impregnates clothes with a substance which will keep a ship-wrecked person afloat for several days without losing its property. A coat, a vest, a traveling rug—in fact, any clothing—will keep the man with the stuff is enough to keep anyone above water. The invention has been successfully demonstrated. PEOPLE IN PRINT. W.Ido Story, the Boston-London sculptor, who is to execute a statue of the late Sir William Vernon Harrington. He is the first American to be honored, the first American to be honored. A band of 40 Sioux Indians traveling with a circus visited Wilmington, O. recently. While there they adopted into the tribo Miss Grace Corbin, daughter of Maj. Gen. Corbin, naming her Princess Pure Heart. Dr. Joseph Spencer Kennard is to have the distinction of being knighted by the king of Italy at the next levee. Dr. Kennard recently removed from Philadelphia to Tarrytown, N. Y., and his novels in the Italian tongue have received greater royalties than any novelist save D'Annunzio. H. P. Mallan, a Boer colonel, served in the South African war, is a conductor on a 'street car line in Kansas City, Mallan's home is in Cape Town, South Africa. He is 27 years old. At the close of the war he went to Mexico, but finding nothing to do except work in the mines he left for the United States. Once upon a time, as far back as the '50s, Susan B. Anthony wore bloomers, but she declared it "mental crucifixion" and gave it up. She is very fond of prettie clothes, but only buys one new dress annually and never wears flannels or furs. Her silk petticoats are marvels of prettiness and she is most dainy in all her dress accessories. GEOGRAPHICAL JOTTINGS. The Malay states produce about seventh of the world's supply of tin. Bengal is the most populous and productive province in all British India. Near the Panama canal exists gold mines abandoned by Spain centuries ago. They will soon be repopened. Aden is the only fortified point between Egypt and Bombay, and is regarded as an outpost of the Indian empire. The principality of Lichtenstein, situated between Austria and Switzerland, is the only country in Europe without an army. Sea turtles are caught in very large numbers on Ascension island. They each weigh between 500 and 800 pounds, and 50 shillings is their average price. STRONGER THAN MEAT. A Judge's Opinion of Grape-Nuts. A gentleman who has acquired a judicial turn of mind from experience on the bench out in the Sunflower State, writes a carefully considered opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts as food. He says: "For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts has been a prominent feature in our bill of fare. "The crisp food with the delicious, nutty flavor has become an indispensable necessity in my family's everyday life. "It has proved to be most healthful and beneficial, and has enabled us to practically abolish pastry and pies from our table, for the children prefer Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and unwholesome food. "Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect physical condition—as a preventive of disease it is beyond value. I have been particularly impressed by the beneficial effects of Grape-Nuts when used by ladies who are troubled with face blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It clears up the complexion wonderfully. "As to its nutritive qualities, my experience is that one small dish of Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound of meat for breakfast, which is an important consideration for anyone. It satisfies the appetite and strengthens the power of resisting fatigue, while its use involves none of the disagreeable consequences that sometimes follow a meat breakfast." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. THE meanest man I ever saw," said Spike Munn, of Detroit, who used to be a swell hotel sneak, "was a mug I falls in on in a room in the Palace hotel, San Francisco. "I studied the make-up of the hallmen's platoon in that house for a week or ten days, watching for off duty ones, before I got a chance to do anything. Then the third floor front hallman turned up missing one afternoon. S'pose he was sick or on a drunk, or something like that. "I figured that they couldn't get another hallman to take his place before the next morning, and so I decided to do a little business along the line of the third floor front right quick. I happened to know that there was some good people located in that part of the house, and I took a rubber at the key rack and found that a lot of them were out, their keys being pigeonholed, to do as to take the front elevator, ride up the floor, step off, and the third front hall was mine for operations. I went up, and there was no third floor front hallman. It looked too easy. "This is like gunning a souse." I thought, as I gumshoed down the hall in the direction of a certain suite of rooms that I had in mind—a prima donna's suite. "The number of the entrance door to this suite was 68. It was kind of shadowy down that way, and I a bit nearsighted anyway, and so instead of getting a hold of the knob of No. 68 door—feeling of my bunch of skeletons with the other hand—what do I do but give the quiet twist on the handle of No. 68. "The door was not locked, and I knew right off that somebody was inside the room. I was all ready with my 'Beg pardon—made a mistake,' when I heard 'Come in,' given out by some guy with a deep bass voice. "Well, it was up to me, and in I stepped. It was a handsome room, and over by one of the windows a big, good-looking duck was standing in his shirt sleeves in front of a small hand glass shaving himself. "He didn't turn around at all as I entered, but I felt that he was piping me off, all the same, in that little shaving glass. He went right on scraping his map, though. "I'll have to ask you to excuse me, I began, standing up straight and throwing out the Sandow chest for a bluff. The twists and turns in this—" "The bloke lowers his razor and wheels around and hands me the whisome smile. "Cut that, pal," says he, wiselike. "Don't pass me that kind." "What do you mean?" I asked him. "It looked from his style that he was on the get, himself, but I didn't intend to be baited