THE FALL FASHION FOR MISSES. A very sensible feature of the dress of the school miss is the wash waist and wash gulpe. The heavy cottonts are good and warm, and lighter weight linens can be worn all winter over a long-sleeved corset cover. Like their mothers', the waists for older girls are somewhat on the tailored order, but a few have frills, a fashion put forth by London tailors. The favorite out-door costume for young girls for common wear is the long-coat suit of heavy wool; of serge, chevlet, fancy weave, or mayhap broadcloth. For dressy wear perhaps the young lady will consider she must have a short coat suit. Desirable separate coats are of seven-eighths length, but the short coat continues in favor for the more elaborate costume. There is much buying of separate skirts for the school girl, and these are made very plain, wholly, untrimmed. The same materials are employed as used in the suits. Mohair waists promise to be very popular, and there are exquisite ones of white on display. Mohair school dresses will be worn all winter; they have the advantage of easily shaking off the dust. An attractive little frock for best is made of soft cashmere or henrietta. There is a narrow, plain panel at the front of the skirt, and the rest falls in largish pleats. The waist is a surpile, the fullness confined in pleats. With a variety in the chemisettes this little costume will pass muster for many occasions. The right kind of schoolgirl does not care to bother much about clothes, wants something she can throw on without waste of time; and the all-enveloping wrap she looks upon as a true friend. The one here illustrated is of blue cloth, the color a little brighter than navy; the fullness at the back is fitted by broad box pleats ornamented with several rows of black silk stitching; large dome-shaped buttons of dull gilt relieve the plainness of the front. For the girl at the 'awkward age', anywhere from 12 to 14, the makers of children's clothes are now preparing walstis that have a flexible featherbone in the under-arm seams. This does not at all interfere with freedom of movement, and transforms a shapeless blouse into one with suggestion of graceful curve. Both big girls and little girls will wear the gulpe, a cleanly and becoming fashion. One may al- Styles from Across the Water Styles from Across the Water The corselet skirt, worn with a very short Eton or sort of bolero, is exhibited by exclusive dealers, but is something not easily fitted or easily made by an inexperienced hand; wherefore to be avoided. The skirt with a girdle attachment is close enough kin and not so hard to construct. The girdle should be of the same shade as the rest of the costume, this is preeminently the day of harmony. In millinery, shaded hats are the most desirable, and there are very THE OCTOBER GIRL. lovely browns to be seen, rivalling the shaded rose and shaded plums. Although plum-colored suits may, are the winter is over, grow tiresome compa- mion, the early fall shows some most attractive gowns in this rich color. We are tempted to describe one in detail, an afternoon costume of crepe de chine. The skirt, which was very long and full, had a front panel of white net, across which were lace velvet ribbons of the exact shade of plum of the most say that every dress now made has a tucker or guimpe, and many of them are beautifully handworked, the doting mammas having made them during veranda hours the past summer. Again we would call attention to the silky mohair shirt-waist suit; for the schoolgirl; the mohairs come in plain materials, in hairlines and checks. Plaids are always more or less worn by the small fry, and signs point to a more than usual popularity this season. Henrietta and nun's velling are liked for dressy occasions, but for school that is selected which will stand rough wear. Some mohairs tear if a child but rises from her desk, others wear like iron. School frocks, in spite of what we said about the hand-embroidered guimpe, are marked by extreme simplicity. Good materials are chosen and those that promise durability; the cut must be modern, the design should be simple. This is the day when health is exalted far above fussiness, and in that respect at least we have advanced. Numbers of one-piece frocks are seen, worn by girls of all ages up to 10 or 11; the younger ones wear the exaggerated long waist, the older ones have the line at about the normal height. Plaid and checked ginghams and mercerized cottones are in highest favor and make ideal frocks for the schoolgirl. Details of the costume are looked after by the sharp-eyed misses, who are apt to scan one another's appearance rather more closely than strict good taste permits. Black ribbons are used sometimes in place of regular shoe strings, and a perky little bow is fastened where the vamp joins the uppers, as well as one tied at the top of the shoes. This is really a pretty addition to the short-skirted costume, to be recommended especially for the young girl that is a little lax about keeping her footwear trim. She way try to live up to her shoe ribbons. In hats almost everything goes that is picturesque. There is the Napoleon tricorne, the quaint three-cornered chapeau that is generally becoming. There are Russian caps with cord and brush at one side. And then there are white poke bonnets profusely trimmed with black velvet ribbon. And we shall add right here that velvet ribbon matching the dress is used a great deal in the