into any trap with my lamps open. "He stood grinning at me." "Guess you were after the singress' stuff, hey. Bud?" says he to me, and in the dark you got mixed on the rooms? Well, she's out, all right, and so her maid, I'd ha'g gone after her gear myself, but that kind o' work's a bit out o' my line, and I'm some clumsy at it. Sit down. She's singing at a matinee, and you've got plenty o' time. Much doin'? "Well, this looked pretty much like he was a member of the craft in some branch or other of it. He had the patter down all straight enough. "Moreover, his grayish hair was clipped right short, and it stirnck me that he might be a lag who'd just finished a stretch over the road, so that his hemp hadn't time to shoot out to the right length for such a good looker. But I didn't propose to nibble until I had his game copped dead to the right. "Look here, my friend.' says I, doing a heavy I'm-not-wise gag, 'what the deuce are you talking about?' "Well, sir, he just threw his head back and hollered. "You've got your business down a趴 pat, pal," says he when he's able to talk through his chuckling. "But don't make me giggle. I've got the earache. I just flag that parson end of it and deal from the middle or bottom. You're working the halls. Well, that's not my lay, but every man to his own graft. Have a ball!" He went over to the dresser, picked up a quart bottle of the correct goods and a couple o' glasses, handed me the layout on a tray with the water bottle and stood chuckling while I poured out a hooter and tossed it in. Then he took a small drink himself and went on with his shaving. "I was keeping up a heavy line o' thinks. This duck might be slipping me the bogus spiel, I thought, and I wasn't looking for any corral. He finished his shaving, washed his face robed some and stuff on it, powdered it with a block of chalk, handed me the bottle again, took one along with me, and sat down in a rocking chair. "Ever do anything in the cribbing crack line? he asked me, twisting his big mustache and looking calm as a millpond. "Na.' said I, 'that's off my beat.' "It was plain to me that he was in the business, and so I chucked up the bluff I'd been making. "I'm a pad shoe and a day worker entirely," I went on. "Can't stand for losing my beauty sleep." "Don't know but what you're right, pal," said he, crossing the room and picking up a suit case that lay on his bed. "My end of it's pretty wearing, for a fact. They've just turned me loose after a two-year stretch down in San Quentin, and I've got my eye on two or three neat things in this man's town before pulling my freight for the east." "He opened the suit case and showed me a pretty set o' new tools as ever I see—whole outfit, from all sizes o' alligator files and Jameses to cloth-wrapped bottles of nitro. That convinced me, I could see that he was O. K., all right." "See here, podner," says I, after we talked a little while longer. "I'm sorry to break away, but there hasn't been much doin' with me laterly, and I need the old girl's袜 next door. Want to see if she's left her gig lamps behind, and even if she hasn't there'll be enough in the clean-up to pay for the hunt. Hunt to have run into you. You some other time. Hope you win out on your jobs. Now I'll just step in step door, and, by the way, if you hear any body coming just hand me the rap on the wall, will you? "Sure," said he, and I edged out and reached for the knob of the prima donna's door. "Of course, it was locked, but I had the right skeleton for it in my mitt, and I was inside in ten seconds. "Well, say, the carelessness of these stage folks is queer, isn't it? That singing woman's good stuff—I pose she was wearing the paste at the matinee performance—was spread cut all over her dresser—not even salted a way in the jewel cases that littered the bureau. "It was pretty soft, so he. I dropped something like $6,000 worth of blue white rocks into the pocket of my top coat and in the top dresser drawer I found a wallet stuffed with about $1,500 in paper change—fitties, hundreds and the like. "This is a shame," I thought, and I concluded I'd drop into the room of the duck next door and slip him a few hundred for acting as lookout for me. "I turned the knob of the prima donna's door and stepped out. The next door mug was waiting for me. So were two San Francisco bulls. He'd touched a button for the cops. So was the manager of the hotel. "The duck that I'd run into next door had the wristlets on me before I had time to blush. So there I was, nailed with the goods. My pals got together and did some buying when I came to be tried and I only got a two speaker. "The big guy into whose room I slipped by accident was a Denver detective. He had a requisitioned burglar from Denver to San Francisco, and when I ran into him he was just about to take his man's set 'o' tools to the property clerk. "But he sure made a chimpanzee out 'o me." — N. Y. Sun. SAKHALIN TRAGIC ISLAND Most Violent of Russian Prisoners: Sent There from Siberian Jails. Sakhalin, the island which Japan is now taking, or, ratter, retaking from Russia, is the place to which Russia sends her violent convicts. The convict of Siberia has some liberty to console him for his detention, but the convict in Sakhalin none. When a party of convicts (having been pronounced "violent") by the governor of the Siberian station) is landed at Sakhalin the procession to the jail is as follows: First among the prisoners come men with fetters on their legs and linked together in pairs, the clanking of their chains making a lugubrious noise. Next come half a dozen men and women by the hands to a long iron rod. Then follow female prisoners, and after them the most affecting part of the whole—the wives and children who have elected to accompany into exile their husbands and fathers. Behind them rumble "telegas," or rough wagons, wherein are transported baggage and those children who are too young or infirm to walk. When on the march the prisoners are allowed three pounds of bread and one-half pound of meat each day, and they are not forbidden to receive alms. But when they arrive at their destination their lot is a pitiful one. Their cells are damp and fungus covered, their food is less than the allowance during the journey and their work in the salt mines is most exhausting. Many of the prisoners are very ignorant. Few of them can read excepting the Caucasians, but they are all put to the same laborious work, and in the event of their being physically unable to perform their allotted tasks their punishments are very cruel. The English "cat-o-nine tail" is nothing to the terrors of the "bodiga." In this instrument of torture the prisoner is so fixed that he can neither move nor cry out, and wire things bound at the end with pointed tin strike his back at frequent intervals. Other tortures to which prisoners are subjected are too dreadful to write about, and during all these tortures the prisoner is prevented by gags from obtaining even the poor relief of a scream. Surely the horrors of these crimes of heckling are nothing compared to the abominations of Sakhalin. WOULDN'T TAKE LETTER. Address on One Intended for Police- man Was Too Compromis- ing to Accept. One of the policemen who have been longest on Broadway has acquired among his associates the picturequease if inegleant name of "Juicy Bill the Grafter," and even if they do not give his full title they call him by parts of it. Usually it's only Bill, but the rest sometimes follows, says the New York Sun. One of the youngest men on the squad had more courage the other day than any of his colleagues. He saw a letter that stood in the rack of the house built for the uptown traffic man. It had been observed by all during the two days it was exhibited, but none of them had undertaken to deliver it. The address read "Juicy Bill the Grafter," and this was followed by the address of the station house. Not a man in the squad intimated that he had seen it. The man to whom it was addressed also ignored it. But the youngest recruit wanted to make himself solid. So he waited until roll call was over one afternoon. "Say," he began, as he walked over to the person for whom the letter was intended. "there is a letter for you over there. It's addressed 'juicy Bill the Grafter.'" There was an awful silence after this kind offer of information. It was not noticed by anybody—even by the man for whom the letter was intended. He walked out of the house without his letter, which may be in the rack to this day. Model Hotel Being Built At last the government is making some determined effort to make the Panama canal employees comfortable. Plans for a 250-room hotel have been approved and building will begin forthwith. Beds, mattresses and furniture are arriving at the isthmus in quantities. Arrangements are being made to establish restaurants at various points. THE WAITER WAS CURIOUS Four men, two of them carrying a big potato sack between them, walked into the Hotel Vending cafe, at Twelfth and the other night, before closing time the other night, and a man took the tables. The bag was carefully deposited in a corner, relates the Philadelphia Press. The man waited to the order with one eye on the sack. Finally his curiosity got the better of him. "Dot's a big bag, it isn't it," he said in him. "Appears in him." "Appears in him," said one of the men. "Take some home to the children." The waiter accepted the invitation and plunged his hand into the sack. He brought it out again in a hurry, with a hard-shell crab clinging to one of his fingers. Two hundred brothers and sisters of the first crab promptly took advantage of the open mouth of the bag to crawl to librate the crab. The waiter rushed a rush and took possession of the cafe, nipping everything in reach. Several seized rooster legs and shoeings and he hurried. Here the waiters made a sortie with brooms and swept the crustaceans back into the bag and tied it up securely. "Nay, please," demanded the German waiter, sucking vigorously at his injured fingers, not kind of abbles you do call dose?" "Crab-apples," said the four men, in chorus. HOW TO TELL A STATESMAN Not Only a Man Who Makes Speeches, But a Man Who Makes The late Horatio G. Herrick, of Lawrence, for many years high sheriff of Essex in the Lawrence schools, and was for a long time chairman of the school committee. Visiting the Saunders school soon after the death of Garfield relates the story of the death of a teacher to the pupils of the life of the late distinguished statesman, and thus asked, genially, can any of you tell me what a statesman is?" A little hand went up, and a little girl replied: "A statesman is a man who makes speeches." "Hardly that," answered Mr. Herrick, who loved to tell this story. "For instance, I sometimes speak to speeches, and yet I am a woman. The little hand again went up, and the answer came, trumpphantly: the woman is a man who makes good speeches.

TO CURE THE GRIP IN ONE DAY ANTH-GRIPINE HAS NO EQUAL FOR HEADACHE Doctor Brigham Says The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not because it is a stimulant, not because it is a palliative, but simply because it is the most wonderful tool it and its structure can be used to act directly to the generative organs, positively curing disease and restoring health and vigor. Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognized Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female infertility by experience. I can be relied upon to效 cure a cure. The following letter proves it. Dr. S. C. Brigham, of 4 Brigham Park, Fitchburg, Mass., writes: "It gives me great pleasure to say that I have found Lydia E. Pinkham's vegetable Compound by experience, and often prescribe it in my practice for female difficulties. "My oldest daughter found it very beneficial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my youngest daughter is now taking it with her and give it honest endurance." I freely advocate it as a most reliable specific in all diseases to which women are subject, and give it honest endurance. Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, bloating (or flatulence), leucorrhea, falling, inflammation or ulceration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that bearing-down feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion nervous prostration or the blues, off the serious consequences, and be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E.