adornment of children's dresses. dress. The bodice was well suited to the skirt; fitting close in the back, the front had a soft vest of white with lacings of the velvet ribbon, wide at the bust line, narrow at the girdle. Colored laces will continue in favor, the winter gowns have trimmings of colored lace and of openwork embroidery on the material, following the rage for broderie Anglaise. We had brought to our notice an exquisite gray depeche de chine, trimmed with a broad band of gray crochet lace set in close to the bottom, and having a bolero of gray lace. The French appreciate the combination of gray and yellow, and the girdle worn with this gown was of yellow satin of a pale tint; there was no harsh contrast, but a companionings of soft tints that was very pleasing, appropriate to the gray color scheme. The openwork employed on the winter suits is not so expensive as it might seem, the stamping machine being used to cut out the designs. It is used rather lavisily, adds a rich appearance to a dress. There is a strong tendency for strictly tailored effects in suits for morning wear, but many an afternoon gown will show a long skirt and a quantity of trimming. Concerning sleeves, the elbow and long sleeve vie one with the other to get ahead, but so far it is a pretty even rivalry. However, until fall days give place to those biting ones of winter the elbow sleeve will be much in evidence on the streets, and will be in evidence in the house all winter. For a demi-toilet there are many bodices made after this fashion—a fitted lining, the outside smooth and close in the back and with just a little blowing towards the belt in the front. The neck is cut square in front to admit of white or cream fluffness there, and there is a deep pointed girdle with perhaps a bolero simulated from under arm scams to shoulder.

SMITH, Editor of THE GAZETTE Since Its Birth, Over Twenty- two Years Ago—Just Renominated for a Fourth Term in the Onio Legislature. 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 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 violence 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 the 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.

CONGRATULATIONS CONGRATULATIONS ON THE EDITOR'S SPLENDID VICTORY AT THE PRIMARIES Last Week Thursday—There Were 23 Candidates for Seven Places—Popular Vote Plan of Nominating—Received the Second Highest Vote, Says the Official Counti—A Great Record. On Sept. 7 the republicans of this (Cuyahoga) county, Ohio, held their primaries—no convention—but popular vote. Eighteen thousand republicans voted. There were 23 city candidates for seven of the 11 state representatives, four being allotted to the townships in the county east and west of the city. Three of these 23 candidates were Afro-Americans, one of these being the editor of The Gazette. The results show that he received the second highest vote of the 23 candidates, 20 of whom were white, and came well up toward equaling the combined vote of the two other Afro-American candidates. In 1899 when a candidate for a third term in the Ohio legislature, he did the same thing—won second place on the ticket and there were a larger number of candidates than on the 7th of this month. In 1895, he was fifth, and in 1893 won first place in a “district” contest with one candidate (white) who was seeking renomination. This is something to be proud of and doubtless caused about 300 of our people with a brass band to surprise him and “make the welkin ring” at his home last week Friday evening, and others to send letters and telegrams of congratulation, a portion of which we publish herewith: Cleveland, O., Sept. 8, 1905.

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. Please excuse us for publishing the editor's portrait. The only excuses for such a reprehensible act are given in the few lines underneath the portrait. We are very happy. Will you blame us for "celebrating" just a little? We don't rejoice as a result of the abuse of Booker T. Washington by southern daily papers, because we know they are but "diring" at the race, using Mr. Washington as a sort of "blind" target. That is the situation pure and simple. Furthermore, we believe that Booker Washington or any other Afro-American has the same civil, social and all other rights that any other American is entitled to and is privileged to exercise them when and as he sees fit, providing of, course, his company, man or woman, black or white, is equally as willing. Social equality and marriage are much the same in at least one respect and that is when it comes to individuals concerned exercising their own judgment. They will 'not, as a rule, permit dictation from others and that is right, too. A MOB BUILDING A COLLEGE The good white citizens of Paris, Tenn., are just now actively concerned in establishing a first class college in their community. Mr. W. E. Grove, a former citizen of Paris, of worldwide fame and now a resident of St. Louis, has donated $100,000 and other leading magnates have given freely from ten to twenty thousand dollars to aid in the work. Unfortunately the seat of learning is to be located in a settlement occupied by Afro-Americans. It is proposed to buy the land and homes from our families, but no agreement has been reached, and it seems that a deal has so far failed owing to the fact that the figures offered were not such as to induce a bargain. The plot of ground is a high elevation and white citizens have only very recently discovered the desirability of the situation. Parties concerned finding their endeavors unavailing to secure the land at their price resorted to a terrible strategy and in the dark of night, Quinn Fitzgerald, an Afro-American, and one of the property owners, was half in the back. Quinn has a half dozen brothers who armed themselves in defense of their homes and declared that they would never be driven from their possessions in that manner. Our people as a whole received notice that they must leave the city within so many hours. At once the so-called good citizens called a public meeting and it was resolved that for the sake of peace and harmony the Afro-Americans residing upon the heights and its vicinity should leave the town. Our men kicked against the action of the meeting, but the older heads and professed friends waited on them and advised that it was best for them, under present circumstances, to leave the place less something worse might follow. These families were doing well, but they have left upon the insistence of their so-called friends. TALKING THROUGH HIS HAT. It is rather unfortunate for the race that Justice of the Peace Robert H. Terrell, a representative Afro-American, of the District of Columbia, has ventured the untenable and erroneous statement that out of the 98,000 Afro-Americans of the District fully 25,000 do not work. Mr. Terrell is the husband of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, one of the best educated and most forceful and eloquent advocates of our race. Upon what grounds or motive Justice Terrell was actuated to make such a statement seems difficult to conjecture. We can hardly believe that he was catering to sentiment, yet the motive seems sinister to say the least. Few persons can believe that among a great enterprising and prosperous people as are found in the District of Columbia, 25,000 of that number are mere idlers, hangers on, living as paupers without any means of subsistence. The talk is simply empty of meaning and we are astonished that a man of the professed superior accomplishments and so well known as Mr. Terrell should commit such a blunder. The case calls for no argument. It admits of none in view of the fact that the thousands of accruing advantages which everywhere confront the citizens of the District, at once refute the charge that around the nation's capitol are found hordes of idlers living without labor. The regulations of the District forbid such a condition of things THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 16. 1905. and the increasing wealth of the leading people on the continent, forbids the imputation. Very many of the Afro-American population of the District are wealthy and they afford business enterprises which conduce largely to eliminate idlers from the midst of the people. Nowhere on the continent does such a condition of affairs exist as he indicates obtains in Washington, D. C., and why should Justice Terrell assume the offensive in making a case that is not less than ridiculous the way he states it. We may peruse the archives at the capitol and we find nothing on record to sustain the glaring exaggeration of Mr. Terrell. The census of 1890 showed distinctly that a large majority of our people was engaged in some kind of occupation and honorable pursuit in life, and that their great and improved school system together with the many other favorable environments served as a mighty stimulus to labor and a industrial life. It is to be deplored that Mr. Terrell has so wantonly erred and that he has erred in the face of the overwhelming facts which are against him. He also declares that three-fifths of the cases brought by Negro servants against their employees are at fault. How in the name of merest reason does Squire Terrell get his information? Has he tried the five-fifths and fully satisfied his mind from an unbiased decision? Certainly not. Then has he not drawn his conclusion from premises altogether false? It is evident that Justice Terrell is personally concerned in the lecture he has made before the National Negro Business Men's league of New York and to the extent of having a pull with those whom he supposes may enhance his own individual gains. We are satisfied that Squire Terrell has made a sad miscount. New Officers of the N. A. A.

Booker Washington as Bell Boy. Booker Washington as 'Bell Boy. Des Moines, Iowa.—"Will you bring me a pitcher of ice water? I can't make anybody in the hotel office understand anything." The words were uttered by a man who white-washed the leather of the Fairfield, Iowa, Aug. 28, and were addressed to an Afro-American who chanced to be passing through the hallway. "Certainly, madam," came the prompt reply; "I will attend to the matter at once." Two minutes later the hotel clerk came up. "Do you know the name of the man you asked to bring that water?" excitedly exclaimed the clerk. "It was the porter, was it not?" "Woman, that was Booker T. Washington, who addressed 5,000 people here that evening at Chaucer's White House, recovered her composure she sent her apologies. Mr. Washington, however, recovered the affair as a joke. The wide awake Cleveland Gazette has an excellent condemnatory editorial upon the pernicious practice obtaining only in the south of putting criminal Negro women on 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 never to be forgotten that 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.

If in any way you can secure your interest toward final success in November I shall be pleased to do so. I am expecting to take some part in the coming campaign. With earnest interest in your success, I am. B. F. Stewart. Wilberforce, O., Sept. 12, 1905. My dear Smith: Please accept my best wishes and warmest congratulations on your splendid victory, which is more than simply a personal one, but a triumph for the race. God bless you! I am always glad to commemorate your ever found. With the hope that your future may grow brighter and brighter, I am my dear sir. Oberlin, O., Sept. 11, 1905. Dear Sir: The contest in your city and county for representation upon the republican ticket has occasioned considerable interest in this locality and the decisive victory you have won in the primaries just closed is sufficient proof of your popularity, while very flattering to you. I further extend my best wishes for your complete success in November. I am, Yours very sincerely, L. W. Vaughan. Cleveland, O., Sept. 8, 1905. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor Gazette. My dear Mr. Smith: I congratulate you on your nomination and sincerely hope that you will be elected. Respectfully yours, H. T. Eubanks. Cleveland, O., Sept. 8, 1905. Hon. H. T. Eubanks City. My dear Mr. Eubanks: Your very prompt letter of congratulation, just received, gives me satisfaction, I assure you. I am sorry that you too were not nominated. Trusting that success will come to the entire republican ticket in November and with the very best wishes for you and yours, I am. Sincerely, Harry C. Smith. Cleveland, O., Sept. 10, 1905. My dear Harry: Permit me to rejoice with you to the end that you may be elected. I am your servant till the votes are cast and counted. Berea gave you a nice compliment. Enclosed I send returns. Two laws of great importance should be spread upon our statutes by the next assembly, viz: A county salary law and a county jury law, the latter similar to the New York state law. The man who fights those matters to a successful issue will make a reputation for future reference. Think of these two things Harry. Knowing you will make a forceful and brilliant campaign, I am. Yours very truly. Youngstown, O., Sept. 8, 1905. Dear Harry: Accept most hearty congratulations. A nomination by the popular vote plan is far more complimentary than a nomination handed out by a corrupt and boss-ridden convention. The former attests one's popularity and standing in the community in which he lives and proves him to be a living political force. The latter simply indicates one's standing with the boss who rules the convention. Your nomination therefore, at the hands of the people of your county, is the highest compliment they could pay you, and is a complete vindication of your public record and confides in you an undisputed leadership. I trust your election will be as triumphant as your nomination. Sincerely, W. R. Stewart World's Highest Bridge Is Opened.

"I was out and out of all the time, but now I stay up all day and do all my own work. "I was badly run down from overwork. One day nurses began in my head and almost made me crazy. My head felt as if a tight band had been put around it, and the pressure and the sounds made me so uneasy that I often had to walk the floor all night. I was scared and I had smothering sensations. At such times my body seemed bloodless, my hands were like chalk and my face turned yellow. The doctor said I had dyspepsia in the worst form. Then my nerves gave way and I was completely suffused from mothering sensations. "The first box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I used quieted my nerves so that I could get a good night's sleep, which was a new experience for me. Before I began to use them I was a nervous wreck and trembled at the slightest sound. I was so weak that I had to sit down and rest every few steps when I want up stairs. Now I can run with my feet on the floor. I had sensations gone and the noises in my head have stopped entirely. My appearance has greatly improved, for friends who were alarmed on my account before, now say: 'How well you are looking!'

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16. 1905. RELIGIOUS WORKERS. The Rev. C. H. Marshall, pastor of St. Barnabas's Episcopal church, of Denver, Colo., for 31 years, has officiated at 5,000 baptisms, 3,500 funerals and 1,700 weddings. A man 80 years old, who, by reason of his lineage and age, has been the recognized head of the Confucians in the part of Korea where the Presbyterian mission: I as been holding evangelistic services, has now accepted Christianity. His son has long been a Christian and a church leader. Lord Radstock, known as the "Preacher Peer," often delivers religious addresses both in London and the provinces. He actually founded in Russia the sect known as the Pashkoffskil, which may be best described as synonymous with Bibl¹ Christians, but the holy synod drove him out of Russia. Rev. O. H. E. Rauch, pastor of the Reformed church, Stroudsburg, Pa., is an earnest worker among the young people of that place. Some of them, members of his church, proposed to give a minstrel show and Mr. Rauch cordially indorsed the idea. More than that, he wrote some of the "gags" and himself acted as "middle man." The show was a great success. Rev. J. C. Simmons, the pioneer of the southern Methodist church on the Pacific coast, has begun his autobiography. Dr. Simmons went to California in February, 1852, and is the only man active in church work who was present at the organization of the Methodist Episcopal church south on the coast. He is 78 years of age and has been preaching for 57 years. Mr. John Wanamaker has given the International Young Men's association $100,000 to be used in constructing Christian Association buildings in heathen cities. The gift will be used to erect buildings in Kyoto, Japan; Peking, China; and Seoul, Korea. He has testified his appreciation of what the association does for young men in missionary countries by previous gifts of buildings in Madras and Calcutta, India. TICKLESOME TALES Prof. Sylvester Burnham was once asked by one of his not very industrious students whether he thought Hebrew would be the language in Heaven. The genial professor replied: "I am not sure; but it would be safe for you to be prepared." A man who is always on the look-out for novelists, says the St. James' Budget, recently asked a dealer in automobiles if there was anything new in machines. "There's a patented improvement that has just been put on the market," replied the dealer. "A folding horse that fits under the seat." A lawyer named Patchell recently had a case in an Irish court, where the plaintiff in a breach of promise suit asserted that the defendant kissed her, but that she did not return his salutes. "Well, I never came across a girl like that," remarked Lawyer Patchell. "We won't go into these personal revelations here, Mr. Patchell," said the judge. Senator Proctor, of Vermont, is reported to have said that the finest speech he ever made consisted of only four words. Senator Hoar in a speech in the course of which he chaffed good-natured the senator from the Green Mountain state, made this little thrust: "No man in Vermont is allowed to vote unless he has made $5,000 trading with Massachusetts people." Senator Proctor retorted: "And we all vote." One of the quaint characters well known to old-timers of Portland, Ore, was Robert E. Bybee, familiarly known as "Bob" Bybee. He was a justice of the peace in Portland for many years. On one occasion, when a jury was being impaneed, one of the jurors, a well-known attorney, asked to be excused because he was a lawyer, "Well," said Bybee, "I guess that all the law you know isn't going to disqualify you from serving." "Oh, yes. He was a 'genius,' and she had money enough to support both."—Town Topics. "Oh, pshaw! He has a blunderbuss mouth and a popgun brain."—Town Topics. HONEST PHYSICIAN Works with Himself First. It is a mistake to assume that physicians are always skeptical as to the curative properties of anything else than drugs. Indeed, the best doctors are those who seek to heal with as little use of drugs as possible and by the use of correct food and drink. A physician writes from Calif. to tell how he made a well man of himself with Nature's remedy: "Before I came from Europe, where I was born," he says, "it was my custom to take coffee with milk (cafe a lait) with my morning meal, a small cup (cafe noir) after my dinner and two (cafe noir) additional small cups at my club during the evening. "In time nervous symptoms developed, with pain in the cardiac region, and accompanied by great depression of spirits, despondency—in brief, 'the blues.' I at first tired medicines, but got no relief and at last realized that all my troubles were caused by coffee. I thereupon quit its use forthwith, substituting English Breakfast Tea. "The tea seemed to help me at first, but in time the old distressing symptoms returned, and I quit it also, and tried to use milk for my table beverage. This I was compelled however to abandon speedily for while it relieved the nervousness somewhat, it brought on constipation. Then by a happy inspiration I was led to try the Postum Food Coffee. This was some months ago and I still use it. I am no longer nervous, nor do I suffer from the pains about the heart, while my 'blues' have left me and life is bright to me once more. I know that leaving off coffee and using Postum healed me, and I make it a rule to advise my patients to use it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. FINAL CHAPTER IN HERZIG CASE FINAL CHAPTER IN HERZIG CASE THE CORPSE OF A SELF.CON FESSED MURDERER IS FOUND HANGING TO A TREE. IN A RAVINE IN NORTH DAKOTA Around His Neck Was a Shred of Green Veiling Which Is Alleged to Have Been Worn by the Woman He Killed Over 30 Years Ago. Minot, N. D., Sept. 14.—The dead body of Charles Herzig, who left a written confession that he was guilty of a murder committed near Youngs-town, O., over 30 years ago, has been found by a pose of teachers. The body was hanging to a tree in a secluded ravine in Wallace county. Pinned to his breast was a piece of paper on which was written the following: "My name is Charles Herzog. Over 30 years ago I murdered a young girl named Lizzie E. Grombacher, near Youngstown, O. Charles Sterling, an innocent man, was tried, convicted and hanged for the murder of this girl, my body is ever found, notify my mother, Catherine Herzig, Girard, O. " If Herzig had not left a written confession and had not made at the Byer ranch a threat of suicide his body might not have been found for years, as he hanged himself in a spot seldom visited. Around his neck was a shred of thin green stuff such as women use for face veils. It is recalled by a former Youngstown man here that Lizzie Grombacher wore such a vell when murdered and that part of it was used to strangle her. The piece found Herzig's neck is supposed to be the remnant of the vell, the same such a piece to a fellow ranchman, to whom he told the story of his crime, declaring that he had kept it all these years to use in ending his own life some day. Herzig said in his confession to the rancher that after committing the murder and exchanging shirts with Sterling, he went to Warren, O., where he was employed as a gardener by a lawyer named Ratiff. After Sterling's arrest and trial Herzig fled to Mesopotamia, O., where he remained in hiding until the eve of Sterling's execution, when he stole a horse and went west. He settled in Telluride, Col., where he married. Ohio people commenced to move in and, becoming frightened, he deserted his wife and went to Death Valley, in California. Since then he had been a wanderer. WAS KILLED AT SUNSET. Three Civil Engineers Were Run Down by a Work Train on the Lackawanna Railroad. Cortland, N. Y., Sept. 14.—Three young civil engineers in the employ of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Co. were killed by a work train last night while returning to Cortland on a hand car. They were J. M. Rowe, of Binghamton, N. Y.; H. O. Bliesecker, of Lestershire, N. Y., and J. R. Funk, of Binghamton. The three engineers arrived here Wednesday morning and had spent the day at work on the Cincinnatus division of the Lackawanna railroad. Completed their labors they boarded a hand car and began the journey to Cortland. When three miles from here they were overtaken by a work train also bound for this city. The engine of the work train was in the rear and a watchman was stationed on the forward car to keep a sharp lookout on the track ahead. The watchman said the train was running due west at the time of the accident and that he could not see the hand car, being blinded by the rays of the setting sun. The engineers did not see the approaching train in time to jump, and they were killed almost instantly. A YOUTHFUL DEGENERATE He Sent Infernal Machines Through the Mails, Set Fire to a School and Practiced Burglary. New York, Sept. 14. — Thomas French, an East Orange, N. J., youth, who was arrested by postoffice inspectors, confessed to the police yesterday that he had sent threatening letters and three infernal machines to Valentine Riker, an insurance official, who also resides in East Orange. The boy, who is 17 years of age, said he sent the machines as a joke; that he got the idea from reading of such devices in the New York newspapers and anticipated the pleasure of reading about the experience of some one who received a machine of his own construction. French also confessed to having set a public school building and a neighbor's barn on fire, and said he had practiced at burglary in his own home, frightening his mother and sisters badly. Application has been made for a commission to inquire into the youth's sanity. Leiter Discharges HIs Mine Guards. The Earth Still Trembles.

Rough Weather on the Ocean Mad Kansan Think He Was Back on the Farm. A Kansan crossing the Atlantic in rough weather went out on deck when a big gale was blowing. Nobody was in sight except the captain, relates the Kansan Captain. "Go below there," the captain shouted. The passenger looked around to see whom he was talking to. "You mean me?" he yelled back when he saw there was no one else in sight. "Go below," and the captain came alongside. "Well, I guess not," protested the Kansan. "I'm up here to see how one of your mountain high waves and 'terrific' waves crash against the gas in the way of cyclones. This isn't a patch to what I've seen out our way." A big wave broke over the deck, sweeping across the water with a broken leg, a twisted shoulder, a sprained wrist, and his face looked as if it had been dragged backward through the beach. When he came to be saw the captain, by gravy, cap, he said, feebly, "that sight, right home, only it was a dern sight wetter." Cure to Stay Cured Wapello, Iowa, Sept. 11th.

One of the sisters sters in silver shells. The set of silver shells was broken—there were only 11. The mistress, therefore, told the butter sters to eat oysters, and thus there would be just enough to go around. The butter, when the oyster course came placed before the butter shells. To his horror, she did not decline it. Calmly she let it rest before her. If she started to eat it, one guest would short of oysters. What was the matter her mother know? The butter watched her nervously. She took up her fork. She was actually about to plunge it into the dainty shell. Then she took it out and bent over her side and bent over her respectfully: "Pardon me madam," he murmured, the doubt was to remind you that the doubt orbure your eating oysters on your account."

You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate to trouble to troubles to a man besides a man does not understand—simply because he is a man Many women suffer bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probably examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without proper care can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of once-common words, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. If you are ill, don't hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pinkham's name. When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health so many women, you cannot well say, without trying it, "I do not believe it will help me." W. L. DOUGLAS $3.50 & $3.00 SHOES FOR MEN W. L.
